The man on the left, bare-shouldered in rust-orange cloth with a gold bead necklace and white and orange forehead markings, smiles broadly and holds the shoulder of the man on the right. The man on the right wears an orange-peach knitted cap, thin-framed glasses and a bright orange shawl over orange robes, and bends slightly forward.

A photograph taken indoors in a plain room with pale lilac walls, a beige sofa and a red curtain by a window. A man with long dark hair, a white tilak and a red bindi, wearing a rust-brown dhoti and shawl with a heavy gold ceremonial necklace, smiles broadly while holding the arm of an older man in a saffron-orange robe, glasses and a peach-coloured head covering. The older man bows slightly forward, and the younger man holds a gold-coloured object in his other hand. Two people are visible in the scene.2013-02-09February 07 20132013-02-07A standing man in a rust-orange dhoti with a gold-edged wrap and a long gold-bead necklace leans forward and places his hand on the head of a bald, kneeling man in an orange robe and orange shawl. The kneeling man has his palms pressed together in namaste and his head bowed. They are seated in a plain room with cream sofas, a white wall and a low wooden table holding a small book, steel tumblers and a bowl.

A younger man with long swept-back dark hair, a gold necklace and rudraksha mala, wearing an orange shawl and dhoti with a yellow border, reaches to hand a small white packet wrapped in a grey shawl to an elderly bearded man in an orange turban and orange robes who bends forward. Appearance-based candidate: a person, the younger man, shown in the act of giving. The elderly man is a devotee or sannyasi. A partial magazine cover is visible at the lower right.2013-02-07Photograph of two men in a plain lavender-grey room with a cream cloth-draped couch below. On the left, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and gold necklace, and a rust-brown dhoti and shawl, is raising an orange cloth high over the head of a smiling bald man on the right, who wears an orange robe, an orange-pink head covering, and holds his hands clasped in front. Both are laughing. The left man's distinctive long hair, ornate gold necklace and rudraksha beads match the appearance-based a person cues, while the right man is a devotee receiving the cloth.2013-02-07A photograph of two men standing and clasping hands, smiling, in front of a plain grey wall with beige cushioned seating at the bottom edge. The man on the left is bare-chested apart from a rust-orange wrap, wears a heavy multi-strand gold necklace with bead ornaments, has a white forehead band with a red dot, and has long dark hair swept back. The man on the right wears an orange shawl over orange robes, a pink knitted cap with a red mark on the forehead, and a beaded necklace. Both are smiling warmly.2013-02-07February 09 20132013-02-09A photograph of two men seated indoors against a plain grey wall, with a cream cushioned seat beside them.

The man on the right wears a bright orange shawl draped over his shoulders and a coral-pink knitted cap, and is smiling. Both are smiling, in a warm exchange.2013-02-07February 14 20132013-02-14February 07 20132013-02-07Two men stand indoors in a plain room with white sofas and a grey wall. The man on the left, bare-chested with an orange-brown dhoti and shawl, wears a heavy gold necklace with large gold beads and smiles broadly, with white and red tilak marks on his forehead. The man on the right, wearing an orange cap, orange robe and orange shawl, bows with palms pressed together in namaste while holding a black ritual kalasha-like pot. Swamiji (probable) appears as the bare-chested man with the gold necklace, given the long swept-back hair and ornate gold adornments and the page's reference to him.2013-02-09February 08 20132013-02-08
