December 22 20112011-12-22December 22 20112011-12-22Outdoor photograph beneath tall trees and leafy branches. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a tilak and red bindi on his forehead, wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a thick orange rudraksha mala and a heavy gold bead necklace, plus gold bangles and orange-gold armbands. He walks forward with a serious expression. Behind him, a young girl in orange robes with a white tilak presses her palms together in namaste, holding a white-beaded mala, and another robed figure stands further back. A red-draped structure and blue fabric appear in the background. Several cues suggest Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, while the figure walks as a sannyasi in procession.2013-05-19A photograph of a walking procession on a paved brick courtyard. In the centre, a man with long dark swept-back hair wears a saffron-orange robe, a dark rudraksha mala necklace and a red bindi, and walks barefoot. To his left, a shaved-headed monk in orange robes with a maroon border and a pendant walks beside a bald monk in orange. On the right, a man in white dhoti with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala walks next to a woman in an orange sari with a green border. Devotees in white dhotis and onlookers stand in the background near green foliage and a small orange building, with a golden ceremonial staff visible at upper right.2011-10-07A smiling man with long dark hair stands outdoors in front of a stone wall and trees, wearing an orange saffron shawl with gold-edged border draped over his bare shoulder and a long strand of dark rudraksha beads. A red bindi is on his forehead and a white marking is visible. Behind him, several people in everyday and white clothing, including a woman in a cream sari with red border and a woman in a dark patterned sari, look on, some holding papers and phones. Probable Swamiji is presented in this appearance-based label given his saffron shawl, long hair and rudraksha mala, but this is not a confirmed identification.2012-04-01May 17 20132013-05-17A photograph of a group walking along a brick path beneath a large spreading tree with green foliage. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears an orange robe, a dark rudraksha mala, and a leopard-print shawl over one shoulder, and he has a red mark on his forehead; he appears to be the Swamiji (probable) given the long swept-back hair, the saffron robe, and the rudraksha mala, and is walking at the front of the group. Around him, several men and a woman in orange and saffron robes walk alongside, one holding a bag, while others wear white kurta-style shirts and striped or plain shirts.
