A photograph taken indoors in a white-walled room with a dark wooden door frame and a decorative black-and-white border along the top. A barefoot man in a flowing saffron-orange robe and a rudraksha mala steps through the open double doorway toward the camera, smiling with his hands near his waist. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Two clay or terracotta figurines stand on either side of the door, one in plain tan and one in a red-and-white sari. Several other people in white and orange clothing stand in the corridor beyond. A long wooden ceiling and a dark polished floor are visible.

A man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe and a large pink-and-white garland around his neck, stands barefoot in the open doorway, smiling. Another man in white clothing stands partly behind him in the doorway. Swamiji (probable): the standing figure in saffron robe with long swept-back hair and a garland matches the candidate cues, and he is physically present, so the appearance-based label applies. Green leaves are visible through the outer doorway.2010-02-17November 09 20062006-11-09A photograph taken indoors in a plain room with pale grey walls and a wooden door on the left. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a red bindi smiles and gestures toward the doorway.

In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe with a white and red flower garland over his shoulders steps through an open wooden doorway, his arm extended toward a folded white cloth on a carved wooden screen. A second figure in orange stands behind him in the doorway area. On the left, a carved wooden partition is draped with white and yellow flower garlands, and a framed picture hangs on the wall above a shrine-like table decorated with marigolds and small brass ornaments. The man's long dark hair is swept back, and he wears a saffron robe and a garland; the candidate appearance is consistent with a person, with long swept-back hair, saffron robe and garland as cues, so the figure is marked as in_person with uncertainty.2010-01-10September 20 20062006-09-20September 29 20062006-09-29
