Photograph of an indoor hallway in a venue with white walls and a black pole on the right. A man in an orange-red turban and orange-red robe walks forward, wearing a thick necklace of gold-coloured beads and a long rudraksha mala, with a bindi on his forehead. Beside him, a man in a white dhoti with gold border and a red-brown shawl walks with hands folded at his chest. A small sign reading No entry is on the door. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ornate beads are the qualifying cues for the orange-robed figure, who appears to be walking in procession. Two physical people are visible, with a partial third at the left edge.2015-12-23A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a tall swept-up dark hairstyle, a red bindi, and thick rudraksha mala necklaces with a gold pendant, standing with palms pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes closed. Behind him a shaven-headed man in an orange garment and rudraksha beads walks past a white wall beside a red-and-white 'No entry' sign. At left, men in white dhotis with gold borders and beaded necklaces stand near a doorway.

He wears a heavy multi-strand gold bead necklace with a large gold pendant, and a white sandal-paste tilak with a red dot on his forehead. Behind him, saffron-robed attendants move about, one at left holding folded orange cloth on a white-draped table. A golden throne with red cushions stands at right, and a laptop sits on a dark table. The appearance-based label is a person: he has distinctive ceremonial gold necklaces and ornate attire, and the page states he is present, but the cues are not conclusive.2012-01-09 +1 copiesDecember 23 20152015-12-23June 22 20122012-06-22A photograph of a man standing indoors beside a black tripod stand and a cable, in front of a cream wall with a wall-mounted lamp and teal door frames.
