A seated figure in orange sannyasi robes sits cross-legged on an orange cushion over a woven mat, facing away from the camera toward a circular ash-filled fire pit with a brass kalasha-style pot beside it. Long dark hair is gathered in a bun, and a dark rudraksha-style mala hangs at the neck. Behind him, several people in white clothes walk near an orange building, while a row of seated devotees sits on mats to the right, a man in a light blue shirt among them. Pale stone sculptures and a wall stand in the background under trees. The scene reads as an outdoor ritual or meditation session.

November 10 20102010-11-10 +1 copiesOutdoor photo of a seated figure in orange saffron robes and a long rudraksha mala, sitting cross-legged on a raised platform covered with an orange cushion and a woven mat, with a brass kalasha-style pot beside him on a rangoli-decorated circle of pink and white lines. A grey-stone bed of small pebbles surrounds the platform. Behind him a woven mat leads to a row of devotees in white clothes seated on a concrete ledge, with a pale-haired older man in a blue shirt among them. Orange-walled buildings, palm trees and a netted structure stand in the background, and a garland hangs on a pole at right. The seated figure has long dark hair swept back and a vertical tilak on the forehead, with eyes closed, appearing to meditate.2010-11-30November 13 20102010-11-13 +1 copiesOutdoor ashram courtyard with a seated figure in orange robes facing away from the camera, sitting on a mat and cushion inside a circular raised platform edged with white flowers, green leaves and a ring of white stones. A brass kalasha-style pot sits beside them. A line of devotees in white clothes sits along a raised platform at the right, with a man in a white dhoti walking across the sandy yard and a man in a white shirt and dark trousers in the middle distance. Orange-painted buildings, a marigold-garlanded pillar, a rangoli-style floral design on the ground and a red-and-white painted wall frame the scene. The orange-robed figure has long dark hair and appears to be meditating or in satsang, the seated figure is consistent with the 'a person' cue of long hair and saffron clothing, but the face is not visible so identity is uncertain.2010-10-31 +2 copiesJuly 23 20102010-07-23A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a low wooden platform in an outdoor courtyard, facing right with hands resting in his lap.

In front of him is a brass kalasha-style vessel on a circular raised patch of gravel. Behind him stand dark stone figures and a red-orange wall, with green foliage above. A marigold-and-rose garland hangs on a red pillar at left. Two blurred people in white are seen from behind in the foreground.

He wears a long black rudraksha mala, has a long swept-back dark hair and a tilak on his forehead, and sits within a ring of grey gravel edged with coloured rangoli-style patterns. Behind him are rows of grey stone statues, a red-orange building and green shrubs. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, so identity is treated as probable from appearance only.2011-02-18
