July 08 20122012-07-08A photograph of a smiling older man with a grey beard and long dark hair, seated and turned to one side. He wears horizontal white tilak lines and a red bindi on his forehead, a red silk shawl draped over his shoulders, an orange cloth at his waist, and a long necklace of wooden beads with a large round pendant. Earrings and a bangle are visible. The plain cream wall behind him is unadorned. Given the page's indication that a person was present at this event, the sitter has a long swept-back hairstyle, a shawl, a rudraksha-style mala and ceremonial ornaments, so the appearance-based label is a person, shown in person.2012-05-24Close-up photo of a bearded man in profile, smiling softly and looking off to the left. He has long dark hair swept back, a white horizontal tilak mark on his forehead, and a thin pink wrist thread. He wears an orange-red garment with a textured brown cord or mala visible at his shoulder. The background is a soft blurred pink-beige wall with a dim yellow light. Appearance cues are limited to a single figure in saffron clothing with a white forehead mark, so identity is uncertain and no identification is made.2018-03-28 +1 copiesApril 01 20082008-04-01November 10 20062006-11-10Close profile photograph of a bearded man with a dark vertical tilak mark on his forehead and dark hair pulled back, wearing rudraksha beads visible at the lower edge of the frame. The background is softly blurred in warm orange, red and green tones. Only one face and shoulder area are visible; no other people, statues or ritual objects appear in the frame.2018-05-30Close side-profile photograph of a bearded man with long dreadlocked hair, a white vertical mark on the forehead, and a rudraksha mala of brown beads at the lower left against an orange-brown robe. He faces right, eyes lowered and a faint smile, in front of a deep red curtain. a person is not established from the page alone; appearance cues are limited to hair, forehead marking, and orange-red clothing with rudraksha, and the subject's identity is uncertain.2018-03-28 +1 copiesA man with long, swept-back dark hair stands indoors in front of frosted glass windows, wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange wrap over the shoulders and a long double-strand necklace of dark rudraksha beads, with a red tilak on his forehead. A bare wall and a power outlet are visible at left. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas match the page's Swamiji-at-event note, so this is an in-person appearance-based candidate standing in a discourse-style setting. No other people are visible.2010-09-03A man with long, dark, wavy hair sits facing forward in an orange saffron robe with a white vertical mark on his forehead and a red dot at its centre. Behind him a framed portrait shows a smiling figure in orange with a garland, on a dark wall beside gold-toned frame edges. He looks slightly upward with a calm expression.2006-10-08 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated person in a room with a lace-curtained window at left. The person has long, dark, swept-back hair and wears an orange saffron wrap draped over the shoulders and body, with eyes closed. A white cloth lies behind them on a white chair, and a rudraksha mala with a round red-and-white decorative ornament hangs on the wall at right.2008-04-01A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron wrap seated in a cushioned armchair in a plain room with a white lace-curtained window. He wears a red forehead mark and gestures with one hand while speaking. Beside him hangs a rudraksha mala with a gold-toned ceremonial necklace and small orange flowers. A folded pink towel rests on his lap and a partial orange-clad figure is visible at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron wrap and rudraksha adornment suggest the Nithyananda Paramashivam candidate, seated and teaching.2008-04-01Close-up photograph of a bearded man with long dreadlocked hair and a dark vertical tilak mark on his forehead, wearing a rudraksha mala of large brown beads and an orange-red garment. He is looking down with a faint smile, lit from behind by a bright light against a blurred warm background. Appearance-based candidate for a person given the long swept hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-toned clothing, though the frame shows a single devotee-style close portrait with no visible ritual setting.2018-05-30
