October 20 20112011-10-20A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with gold-bordered edges walks barefoot down white and red-striped steps. He wears a long gold bead necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, with long dark hair swept back, and his eyes are lowered as he looks down. Another person in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl stands in the background within a room with a wall clock, a metal vessel on a stand, and a green mat at the base of the steps. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron ornate clothing and gold bead necklace.2011-09-15A photograph outdoors of a man with long dark hair and a red bindi, wearing a saffron-orange sannyasi wrap with gold-bordered edges and a long gold rudraksha-style bead necklace.

He wears an orange saffron-style dhoti and upper cloth with gold border, multiple pink and white flower garlands, a gold necklace with ornate gold beads, rudraksha bracelets on his arms and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him, a bald older man in orange robes and a flower garland, with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace, follows on the mat. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, ornate gold necklace, orange clothing and rudraksha cues are consistent with the page's identification of a walking ceremonial figure.2012-04-27 +1 copiesOutdoor temple courtyard with palm trees and grey stone deity murtis behind a tall copper lamp post.
