Close-up photo of a bearded man wearing a maroon head wrap, with long dark hair falling at the sides, white horizontal tripundra marks and a red vertical mark on his forehead. He wears a gold chain, a beaded rudraksha mala and a red-orange shawl over bare shoulders, and holds a gold ceremonial staff at the right edge. Behind him a large screen shows multiple red-tinted faces.2018-04-07A man in a red-orange saffron wrap and a red turban stands with eyes closed, holding a gold ceremonial staff with a crescent-topped head in his left hand and raising his right palm. He wears a gold necklace and dark rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, and has white horizontal tripundra marks with a red and black bindi on his forehead. Behind him, a large screen shows a red-tinted backdrop of multiple painted deity faces. The scene reads as a stage performance or ritual darshan. Appearance-based cues including the saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments are consistent with a person; this is a single person, identity uncertain from appearance alone.2018-04-07April 07 20182018-04-07 +1 copiesApril 07 20182018-04-07A close photograph of a man with long dreadlocks wrapped under a rust-red headwrap, with white horizontal tripundra lines and a red and black bindi on his forehead.

He wears a black head wrap or turban with a crown-like ornament, a white and red vertical tilak with a red bindu on the forehead, rudraksha bracelets on both arms, a rudraksha mala draped across the chest and a gold pendant necklace. Behind him a large backdrop shows many repeated painted faces of a Shiva-like deity in red, white and blue tones. Swamiji (probable): the figure matches the orange-red robes, trident, turban and rudraksha cues, and the page names him as present, but the image is a standing portrait-like figure against a backdrop with no direct event context.2018-04-07Close photograph of a smiling man in a dark red-orange wrap and turban-like headwrap, with white horizontal tripundra lines and a red and white forehead mark with a dark central bead. He wears a gold pendant necklace and dark rudraksha malas on the chest and wrists, raising one open palm in blessing while holding a gold trident (trishul) with his other hand at right. Behind him is a large backdrop of pink and red painted deity faces.2018-04-07Close photo of a bearded man in a red-orange turban with a silver crescent ornament, long dark braided hair, white horizontal tilak with a black-and-red bindu on his forehead, and a red-orange shawl with beaded edging. Layered rudraksha malas hang across his chest with jeweled pendants, a gold chain necklace is worn at the throat, and rudraksha bracelets are on his upper arms. He smiles toward the camera against a blurred pink and red backdrop of large painted or projected figures. Visible cues match the a person appearance profile: saffron-toned ornate clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, so he is noted as a probable in-person candidate.2018-04-07A lifelike figure in saffron-orange robes stands before a large backdrop of multiple repeated deity faces in pink and red tones. It wears a red headband, a white vertical tilak with a red bindi, a dark rudraksha armband, and a gold chain with a pendant, and holds a tall gold trident in its right hand. Its appearance and stillness suggest a wax or sculpted likeness rather than a living person, so it is treated as a depiction. No physical people are visible.2018-04-07
