A garland of yellow and purple flowers hangs on the trunk at left. Dry dirt ground and a white boundary wall are visible behind, with a small grey pole and a palm tree in the background. The figure has long dark hair and a thin gold necklace; the saffron robe and long hair are the appearance cues, and the page names Swamiji at this event but the face is not used. Swamiji (probable) in the sense of an appearance-based candidate with multiple cues: long swept hair, saffron clothing and a gold necklace.2010-02-12A photograph of a man in an orange-saffron robe standing barefoot at the base of a large banyan tree with thick, twisting aerial roots. He has long dark hair swept back, wraps the orange cloth over one shoulder and around his waist, and leans his face and one hand against the trunk. He stands on a low circular stone platform with a sandy floor. Green leaves and trees fill the background. a person by appearance cues: long swept-back hair and saffron clothing.2010-08-10 +1 copiesA photograph of a large banyan tree with many aerial roots and prop roots spreading across a sandy ground. A standing man in saffron-orange robes and bare feet leans against the trunk with his hands clasped, a beaded mala around his neck. A white chalk kolam or geometric floor drawing with a trident-like motif is painted on the ground at the base, beside a small stone slab. Green leaves and bright daylight fill the background. The man's hair is short and his figure is not distinctly adorned, so no appearance-based identification is made.2011-02-01February 27 20162016-02-27 +1 copiesAugust 02 20162016-08-02 +1 copiesDecember 29 20082008-12-29A large, sprawling banyan tree dominates the scene, its many thick grey branches spreading wide over a sandy courtyard with aerial prop roots hanging down.
