His hair is swept back in a long style. The ground is dry earth with blurred greenery behind.

A standing man in maroon-red robes with orange-gold borders leans his head and right hand against the trunk of a large banyan tree with many aerial roots. He wears a long rust-orange beaded necklace with large gold bead pendants, a matching beaded armlet and bracelet, and a white tilak with a red dot on his forehead. His eyes are closed and he stands barefoot on a small folded patterned mat in a dusty, sunlit outdoor setting. Probable Swamiji cues include the long swept-back hair and ornate gold-bead necklace, shown in a calm, meditative pose beside the tree.2013-04-06A photograph of a barefoot person standing beside a large banyan tree, leaning forward with forehead and cheek pressed against its trunk and eyes closed. The person wears a sleeveless rust-orange wrap with broad gold borders, an orange beaded mala necklace, a gold bracelet and a small gold earring, with long dark hair swept back. 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 copiesA man in a rust-red sleeveless wrap with yellow-gold borders leans his head against a large grey banyan tree trunk with eyes closed.

Sunlit outdoor setting with red earth and blurred greenery behind him. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues here are an orange turban, orange robes, and rudraksha-style beaded malas, which are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is an in-person candidate whose identity is an appearance-based label only.2013-02-20May 01 20122012-05-01May 26 20132013-05-26 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02March 13 20132013-03-13November 07 20192019-11-07
