A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with maroon borders and a dark rudraksha mala, bows forward with his forehead touching the carved grey stone ledge of a temple-style structure. He stands barefoot on a leopard-print mat beside a gold-framed ornate panel. On the ledge sit a brass plate with red flowers or offerings, and small brass vessels. Behind him hang an orange drape and orange-red walls with white bands, under a corrugated roof with palm trees visible outside. The swami cues here are a long swept-back hairstyle, orange clothing and a rudraksha mala, which qualify as a probable appearance-based candidate, but the figure is bent away from the camera so the face is not visible.

Brass vessels, a kalasha-style pot, a brass lamp and small offering cups sit on the stone platform, and a leopard-print mat lies on the floor. Beside him stands a tall gilded arch frame and a wooden cabinet with a red cloth. A partially visible person in orange stands in the background. The figure's posture and dress suggest a devotee or sannyasi making an offering; the appearance is consistent with a candidate described on the page but not distinctive enough to confirm.2010-11-07A photograph of a person in an orange saffron dhoti and orange shawl bowing low with forehead touching the edge of a grey stone altar or platform.
