A photograph of a man in a sleeveless saffron-orange garment wearing a long garland of white, yellow, red, green and purple flowers, with a red bindi on his forehead. He stands among coconut palms, bending slightly to handle a thick orange cord and a brass plate holding a folded white cloth, while hands from another person hold the plate. A second man with a red mark on his forehead is partly visible at the right edge.2009-12-23A photograph of one man smiling warmly with his head tilted downward, long dark hair swept back, a small red tilak on his forehead. He wears a saffron-orange sleeveless garment with a maroon sash, a gold chain necklace, and gold-beaded ceremonial necklaces. Two long garlands of white jasmine with yellow, purple and red flowers hang over his shoulders. Behind him is a grey stone wall. The distinctive long hair, saffron clothing, gold ornaments and garlands are consistent with the page's Swamiji (probable) label.2009-12-26March 10 20132013-03-10December 23 20092009-12-23August 15 20102010-08-15A barefoot man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi stands on a red stone platform in front of a palm tree, wearing saffron-orange draped clothing and a long necklace of large gold beads. He wears a garland of white and red flowers and holds green leaves, with a yellow marigold garland at his waist and white cloth bundles tied with orange cord. A second man in orange robes on the right holds a tray of similar white cloth bundles. Marigold and multicolour flower garlands lie on the stone ledge at left, with petals scattered on the platform. Appearance cues are consistent with the page's Swamiji candidate, including long hair and the gold bead necklace and saffron clothing, so this is marked as a probable identification in person.2011-12-11A man with long dark hair sits with palms pressed together in namaste on an ornate golden throne decorated with white, pink and green flower garlands. He wears an orange-saffron robe, a red bindi and a long mala-style garland of white and pink flowers. Red and maroon tiger-striped cushions line the throne, and a red cushion rests beneath his bare feet. Flower petals and garlands are arranged at the base, with fruit on the armrest ledges and a pale draped table at each side. The backdrop is a large printed photograph of a rocky, cave-like landscape in warm tones. A purple bird logo sits at the top left corner.2009-08-08October 05 20142014-10-05A man in saffron-orange robes stands beside a tall copper pillar, pulling a rope with both hands during a flag-hoisting ceremony. He wears a long gold necklace with a pendant, a white and red flower garland draped across his shoulders, and a red tilak on his forehead. His long dark hair falls to his shoulders. Behind him stands a green palm tree under an overcast sky, and a garlanded deity murti is visible on the pillar's base. The copper pillar is wrapped in white and red flower garlands, consistent with a dhwajarohanam flag-hoisting rite. Another orange-robed figure is partly visible at the lower right edge.2010-07-26March 11 20132013-03-11July 17 20082008-07-17July 07 20092009-07-07
