Indoor photograph in a plain white-walled room with a ceiling fan and fluorescent light. A long-haired man in an orange cloth and beaded mala, his hands pressed together, bows his head low while a white-clad man in front of him leans in and holds a green-and-gold embroidered shawl across his back. Around them, several men in white shirts and white dhotis, some wearing orange scarves and rudraksha or beaded necklaces, look on; a man in a cream shirt smiles at the center. Steel vessels and a dark cabinet stand along the left wall.

A man at the right in an orange robe with a red and gold garland stands near a red box holding fruit. A figure seated at the right in the foreground wears a yellow shawl and white clothing, with long dark hair, and a tall dark-haired figure in an orange robe stands at the far right.

A man in a light blue striped shirt bends forward, bowing his head over the clasped hands of a long-haired figure wearing an orange-saffron robe and a beaded rudraksha-style mala. The robed figure laughs broadly and extends both hands. Around them stand about a dozen men in white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, several wearing glasses, some with a pen in a shirt pocket and one with an ID badge, watching the greeting. The orange-robed person has a distinctive long swept-back hair and visible beads; the presenting cues match the page's a person claim but the face is not used for identification, so the appearance label is probable and the candidate is physically present.2007-01-12January 12 20072007-01-12A photograph of an indoor gathering against a plain white wall. A central figure with long dark curly hair and a rudraksha-style mala, wearing a saffron-orange robe, stands with palms pressed together in namaste, head bowed. Around them are devotees in white shirts and dhotis, a young man in white with an orange shawl standing behind, and women in saris with flowers in their hair, several with hands folded. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure in orange, based on the long curly hair, saffron robe and mala cues.2007-01-12A photograph inside a plain white-walled hall with a barred window and a few plastic chairs.
