A black stone deity murti with multiple arms sits within an ornate silver arch set above a red-painted mound of stones, with a coiled serpent carved along its base and a shivalinga-like stone with a red mark in front. A person in an orange robe with a multicoloured flower garland and an orange head wrap bends forward at the shrine, while another person in white lies prone on the ground in front of the serpent base. Two people in white clothing stand in the background, and a figure in an orange garment is partly visible at the lower left.2005-12-31A photograph at an outdoor temple grove under a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. In the foreground a woman in a maroon sari with a white flower garland and gold jewellery stands beside a black stone shivalingam garlanded with flowers. To the right a dark statue of a seated deity in green and orange dress wears an orange crown, flower garlands and a long pearl-like garland. Behind them several people in saffron and orange robes walk along a railed path, and a man in a white kurta stands near the centre. A carved shrine arch frames the statue.2015-02-05June 30 20132013-06-30Outdoor temple scene under dense green trees. At left, a deity murti in a white arched niche with an orange curtain, draped in garlands, sits on a black pedestal before a mound of red powder and a snake-shaped black border. A standing man at right wears a bare upper torso with layered gold-and-bead necklaces, a rudraksha-style mala, gold armbands, and an orange-and-gold dhoti, hands folded in anjali. Behind him, several people in orange robes stand along a path. Red and pink mats lie on the stone floor.2013-07-20Outdoors under a dense canopy of trees and hanging aerial roots, a man in saffron-brown robes and a long red-and-white flower garland stands before a golden deity murti seated on a golden pedestal, holding a metal tray with lamps and offerings. He has long swept-back dark hair, a crescent ornament on his head, gold armbands and bangles. The deity wears a red robe, a gold crown, a long necklace and holds a staff, and is decorated with yellow and red garlands. White cloth bundles and a black stone naga-like snake sculpture sit at its base. Behind, a cameraman films and others watch near a metal railing. The man has long swept-back hair, a crescent ornament, rudraksha-style red beads and gold armbands; this appearance is consistent with the probable Swamiji cues, so he is labelled as a probable Swamiji candidate in person.2016-07-19February 05 20152015-02-05July 19 20162016-07-19Outdoor photo of a person in a rust-orange turban and rust-orange wrap, with a long white and red flower garland and a dark braided tail of hair, standing with an arm extended toward a black stone deity murti under a green fabric backdrop and a carved white arch.
