March 25 20202020-03-25A composite graphic with a dark starry cosmic background in brown and orange tones. A bare-chested man with closed eyes reclines against an ornate silver peetha or throne back with repoussé floral and figural designs. He wears a tall black turban-style headdress, white vertical tilak paste with a dark bindi, gold earrings, a multi-strand gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, and rudraksha beads on his wrist. Above him a white floral-decorated structure topped with a golden ornamental crest is set against the sky. The figure is a pictured image, not a physical person in the scene.2020-03-25 +1 copiesA composite graphic set against a dark starry cosmic background with a reddish nebula glow. In the lower left, a man with a tall black turban-style headwrap, white and black tilak on his forehead, gold-bead necklaces, bangles and earrings, and bare upper body raises one hand in a blessing gesture and smiles. Behind him is a silver ornately embossed panel. At upper right, a gilded carved sculpture of a coiled serpent rises above a pale stone pedestal. Because the page indicates a person is present, the figure is an appearance-based a person by his tall turban, ornate gold beads and bare-chested adornment, though the image is a collage rather than a direct photograph.2020-03-25 +1 copiesMarch 20 20202020-03-20 +1 copiesA digitally composited graphic on a dark star-field background with a glowing copper-brown nebula.

He wears a tall black hair crown decorated with a silver crescent moon and a small silver ornament, white vertical forehead markings with a central dark bindi, and a dense layered wardrobe of rudraksha beads in dark reddish-brown, a gold pendant, and matching beaded armbands. Behind him is an ornate silver-embossed throne with floral and scroll carvings. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated on the silver throne in ceremonial dress with rudraksha malas and crown cues.2020-04-14A bare-chested man with eyes closed and a faint smile stands before an ornate embossed silver panel decorated with floral scrolls and a lion-face motif. He wears a tall black turban-style crown of wound hair adorned with rudraksha beads, a white vertical tilak with a red bindi, and heavy gold-toned bead necklaces with a large carved gold pendant. Rudraksha and gold armlets encircle both upper arms. A blurred warm background surrounds him. The turban, rudraksha malas, gold ceremonial necklaces and bare-chested presentation are appearance cues consistent with the page's Swamiji label; the figure is standing in a ceremonial setting.2020-05-20 +1 copiesA bare-chested man with closed eyes sits before an ornate silver throne-like frame decorated with a lion-face motif, floral scrollwork and a small silver skull-and-serpent finial on the right. He wears a black turban, white vertical tilak stripes and a central dot on his forehead, a long gold chain of beads with a gold pendant, and rudraksha arm bands with gold bead accents. Behind him a framed deity murti surrounded by flowers is partly visible. Swamiji (probable): the long black turban, ceremonial gold necklaces and rudraksha adornments match the appearance cues, and the page places him at this event, so this is an in-person candidate.2020-03-25 +1 copies
