August 21 20062006-08-21April 02 20122012-04-02A photograph of a group walking through a temple interior at night. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair, a gold-and-bead necklace, gold armbands and an orange saffron garment with a gold border walks forward, appearing to speak. Probable Swamiji by appearance: long hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron clothing. Around him, several men wear saffron or orange robes with rudraksha malas, one in a white kurta with rudraksha beads, and a woman in a cream sari stands behind. Another man in a white kurta with rudraksha mala is at the right edge. A carved stone pillar and a metal rod are visible in the background.2012-04-11A photograph of an outdoor gathering on a stone-paved area with a white building behind. In the centre, a smiling man with long, dark, swept-back hair and a red tilak on his forehead wears a saffron-orange shawl over a sleeveless body. Beside him to the right, a younger man in a white kurta wears layered rudraksha malas and a small pendant, and holds a tall pole upright. Around them stand many devotees: a bearded man in a checked shirt with rudraksha mala, men in white and orange clothing, and an elderly white-bearded man at right. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and tilak on the central figure, with the page noting his presence at this event.2006-05-22A man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl edged in gold zari and a long rudraksha mala, walking outdoors past a white temple structure with an orange-flagged pole behind him. Two men stand nearby: one on the left in a red checked shirt with hands folded in namaste, one in white shirt and dhoti, and a man on the right in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, identified by the flowing long hair, saffron robes with gold border, and rudraksha mala cues. The white temple and flags suggest a temple setting.2012-04-02Outdoor procession scene on a paved path under blurred green trees. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange silk garment and multiple wooden rudraksha mala beads walks forward at centre, with a red-orange forehead mark and an upward gaze. Around him, several men in white shirts and white dhotis walk barefoot, and a man in an orange garment with a garland of white flowers appears at left edge. The image is motion-blurred. Visible physical people number about ten. The central man's saffron robe and rudraksha malas match the page's reference to a person-identified figure, so the appearance-based label is probable.2006-08-21August 21 20062006-08-21A dimly lit temple passage at night where a crowd walks forward. In the centre a man wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a multi-strand gold-beaded necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and has a sandalwood or vibhuti mark on his forehead; he is flanked by people in white kurtas with rudraksha malas, orange-clad attendants and a woman in a cream sari with gold border. A man in a white shirt and khaki trousers walks at left, and a lamp glows in the background.
