Indoor photograph in a dim temple hall with ornate pillars. In the centre, a smiling person in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, wearing a long white flower garland and a gold necklace. Facing them, a bare-chested older man with grey hair wears a green checked lower cloth and also joins his palms. To the left, a man with long dark hair and an orange shawl bows with hands folded, while men in white shirts and white dhotis stand around, some with palms joined.

In the foreground a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a saffron turban, with white flower garlands on the head and shoulders, bare-chested in the lower frame, gestures with raised right hand toward a standing devotee in white shirt and trousers with a rudraksha mala and a name badge. A kneeling man in white with a rudraksha mala bends forward touching the floor near the seated figure's feet. Behind them a man in white plays a tambourine, and flower petals are scattered on the floor.2003-03-16A photograph taken indoors in a plain whitewashed room with a hanging umbrella and chain swings. In the centre, a smiling young man in a saffron-orange turban and saffron-orange robe wears a thick garland of white, yellow, pink and red flowers around his neck and sits on a white-covered table. Beside him, an older bespectacled man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a white beard, stands looking at him, and a younger man in white clothes stands behind. On the right, a woman in a green sari and other seated women in orange and blue saris watch. The orange robe and turban are the only visible cues for the central figure, and there is no clear basis to attribute him to a person, so the identity remains uncertain.A group of people walks barefoot across a pale stone-tiled hall of a temple, with dark stone pillars behind them. In the centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe and saffron turban wears a long pink and white flower garland and looks upward. Around him, men in plain white dhotis and shirts and one man in a blue lungi walk in a line, most with hands folded or at their sides. A shirtless man stands at the far right edge. Some white-clad men wear vertical sandalwood marks on the forehead. The scene appears to be a temple visit, and the central figure's saffron robe and garland make him a.2003-11-25A photograph taken at a temple pillared hall. A man with long dark hair and a white vibhuti line with a red mark on his forehead stands at the centre, wearing an orange saffron cloth wrap over his shoulders and body, a gold ornate pendant necklace, and a long garland of red flowers and white jasmine with green leaves draped from his neck to below his knees. Around him, a man in a white shirt and dhoti stands at left, and devotees in orange garments and green and white clothing crowd the background, with a young man in orange holding a pink cloth at right. Carved stone columns rise behind them. Swamiji (probable) based on the long hair, orange clothing and ornate garland cues.2009-08-06Photograph inside a dim temple hall with carved stone pillars and a sculpted figure on the right wall. A central figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban wears a long garland of white flowers and green leaves, and a gold pendant is visible at the chest; he walks forward with his head turned to the side. Around him, men and boys in white dhotis and white shirts, several wearing rudraksha malas and orange shawls, walk alongside. A bare-chested man in a brown-and-white dhoti walks at right, and a woman in a light sari stands at the edge. A blue cloth bag hangs from a man at left. The figure in orange has distinctive orange robes, turban and garland, so the appearance-based candidate is a person, walking in a temple procession with devotees and attendants.2007-08-17A photograph of a young man in a saffron-orange robe and matching saffron turban standing in a doorway of a whitewashed building with a pink granite pillar carved with a face. He wears a long garland of white flowers with red and yellow accents and smiles. Around him stand a man in a striped polo shirt with hands clasped, a boy in a blue shirt, a boy in white, an older man in white, and an older bald man in a pink checked shirt at right, with an older man clapping at the left edge. The scene appears to be a welcoming visit at a house.August 02 20082008-08-02Photograph of a group of seven men standing in a stone-walled doorway of an old temple-like building, with a lit lamp visible inside the doorway.

The central man wears a saffron-orange robe and a long garland of beads and a gold pendant, with a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair, and smiles toward the camera. Swamiji (probable): the central man in saffron robe with long hair, rudraksha-style beaded garland and ceremonial gold pendant matches the presentation cues, though this is an appearance-based label. The other men stand around him, some smiling, some with hands folded.2006-11-10Photograph inside a temple hall with dark stone pillars and a painted header band above. A central figure stands in a saffron-orange robe with a gold-bordered shawl, an orange turban, and a long white and pink flower garland with a gold chain, smiling and holding a small object in his hands. Seated men in white dhotis and shirts surround him on the floor, some with hands folded in namaskar, one holding a tray of offerings. Standing men in white and bare-chested priests in orange dhotis with sacred threads attend nearby, one holding a small brass vessel. Appearance-based candidate, a person: the central figure wears an orange turban, saffron robe, gold shawl and garland, consistent with the page's identification of a person as present at this event. Several people visible.2006-09-24A photograph of a central figure in a saffron-orange robe walking under a thatched roof canopy at a house visit, with a long strand of pink flower garland and a yellow flower necklace around his neck.

On the left, men in white dhotis and a woman with a red-orange shawl press their palms together in greeting, and on the right a man in white dhoti and shawl with a green border gestures with open hands.
