A barefoot man stands on a stone-edged paved area in front of a large banyan tree with dangling aerial roots and a low concrete wall behind him. He wears a bright orange silk dhoti and upper wrap with gold-bordered maroon edging, a gold bead necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a white and red tilak on his forehead. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders, and his hands are pressed together at his chest in an attitude of greeting while he looks upward and smiles. The palette is saffron, gold and maroon against the grey bark and ochre ground. The page title refers to a talk on the Bhagavad Gita, but no visible talk setting is shown beyond the outdoor stage.

He has long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead, and his hands rest near his waist. Behind him are trees, green foliage and a low pale wall on a dirt ground. Appearance-based label: a person, with qualifying cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold beads; the page indicates he is not at this event, so the candidate is shown in a single photograph.2011-09-08A man stands barefoot on a red and blue patterned mat under a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots. He wears a saffron-orange silk garment with a gold-and-red border draped over one shoulder, a long red and bronze rudraksha mala with a silver pendant, and red beaded armlets. He has long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi with white markings on his forehead. His hands are joined in front of his waist and his eyes are closed in a calm, meditative pose. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, long hair and rudraksha mala match the appearance cues the page associates with Swamiji, so this is an appearance-based candidate standing in person. A low white platform and a grey slab are visible beside him.2012-04-17July 17 20132013-07-17December 22 20112011-12-22A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi stands outdoors before large banyan tree trunks.
