May 24 20052005-05-24A photograph taken inside a bus, with a smiling man seated in the centre wearing a loose orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulder and torso. He has a red tilak dot on his forehead and white ash markings on his arms and face. He rests one bare foot on the seat and holds a metal handrail with one hand. To the left, a man with long hair and a white garment sits beside a seat, and at the right edge a person in a yellow-orange top is partly visible. Brown upholstered seats and bus windows fill the background.2008-01-17May 25 20052005-05-25Close-up photo inside a vehicle interior showing a man with long dark hair laughing broadly, with a red kumkum dot on his forehead. He wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over the shoulders and a dark rudraksha mala around the neck. Behind him a partially visible person in white clothing holds a vertical grab bar, and a purple curtain and window frame are visible. The appearance-based label Swamiji (probable) applies, based on the long hair, saffron shawl, rudraksha mala and kumkum cues.2007-07-02January 09 20082008-01-09July 31 20112011-07-31A photograph of an outdoor crowd scene. In the centre, a smiling man with long dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead and a saffron-orange shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaste. He wears a thick white flower garland with green bud accents and a long gold ceremonial necklace with a golden pendant. Around him, men in white shirts and dhotis and a few men in saffron robes stand close, some with red and white tilak marks. Bright daylight, green trees and a light sky appear behind the group. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a ceremonial gold necklace, consistent with the page's claim of his presence at this event.2008-07-29A seated figure in an orange saffron garment with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a red-draped couch, reaching out to a devotee in a red top at the front of a crowd. Behind the couch a fruit basket, a tray of offerings with vibhuti, kumkum and flowers, and printed pamphlets are arranged. Around them a dense crowd of men and women in white and cream clothes stands and watches. A standing young man in orange, a bald man in orange and a figure in orange stand in the background beside a curtained stage. The scene resembles a darshan and healing session.2008-03-25A photograph taken inside a vehicle with white seat covers and tinted sun shades on the windows. A smiling man with swept-back black hair, a white vibhuti marking on his forehead and a red kumkum bindi, wears a bare-chested orange saffron wrap. He sits with one arm resting on the seat rail and the other hand raised to his hair. Beside him a smiling woman with curly hair wears a white top and yellow-orange shawl, and white-clad people are partly visible at the left edge. Greenery shows through the window. Appearance-based label: a person, based on the orange wrap, swept hair and ash marking, seated in a vehicle with other devotees.2008-01-17May 09 20082008-05-09A photo taken inside a bus of a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, wearing saffron-orange robes draped over one shoulder and a long rudraksha mala hanging across his chest. He sits on a blue upholstered seat by a window, holding his crossed leg with one hand. Behind him, another person in orange clothing with a red mark on the forehead and glasses looks on. Through the window, green fields and a cow are visible.2008-01-03A man with long swept-back black hair sits on a grey bus seat beside a yellow handrail, eyes closed and hands resting on the seat back. He wears an orange saffron garment draped over the shoulders and a long rudraksha mala with a red bindi on his forehead. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala are visible cues, so this is a candidate seated in person on a bus trip.2008-01-09
