A photograph of a man with long swept-back dark hair, bare-chested except for a rust-brown wrap over his shoulder, standing in a corridor with orange and red painted walls. He wears a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a large gold pendant, rudraksha-style beaded bracelets on his arms and wrist, and a gold ring; he raises one hand to his brow in a gesture of greeting. Behind him a monastic figure in saffron-orange robes holds a brass plate, and a sign on the wall reads 'Silence please'. The cues of long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and rudraksha beads are consistent with a person in person, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

March 13 20132013-03-13Photograph in an orange-painted temple corridor. A smiling man with shoulder-length dark hair and a red bindi wears a rust-orange draped garment with a long rudraksha mala and a gold waist cloth, raising one hand in greeting while the other rests on his chest. Behind him a framed painting shows a seated deity with a trident. A woman in maroon and gold clothing with a hair clip stands at right, and a bronze bowl sits on the floor at left. A blue sign reads Silence please. Swamiji (probable): the man shows long hair, rudraksha mala and orange clothing in a temple setting, so this is an appearance-based label only.2013-05-30June 20 20132013-06-20A photograph of a smiling man with long, swept-back black hair, a red bindi and white vibhuti lines, standing bare-chested except for a rust-red shawl. He wears a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with ornate pendants over rudraksha-style beads, a gold armlet and small gold earring. Behind him a boy in a red garment and white forehead marking stands near a framed painting of a seated deity in meditation with a trident. A red drum with a white skin sits at left, and a blue sign reads 'Silence please' on the orange wall. Visible cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold garland and rudraksha-style beads on a rust shawl; this is an appearance-based probable candidate, shown as a physical person.2013-06-27March 13 20132013-03-13June 20 20132013-06-20March 13 20132013-03-13A man with long swept-back black hair and a red bindi on his forehead raises his right hand to his brow in a salute-like gesture while looking upward. He wears a rust-red saffron wrap draped over bare shoulders, with multiple strands of rudraksha beads and a long ornate gold-bead necklace, plus gold-and-beaded bracelets on his wrist and upper arm. A small gold earring is visible. The background shows a salmon-pink wall and a blurred person at the right edge. The distinctive long hair, saffron wrap, rudraksha malas and gold necklace are compatible with the page's Swamiji cues, so this is a probable identification of Swamiji in person, described by appearance only.2013-05-18A man stands in front of an orange-painted wall beside a white door with red trim, wearing a rust-brown sleeveless garment draped over one shoulder and a red-brown wrap across the other. He has a red tilak on his forehead, a small gold earring, and a thick necklace of large gold beads alternating with reddish-brown beaded strands, plus matching beaded armbands. He gazes off to the side. In the foreground a black metal bowl and pink flowers sit near a brass vessel. Behind him on the right hangs a framed picture of a seated deity murti with a trident, and a blue sign with Kannada text is mounted above.2013-06-20January 22 20132013-01-22April 25 20132013-04-25May 28 20132013-05-28
