He wears a rust-red saffron wrap draped over bare shoulders, with multiple strands of rudraksha beads and a long ornate gold-bead necklace, plus gold-and-beaded bracelets on his wrist and upper arm. A small gold earring is visible. The background shows a salmon-pink wall and a blurred person at the right edge. The distinctive long hair, saffron wrap, rudraksha malas and gold necklace are compatible with the page's Swamiji cues, so this is a probable identification of Swamiji in person, described by appearance only.2013-05-18A close photograph of a bare-shouldered man with long, swept-back black hair, wearing a white cloth draped over his body, rudraksha malas around his neck and wrist, and a white and red tilak on his forehead. He leans forward and reaches toward a silver ceremonial object at the right edge, looking down with a focused expression. A red curtain and a red floral arrangement sit in the background. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), shown with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial white clothing while performing a ritual action.2012-03-31March 17 20172017-03-17
