May 02 20112011-05-02A framed portrait of a smiling man with long dark hair, a red bindi and orange saffron robes, raising one hand in blessing, is garlanded with white and red flower strands and set before a bronze deity murti with a green silk cloth draped beneath. Brass oil lamps and yellow and purple flower garlands frame the altar; a banyan-root backdrop appears behind the frame. No physical people are visible. The framed photograph appears to be a depiction of Swamiji (probable) based on the long hair, saffron robe and orange garments, and the page's printed title names him.2007-09-30July 28 20082008-07-282005 - inauguration of a center in Kitchipalayam - Salem +1 copiesA large framed photograph on an altar shows a seated young man with long dark hair, bare-chested, wearing an orange saffron cloth draped over his shoulder and a long rudraksha mala with a pendant, hands raised in a gesture of greeting in front of gnarled banyan roots. The framed picture is set on a white-draped table heaped with pink and yellow flower petals and red blossoms. A small framed image of a deity murti sits at the lower left of the altar, beside a brass oil lamp with a lit flame on a tall stand, and candles and a microphone stand appear at the sides. The setting is an indoor hall with a polished red-brown wall.A smiling man with long, swept-back black hair and a red kumkum dot on his forehead, with white vibhuti lines, wears white and gold ceremonial clothing. He is draped in large garlands of white jasmine with red roses and yellow marigolds, and wears a gold necklace over rudraksha malas. Behind him is a backdrop of red, yellow and magenta flower arrangements, with ornate gold carving at the top. Several cues including the long hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace suggest a Swamiji (probable) receiving honour at the event, though the face is partly turned and the appearance is not fully certain.2009-01-01Close-up photograph of a smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead, his hands pressed to his chest.
