At centre, a smiling man wears an orange turban, orange shawl and a long rudraksha mala, with a bare upper chest visible. Around him stand devotees in white kurta-style clothing, one woman in a red sari at the back, and others in light shirts and salwar. The man's orange and rudraksha cues are distinctive, though the setting is an ordinary group greeting, so identity remains uncertain. A small purple logo appears at the upper left.2003-04-11A circular-cropped photograph of a seated figure in an orange robe and orange turban, seen mostly from behind, wearing a long white flower garland and a gold-toned necklace. In front of him a white-clad older man with grey hair, glasses-free, wears a black rudraksha-style mala and a gold bangle, bending close and holding a yellow object near the seated figure's shoulder. Behind them a man in a white shirt with a black mala stands at left, and another orange-robed attendant stands at upper right. A tray of wrapped sweets sits on a table at right, and a dim evening setting with a small banana plant and string lights shows behind. The seated figure is an appearance-based Swamiji candidate with orange turban, gold necklace and long garland, so the identity is Swamiji (probable) as a person in the scene.2010-01-08
