A photograph of a single standing man in an orange-saffron dhoti and matching shoulder wrap with gold-coloured borders, leaning his body against a large banyan tree trunk with many hanging aerial roots. He wears a rudraksha mala, a gold armband and bangles, and has long dark hair swept back, with his eyes lowered in a quiet, devotional posture. Behind him are green trees and a brick wall, and light falls through the foliage onto the bark. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), in person, based on long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala.2011-11-09A man in saffron-orange draped robes with gold-cord trim stands barefoot with his forehead pressed against the trunk of a large banyan tree with aerial roots. His hair is tied in a topknot, he wears a gold bead necklace and gold armbands, and his hands are folded in prayer near his chest with eyes closed. The circular stone platform around the tree base and a red brick wall appear in the background.2011-12-17A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe with gold-coloured beaded trim, standing outdoors and leaning his forehead against the trunk of a large banyan-type tree with aerial roots. His eyes are closed and his hand rests on the bark, a gesture of reverence. He wears gold beaded necklaces and an armlet, and his hair is tied in a bun at the back of his head. The background is blurred greenery.2011-11-26A man in profile leans his head and cheek against the trunk of a large banyan tree with several thick aerial roots. He wears an orange saffron wrap over his shoulder, bare-chested, with rudraksha beads around his neck and a red thread visible near the trunk. His dark hair is tied in a bun at the back, and he has a light forehead mark. Sunlight and soft bokeh foliage fill the background.2011-11-08November 05 20112011-11-05A photograph of a man in profile leaning his head and forehead against the trunk of a large banyan-type tree with aerial roots. He has long, dark, swept-back hair, wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and bare upper body, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold ceremonial necklace, and a gold armlet on his upper arm. His eyes are closed and he appears to be in a moment of quiet devotion or meditation, with his right hand resting on the bark. Green foliage and soft blurred background surround him. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron shawl, rudraksha malas and gold adornments are the qualifying cues for this figure.2011-11-05November 02 20112011-11-02A photograph of a man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead leaning his head and folded hands against the trunk of a large banyan-type tree with aerial roots. He wears an orange saffron wrap draped over one shoulder, leaving the other shoulder bare, with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a beaded armlet. Several thin aerial roots and a grey stone slab sit beside him in a shaded outdoor setting. The figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and beaded adornments, consistent with a person presence, though the appearance is only partly clear from this angle.2011-10-16June 05 20112011-06-05A photograph of a person in an orange sleeveless robe standing beside a large banyan tree, face turned toward the trunk with eyes closed, one hand resting on the bark. Long dark hair falls over the shoulders, and beaded rudraksha-style malas hang from the wrist. Sandy ground and a low wall are visible in the background. The appearance shows long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and malas, which are cues for the a person candidate, so this is a probable in-person depiction, though the face is not clearly distinct enough to be certain.2008-01-17A man with long dark hair swept back and a rudraksha mala around his neck stands in profile with his eyes closed, forehead and one hand pressed against a large grey tree trunk among twisted aerial roots. He wears a bare-shouldered saffron-orange wrap and dhoti, with his shoulder and back exposed. Blurred green foliage and soft light fill the background.2011-02-05February 05 20112011-02-05
