A man in profile stands barefoot on a red and blue patterned mat atop a low stone platform, his forehead pressed against the trunk of a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti with gold borders and an orange shawl draped over his left shoulder and bare chest, a gold bead necklace, and a white forehead mark. His eyes are closed and his long dark hair falls down his back. A small pale stone and a lamp-like object sit near his feet. A red boundary wall and gravel are visible behind him. The page does not state that a person is present, and the appearance is not a clear enough match to confirm identity, so this is a devotee in meditative prayer.

The figure has long dark hair and a thin gold necklace; the saffron robe and long hair are the appearance cues, and the page names Swamiji at this event but the face is not used. Swamiji (probable) in the sense of an appearance-based candidate with multiple cues: long swept hair, saffron clothing and a gold necklace.2010-02-12A photograph of a barefoot person standing beside a large banyan tree, leaning forward with forehead and cheek pressed against its trunk and eyes closed.

A small red and white mat lies on the ground at the base of the tree. Sunlit foliage forms a soft background. The posture suggests prayer or quiet reverence. The person's bare-shoulder, long-hair and orange-robe appearance is consistent with the appearance-based Swamiji (probable) cues, while the orange mala and gold-bordered wrap are distinctive; the identity is an appearance-based judgment only.2013-05-09 +1 copies
