A man with a full dark beard and swept-back dark hair sits on a swing, gripping its ropes with both hands. He wears a deep red-brown saffron-toned robe, a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, and a heavy garland of white flowers draped over his shoulders. Beside him stands a carved wooden palanquin-like structure with a pointed domed top, decorated with white and red flower garlands and yellow marigold strings, and topped with a thatch of green leaves. Lush palm and tropical foliage fill the background, and a carved wooden frame is visible at upper right. The man's distinctive long hair, rudraksha mala, and saffron-coloured robe are consistent with a person presence, though the identification is uncertain.

A man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe stands outdoors beside an ornate wooden carved pillar-shrine decorated with white and yellow marigold garlands and red flower clusters, a kalasha-like top with palm-leaf thatch above. He raises one hand in blessing with eyes closed, wearing a long pale green-and-white flower garland around his neck and a dark brown rudraksha mala over the robe, with a red-and-black beaded bracelet on his wrist. Palm trees and a bamboo-like structure stand behind him, and a camera operator is visible at the right edge.

The person wears a long red garland of roses over the shoulders, a dark brown rudraksha mala, a silver bracelet, and has long dark dreadlocked hair with a small ornament; they smile and look to the side. Tall coconut palms and greenery fill the background under bright daylight. The person is in-person and appearance cues are present, but the face cannot establish identity, so the role is described as a sannyasi in maroon robes with rudraksha beads.2016-03-01January 01 20172017-01-01April 10 20162016-04-10
