Close profile photo of a man with a large crown of rudraksha beads on his head, long dark hair, and white three-line tripundra with a painted red and black emblem on his forehead. His eyes are closed and he smiles while looking down toward a blurred, braided golden object at right against a dark background. The scene suggests a ceremonial or meditative moment. Swamiji (probable): the rudraksha crown, long hair and ornate ritual adornment match the candidate cues, so he is treated as a candidate in person.

White horizontal tripundra lines and a red and black vertical mark decorate his forehead. A large silver-toned object blurs in the background. The appearance is ascetic and Shiva-like, but the page does not establish his identity and no visible printed name identifies him, so this is a single unidentified devotee or performer rather than a confirmed a person.
