He wears long dark hair, white face paint with a red tilak, a red garland, layered rudraksha and gold beaded necklaces, gold armlets and a saffron-orange cloth. He holds a long silver staff or rod. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate gold and beaded necklaces, rudraksha malas and saffron clothing, seated in a ceremonial procession.2013-03-02March 02 20132013-03-02March 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesA seated man on an ornate silver-framed throne with a deep red velvet cushion, smiling and holding a silver ceremonial staff across his lap. He wears an orange garment with a leopard-print wrap, a long multi-strand rudraksha-style bead mala, a beaded armlet and bangles. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Behind him hang a tasselled canopy in red, yellow, green and purple, green foliage, and a framed orange-and-white decorative panel. A person in white sits at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate clothing and rudraksha beads on a throne, with a silver staff in the ceremonial role of a presiding guru.2012-12-13March 02 20132013-03-02A man seated on an ornate procession chariot, smiling with palms pressed together in anjali. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe, a long white and red flower garland, and a leopard-print shawl over one shoulder. Long dark hair falls behind him and a red bindi marks his forehead. Behind him are colourful tassels in pink, green and blue, a gold-and-purple floral pillar, and a red-and-gold canopy. Blurred figures in white stand in the background. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robe, long swept-back hair, and ornate garlands and shawl match the page's claim, so this is an appearance-based candidate seated in a ratha/chariot procession.2010-02-12Night photograph of a procession.

An orange and yellow canopy with fringe shelters the seat, with a silver curved object and a trident-like staff nearby. Devotees line the dark roadside behind, some in white and orange. Gold kalasha-like vessels and a small orange cloth are on the platform.2013-03-02
