A photograph of a single man standing barefoot in profile beside a large banyan tree with many aerial roots, on a circular raised stone platform with steps. He wears a loose orange saffron garment draped over one shoulder and wrapped around the lower body, and has long dark hair swept back and a tilak on his forehead. He stands with his hands clasped at his waist, facing the trunk in quiet devotion. Loose sticks lie on the earth in the platform, dappled sunlight falls across the ground, and a white wall and rocks are visible behind.

A strand of yellow and magenta marigold garland hangs on the left edge near the base of the tree. The setting is an open dusty courtyard with white walls and a few pillars in the background.

A dark hair knot is tied at the back of his head, a white tilak marks his forehead, and a beaded necklace is visible at his chest. His hands are clasped at his waist. A small floral rangoli is drawn on the stone near his feet, and dry sandy ground, rocks and a low white wall surround the tree.2011-01-21A barefoot man with long dark hair stands on bare earth beside a huge old banyan tree with thick grey trunks and many hanging aerial roots. He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and looks off to the side. A dark hollow opening sits at the base of the trunk behind him. Possible a person depiction: an orange-robed figure with long swept-back hair and a bare-footed ascetic presentation, but the face is too small and the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2006-04-19December 02 20092009-12-02A photograph of a long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe standing barefoot on a white-walled circular platform, leaning with one hand against the thick trunk of a large banyan tree with many aerial roots. A garland of yellow and purple flowers hangs on the trunk at left. Dry dirt ground and a white boundary wall are visible behind, with a small grey pole and a palm tree in the background. The figure has long dark hair and a thin gold necklace; the saffron robe and long hair are the appearance cues, and the page names Swamiji at this event but the face is not used. Swamiji (probable) in the sense of an appearance-based candidate with multiple cues: long swept hair, saffron clothing and a gold necklace.2010-02-12
