His forehead bears white and red tilak marks and his dark hair is loose. The setting appears to be a dwajarohanam or flag-hoisting rite, with the rope. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, loose long hair and gold beaded necklace match the page's claim, so he is labelled a probable Swamiji present in person.2010-01-02 +1 copiesMarch 11 20132013-03-11A man in a red-orange dhoti and shawl stands beside an ornate terracotta-coloured shrine chariot, pulling a rope with both hands. He has long dark hair swept back, a red and white flower garland with a gold pendant, and gold bangles on his wrists and upper arm. Yellow marigold garlands drape the wooden pillars and carved panels of the shrine, and palm fronds are visible behind. Another person's head is partly visible at the lower right. The scene suggests a temple procession with a ratha being pulled.2012-04-23Photograph of a man standing outdoors before palm trees, wearing a rust-red sannyasi-style cloth draped over the shoulder and wrapped at the waist with a gold-bordered sash. He has a red bindi on his forehead and holds a rope swing with both hands. He wears long garlands of white jasmine with yellow and red flower clusters, plus a rudraksha-style mala of gold-tipped beads across the chest.2014-10-05July 03 20122012-07-03July 02 20132013-07-02October 05 20132013-10-05A photograph of a shirtless man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, wearing an orange saffron cloth draped over one shoulder and a garland of white jasmine and red flowers with gold ornaments.
