A bearded man with long, curly black hair and a red vibhuti or kumkum mark on his forehead stands outdoors in saffron-orange robes, holding a silver tray with a clear glass pot wrapped in white jasmine garland. A coconut and green leaves rest on top of the pot. Behind him are a silver SUV, palm trees, a concrete-block wall, and an orange flag at the top edge. The setting is a dusty ground. The man is a devotee or priest; his appearance shows long hair and saffron clothing but not distinctive enough cues to confirm the a person candidate.2009-10-15December 02 20092009-12-02December 18 20162016-12-18 +1 copiesOutdoor temple procession scene in bright daylight. In the foreground, a man in orange robes and a maroon shawl holds a silver kalasha decorated with marigolds, white flowers and mango leaves, topped with a yellow coconut. Beside him, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange robe, a long white garland with red and orange flowers, and a rudraksha mala, extending a hand toward the kalasha. Behind them, men in white dhotis and orange-clad attendants stand near a red and gold ceremonial umbrella and a tall gold-topped staff. Palm trees and a bus appear in the background.2008-12-25December 27 20092009-12-27July 07 20102010-07-07 +2 copiesA man with long dark hair and a full beard stands outdoors before a carved wooden pillar wrapped with white jasmine and red rose garlands. He wears a rust-red cloth over his shoulders, a long rudraksha mala draped across his chest, a gold chain, and a red tilak on his forehead. He holds a silver kalasha-style vessel and a silver spouted cup, one in each hand, while looking upward in a ritual gesture. Palm fronds and a blurred golden structure are behind him. The Swamiji (probable) cues are the long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-orange clothing, and the figure is physically present, so this is an in-person candidate. Behind him a camera and lighting equipment are visible at the right edge.2017-01-01July 02 20102010-07-02 +1 copiesDecember 23 20092009-12-23A smiling man with long dark hair and a full beard sits in a procession, wearing saffron-orange robes draped over his shoulders. He has a yellow tilak with a red dot on his forehead, a yellow marigold garland, and dark rudraksha mala beads and clear crystal beads around his neck. Behind him, a figure in orange robes holds a silver-coloured pole, and yellow flower petals are scattered in the air. A woman's gold bangle is visible at the left edge. The setting is an evening outdoor procession with blurred figures in white behind.2016-07-15 +1 copiesA smiling man with long, wavy black hair sits in an orange saffron garment with a rudraksha mala of brown beads draped over his chest. He wears a red kumkum dot on his forehead. Behind him is a brass plate of flower petals in red, yellow and white, and a brass lamp stand with a stone carved backdrop. The setting appears to be a temple-style ritual space.2010-07-01Close photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes and a draped orange shawl, wearing a heavy gold bead necklace and a red bindi with white tilak on his forehead. He looks down and reaches toward a bright golden vessel at the right edge, appearing to perform a ritual offering. Another orange-clad figure is partly visible at the lower right, and the background is dark. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back curly hair, saffron robes and gold bead necklace, shown performing a ritual with a golden vessel.2010-02-12
