Photograph of an orange-robed sannyasi with a long white beard and grey hair in a bun, bearing a white sacred ash marking with a red kumkum dot on the forehead, seated with eyes lowered. Beside him sits a person with dark hair wearing an orange turban and orange robes, facing away. Behind them stand other saffron-clad people, and a red and gold cushioned throne-like chair is visible. A rudraksha mala hangs at the chest. Two people are visible in the foreground and several more partially in the background. The candidate's appearance is consistent with the page's claim, with long swept-back hair, ash and kumkum markings, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, but identity is only probable, so this is labelled Swamiji (probable) seated in person.2008-02-17Photograph inside a red-draped hall at a Kumbh Mela camp, with a dark carved relief panel on the right wall. In the foreground, a bald man with orange tilak and an orange shawl reaches toward a tray.

Several other saffron-robed sadhus stand behind, and a seated crowd fills the background. Hands are raised in namaste in the lower left.2016-05-05April 23 20162016-04-23A photograph of an elderly man in orange robes and an orange turban with a green border, wearing a red and wooden rudraksha mala and a white vibhuti line on his forehead.

A hand rests on her shoulder from behind. Behind them, two men stand in orange and yellow clothing, and a red curtain hangs at the left.

In the foreground, a figure wearing an orange turban, rudraksha mala and bare upper body stands with palms pressed together in greeting, facing an older bearded man with white hair and glasses in orange robes who bows with folded hands. Behind them, people in white dhotis with red and saffron sashes and orange-robed sadhus stand watching, and a devotee holds up a phone to record. Swamiji (probable) is the figure in the orange turban with the rudraksha mala, identified by appearance cues only, and the orange-robed elder is a visiting sadhu receiving the greeting.2016-05-05September 14 20152015-09-14Indoor satsang in a temple-like hall with a wooden pillar and a lit shrine niche behind.
