A photograph of a single standing man in front of a large banyan tree with dense hanging aerial roots. He wears a saffron-orange draped garment with a gold-bordered hem, gold-toned beaded necklaces across his chest, and beaded bangles on his wrists. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders, he has a red-and-white tilak on his forehead, and his hands are pressed together at his chest in an anjali gesture. A low concrete wall and sandy ground lie in the foreground. The appearance is consistent with the Swamiji cues of long hair, saffron clothing and ornate necklaces, so this is a probable candidate, present in person.

A photograph of a single man standing outdoors with eyes closed and palms pressed together at chest level in anjali mudra. He wears an orange-brown ochre cloth draped over his body with a gold-coloured waist sash, a dense orange beaded mala with large gold bead spacers around his neck, gold bangles and gold armlets, and a red bindi and white tilak on his forehead. Behind him stand large, gnarled banyan tree trunks and aerial roots, and a cream stone bench sits at the lower left with a folded red and patterned cloth on it. The setting is reddish earth ground at dusk-like light. The person appears to be in meditation or prayer.

A man stands outdoors before a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots, the trunk and roots shadowed behind him. He wears a saffron-orange draped robe over one shoulder, a long beaded rudraksha-style mala and a gold necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a red tilak on his forehead. His hands are pressed together in front of his body as he gazes upward. A low stone platform edges the lower frame. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), in person, in a devotional posture with long swept-back hair and ornate saffron clothing.

A single man stands outdoors before a large banyan tree with thick, twisting aerial roots. He wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over his body, long strands of orange rudraksha beads, and a heavy ceremonial necklace of gold beads. Gold bangles adorn his upper arms and wrists. He has white tripundra markings on his forehead with a red dot at the center, long dark hair swept back, and small hoop earrings. His palms are pressed together at his chest in prayer and his eyes are closed in meditation. Dusty reddish ground and warm evening light surround him. The appearance cues (saffron cloth, rudraksha, gold ornaments, long hair) are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, a probable identification based on appearance.
