He wears multi-strand rudraksha malas with silver spacers across his chest and on his upper arm, has a red tilak on his forehead, and a small earpiece microphone is visible at his ear. The Swamiji (probable) identification rests on his presentation cues: swept-back hair, ornate red-and-gold cloth, and rudraksha malas with ceremonial silver accents.2011-11-07Photograph of a smiling man with short dark hair swept back, wearing a red kumkum dot and white vibhuti lines on his forehead.

He wears a white draped garment with a red-and-gold border over one shoulder, long rudraksha mala beads around his neck, and a matching rudraksha armband.

He wears a white dhoti-style cloth draped over his shoulder and bare upper torso, multiple strands of rudraksha malas, a red coral necklace with a gold pendant, and gold-and-rudraksha armlets. He has long dark hair swept back, a white sacred ash marking on his forehead and a red bindi. His expression is calm and he looks slightly to the side.
