He wears a sleeveless orange garment with a red undershirt beneath and smiles while looking to the side. Behind him is a shrine niche framed by a painted colourful cloth with blue, red, green and yellow patterns, and a mango-leaf torana hangs above it. Inside the niche stands a deity murti with a gilded frame. A tall striped flag or umbrella-like banner stands to the right against the white wall, and a framed picture hangs on the wall.A man in orange sleeveless ceremonial robes and a long golden bead necklace stands beside a carved grey stone shrine with a relief figure and a brass tray on its ledge. He looks upward with his right hand pressed to his chest. Behind him are orange and red painted walls with white pillars and a red hanging cloth. A partially visible person in orange garments stands at the right edge. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. The shrine suggests a temple setting, possibly a devotional moment before a deity murti. a person: long swept-back dark hair and distinctive gold bead ornamentation in orange robes; the page names an event with him present, but the figure's appearance is only partly confirmed.2010-07-21Outdoor temple courtyard with palm trees and green foliage. In the centre, a barefoot man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap over his shoulders and a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, walking across a tiled area beside a red-and-white painted border. Behind him, men in white dhoti and shawls walk among small rows of ash-covered fire pits on the sand. Garlanded stone deity murtis and a Nandi-like bull stand in the background near an orange shrine structure with a tall kalasha, and a bald attendant in white dhoti stands at right.

He has long, swept-back dark hair, a red tilak mark on his forehead, and wears a long necklace of large gold beads and a gold-bordered orange shawl draped over one shoulder with the other shoulder bare. He looks downward with his hands held near his waist. Behind him a dark stone deity murti stands beside a white-draped figure against a reddish temple wall, with green foliage on the left. Swamiji (probable) cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a gold bead necklace, though the appearance is not fully certain.2011-09-15A photograph of a seated man in orange saffron robes with a long, swept-back hairstyle and a red bindi on his forehead, wearing a long rudraksha mala that hangs to his waist. He sits cross-legged on a white stone platform in an outdoor temple grounds setting. Behind him is a large white stone structure draped with yellow and magenta flower garlands, and a dark stone sculpture stands in the background among green palms. Dirt ground and grass lie in the foreground. A blurred figure occupies the lower right corner. The Swamiji candidate is shown with saffron robes, long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala, matching the page's reference to Swamiji at this event, so the identification is probable.2010-08-10 +1 copiesA photograph on a white-walled temple terrace under an overcast sky, with green trees and a white domed structure behind.
