Outdoor photo under a bright blue sky with palm trees at the edges. A man with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron robe stands smiling broadly, hands raised and open, with a white and blue-striped garland of flowers around his neck. Above him a large ornate pink and red parasol with fringed edges and a tall wooden pole is held over the crowd, and a row of saffron flags on white poles stands behind him. Hands of other people reach in from the right edge and the bottom of the frame, and the tops of several heads are visible in the foreground. The orange robe, long hair and garland are appearance cues consistent with Swamiji (probable), shown here as a candidate in person during a procession, with a parasol and saffron flags typical of a ceremonial outdoor event.

Outdoor photograph under a clear blue sky with palm trees and a row of orange flags on tall white poles. A man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron robe, a white and orange floral garland, and a rudraksha mala, laughs broadly with one hand raised in front of him. A large ornate umbrella with a white fringed canopy and red tassels stands at right, held by a hand in a white sleeve. Other heads are visible at the bottom edge of the frame.2006-12-25December 25 20062006-12-25December 25 20062006-12-25December 25 20072007-12-25December 25 20072007-12-25December 25 20072007-12-25A smiling man rides in a procession under a red canopy with tasseled fringe, beside a gold trident and a silver-embossed panel. He wears an orange saffron robe, a red headband with a peacock feather, a red tilak on his forehead, and a long garland of white and orange-red flowers with a gold bead mala. He appears to be a probable Swamiji candidate in the appearance-based sense, given his long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style beads and ceremonial garland, while the page identifies him as present at this event. Orange cloth hangs at the left edge and marigold garlands decorate the carriage frame.2007-12-25December 25 20072007-12-25A smiling man with long dark hair and a red headband stands on a procession vehicle beneath a large red umbrella with multicoloured tassels. He wears an orange saffron robe, a gold necklace with a cross-shaped pendant, and a long garland of white jasmine and red flowers, with a green leaf garland below. Behind him is an ornate silver canopy frame with embossed floral patterns, and orange flags flutter on the left against a blue sky and green trees. Swamiji (probable) is shown in an in-person procession setting, identified by long hair, a headband, saffron clothing, and ornate adornments.2007-12-25December 25 20062006-12-25December 25 20072007-12-25December 25 20072007-12-25
