Outdoor photo of a tree-planting ceremony on bare earth in front of a white-walled compound with palm trees behind. A long-haired figure in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands barefoot near a potted sapling, with a bare-chested figure in orange cloth raising a hand beside them. Two women in orange saris hold a brass tray. A man in white shirt and mala and a woman in green sari stand with hands folded, and a man in white dhoti with gold border and bare chest stands at right. A white sack lies near the pot. The long-haired robed figure shows cues consistent with the page's a person reference, so the appearance is a probable match.

Outdoor photo of a planting ceremony on bare red earth. A central figure with long dark hair wears an orange saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and a bare chest, standing with hands joined beside a potted sapling. A woman in orange holds a brass tray, and a man in orange with a shaved head and mala stands at the right, while a man in white dhoti and shawl with a mala watches at left and a woman in a green sari with gold necklace stands nearby. Other devotees in colourful saris and shirts stand behind, a white sack lies by the pot, and a low wall and palm trees form the background. The central figure has distinctive long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha cues, consistent with the presence of Swamiji as a probable candidate, so the description notes this appearance-based label.
