Two saffron-robed men walk together outdoors past a whitewashed building with a barred window and potted flowering plants with red blooms. On the left, a man with long dark hair swept back wears a rust-red robe with gold-yellow borders, a long rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold bead necklace, and a red thread on his wrist. Beside him, a shaved-headed older man in a bright orange shawl and robe, with a vermilion tilak on his forehead, gestures with one hand as he talks. Several other monks and men in the background, including a man in a brown shirt, stand near the wall. The left man has distinctive long hair, ornate beads and rudraksha, so a probable Swamiji identification applies to him as the person with long hair and rudraksha malas; the older saffron-clad man is a sannyasi in a visible tilak and shawl.2014-03-14A group walks along a paved path lined with green foliage in a courtyard. In the centre, a man with long dark hair and a white-and-red flower garland wears an orange robe with gold border, carrying a rudraksha mala, and is walking beside an older man in a light orange shirt and dhoti with a white beard and glasses who gestures with open hands. Around them, men in white dhotis with orange shawls, and a man in orange robes with a red-and-gold border, walk along; a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl and lanyard stands at right. The scene reads as a procession through an ashram grounds.2008-08-03Outdoor photo on a paved path beside a cream-coloured building with arched windows and green foliage. A bald, bearded elder in saffron-orange robes and a draped orange shawl, with a rudraksha mala, gestures with an open hand toward a younger man. That younger man, with long dark hair swept back, wears a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl, a garland of white flowers and a rudraksha mala, and smiles with hands folded in front. Beside him stand a bald monk in red-and-gold robes with hands joined in greeting and a monk in saffron robes. Behind them, several men in saffron and white clothing and a few onlookers stand along the walkway.2014-03-14Outdoor courtyard scene beside a concrete staircase with a white-painted wall and green palm foliage. A long-haired young man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-trimmed cloth and a white flower garland stands center-right, facing an older man with white hair and glasses who wears a light orange shirt and orange dhoti and is barefoot. Around them, a crowd of devotees in orange and saffron shawls, white dhotis and kurtas stands on the path. Some wear rudraksha-style beads and mala necklaces, and one man in front has a gold bracelet. Several figures are partly visible at the edges.2008-08-03March 14 20142014-03-14March 14 20142014-03-14Outdoor photograph on a garden path lined with green shrubs and trees, with a pale building behind. A bald, bearded man in a loose orange-saffron shawl and garment walks forward in the foreground. Behind him a woman in a dark maroon-red sari wears a long beaded necklace of orange-yellow beads. Further back, several men in maroon-red robes, some wearing rudraksha malas, walk and a man in white stands at the right edge. Five to six physical people are visible.2014-03-14A procession on a red carpet along a tree-lined path beside a grey concrete-block wall. Several saffron-robed sannyasis walk together; a man in the front center wears a long saffron wrap and a rudraksha mala, with long swept-back dark hair and a smile, and holds hands with the monk beside him. Other monks in saffron wear orange turbans and rudraksha malas. In the background, a man in white with an orange shawl and white-clad attendants walk near colourful canopy umbrellas, and an older bespectacled man in an orange shawl with a rudraksha mala walks in the foreground. Banana leaves frame the right edge. The front-center man shows appearance cues associated with Swamiji (probable), with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas.2007-08-09March 14 20142014-03-14November 25 20092009-11-25September 24 20122012-09-24Outdoor courtyard scene at a temple area with a white-pillared arcade behind. In the centre, a man in a red-orange turban, orange-gold dhoti and shawl, a marigold and white flower garland, and rudraksha malas walks forward smiling, accompanied by saffron-robed attendants and an elderly man in pale orange robes with a white beard. Another saffron-clad attendant with a shaved head and rudraksha beads carries an orange bag. Men and women in white dhotis and saris stand in the background. The central figure shows probable Swamiji cues: a red-orange turban, garland and rudraksha malas, so he is identified as Swamiji (probable).2015-10-03
