Beside him, a smiling sadhvi-style figure in orange robes and head covering, with a yellow marigold garland, touches the hands of a woman in orange and red sari bending forward at right. Other seated devotees and a standing man in a white shirt are behind them. The rust-red turban and rudraksha garland of the central figure are distinctive, but the page does not indicate his presence, so no identity is asserted.2016-04-22Photograph inside an orange-and-white tented pavilion at a Kumbh Mela event.

Facing him, a woman with dreadlocked hair and a white tilak on her forehead wears an orange shawl over orange robes and holds her hands together in respect.

Other saffron-clad sadhus with garlands are seated in the background under orange drapes.2016-04-22Outdoor satsang gathering under an orange tarpaulin canopy with bright sunlight. Foreground, an elderly bearded man in orange robes and an orange turban, wearing a garland of yellow-orange flowers and a rudraksha-style necklace, holds a folded white paper and extends his hand toward a younger man. That younger man sits smiling in a deep maroon-red turban and maroon-red wrap with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and ornate gold-beaded necklaces, and gestures with an open hand. Around them, many devotees in saffron-orange robes sit close together, and a white ceremonial staff with a curved top rises in the centre. The younger man has distinctive long hair, a maroon turban, and gold necklaces, consistent with the page's description, so this appearance-based candidate is labelled as probable Swamiji.2015-01-13Photograph of a procession under a striped canopy at an outdoor event.
