A seated figure with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe draped over the shoulders and is heavily garlanded with pink and white flower garlands, sitting on a white-covered seat decorated with pink and yellow flowers. Several men and women in white and off-white attire stand around, one in a saffron-orange robe at right, with a man at left in white shirt and a rudraksha mala. Green oleander foliage and a white wall form the background.2009-02-15February 15 20092009-02-15Outdoor photo of a seated figure in an orange-red robe with long dark hair and a white-and-pink flower garland draped over the shoulders, smiling and raising one hand. In front, a man in white ritual clothes and eyeglasses bends forward to place a garland of red and white flowers and green leaves on the seated figure. Several men in white shirts and dhotis stand behind, some with hands reaching toward the seated figure, and scattered flower petals lie on the ground. The figure's appearance shows several cues such as long swept hair and an orange-saffron robe, but the page does not indicate a person at this event, so this is a person being honoured rather than an identified candidate. Orange and white garlands and a floral-patterned cloth are visible at the lower right.2009-02-15A photograph of a seated long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a white and orange flower garland, smiling while a man in white shirt and dhoti kneels and touches his feet near a low white wall. Behind, a younger man in an orange shawl holds a rudraksha-style mala and steps forward to assist. Another man in white stands nearby, and several onlookers peer over a wall with green oleander foliage. A purple cloth covers the seat. The seated figure shows distinctive long swept hair, saffron clothing and a flower garland; the page does not state a person was at this event, so identity is uncertain. Six or more people are visible in total, with several partially visible onlookers.2009-02-15Outdoor photo of a seated figure with long dark hair in an orange-red robe, wearing a white and orange-pink flower garland and a red bindi, seated on a purple-and-gold cloth. In front of them, a man in saffron-orange robes bows with a hand near his face. Around them, several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand and lean in, one bending forward with hands clasped, a man in a light shirt with a rudraksha mala at the left edge. Behind is a wall with a potted shrub and onlookers.2009-02-15A photograph of a person in an orange saffron robe with a long dark hair and a white and pink flower garland being embraced by a crowd outdoors beside a white wall and oleander shrubs. Around them, men in white shirts and dhotis, a man in orange clothing, and women in white and yellow saris with flowers in their hair press close, some with rudraksha malas. A white-haired older man in a striped shirt stands in the foreground, and a person's head is visible below, with pink flower petals and white cloth on the ground.2009-02-15A photograph of a procession on a dirt path beside a chain-link fence, with orange flags visible behind. A long-haired man in an orange saffron cloth and a long white garland with red flowers and a gold-bead mala stands at left, smiling, with his right hand raised near his side; the presentation cues include long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold-bead mala, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and white shirts with lanyards and rudraksha-style malas stand with hands folded in namaskar, one man bowing deeply. Another orange-robed figure stands at right edge and a person kneels at lower left. Yellow petals lie on the ground.2009-12-29Indoor photo of a padapuja-style ritual in a plain room with pale walls and a window grille.

A man in a white shirt and dhoti kneels at the front, placing marigold and yellow flower petals near his feet, while a man in a white shirt and dhoti wearing a black rudraksha mala gestures nearby. A figure in an orange robe with long curly hair stands at the left edge. Around them, a crowd of men and women in white dhotis, white saris and white shirts, plus one woman in a cream sari with gold ornaments, stand watching in the background.2009-08-08February 05 20092009-02-05A photograph of a central seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a long swept-back dark hair, a white and yellow vibhuti or tilak mark on the forehead, and a white jasmine garland with a green leaf garland draped over the shoulders. The figure wears a gold rudraksha-style necklace and holds a small yellow cloth bundle. Around them, several men in white dhotis and white shirts or saffron robes sit or stand, some clapping with hands folded, others reaching toward the seated figure. A man in an orange kurta with a white forehead mark bends forward at the left. An ornate metal gate stands behind the group, and a few onlookers with cameras are visible in the background. Six or more people are present, with the seated central figure's outfit and cues matching the page's description of a person, making this an appearance-based probable identification.2010-12-29September 21 20102010-09-21July 07 20092009-07-07
