A photo inside a temple corridor at night with a large carved stone sculpture of a figure with raised arms in the background and warm lamp light. A smiling man in the centre wears orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a heavy gold-beaded necklace, a gold crown-like headband and a forehead tilak; he gestures with his right hand. Around him are several men in orange robes with gold necklaces and rudraksha-style beads, a bald man with white forehead markings, and men in white dhotis behind. A candidate matching the page's Swamiji reference is visible with distinctive orange robes, gold ornaments and a crown, so this is an appearance-based probable identification: the smiling central man in the orange robes and gold necklace is Swamiji (probable), walking through the temple. Other men are devotees and attendants.2012-05-10September 17 20172017-09-17September 28 20172017-09-28February 21 20162016-02-21A procession scene with a central man wearing a long red-maroon robe, a thick red flower garland, and a long gold-bead necklace with a brown fiber shawl, holding a wooden staff and looking downward. Around him, sannyasis in red-maroon robes with black rudraksha malas and white vertical forehead tilaks stand close; one attendant at right wears a saffron-orange robe. Behind them a golden staff and ceremonial red drapery are visible. Several people are shown with forehead tilaks and garlands in what appears to be a ritual procession. The central man's appearance does not clearly establish an identity, so no identification is made from appearance alone.2014-11-26A smiling man in an orange-saffron dhoti-style wrap stands at the centre of a temple interior with cream and gold marbled walls and white carved door frames. He wears a red flower-bud headband, a red bindi, a multi-strand rudraksha mala with a white thread necklace, and a red-beaded bracelet on his raised arm. He has swept-back dark hair and is leaning slightly toward a shaved-headed man on the left, who reaches toward him. Behind him, a second man in orange garments and a rudraksha-beaded mala holds up beads, and a white-robed priest with a yellow sash stands at right. Several devotees in checked and striped shirts crowd the foreground. A gilded throne-like chair and a small shrine with a framed picture appear at left.2012-05-18September 28 20172017-09-28September 17 20172017-09-17October 15 20172017-10-15May 10 20122012-05-10A photograph of a procession at an outdoor evening event. A bare-chested young man in orange cloth holds a tall golden pole. At centre, a smiling man in a rust-red robe wears a long pink-and-white flower garland, a heavy gold necklace with pendant, a gold waist belt and gold armbands, with a vertical tilak on his forehead. Behind him a woman in a red head wrap and red sari, and a drummer in orange cloth, stand near a tall red, blue and gold ceremonial banner bearing a white bird emblem. Cameras are raised on the right. Physical people visible: roughly six to eight.2017-09-28May 07 20122012-05-07
