Photograph of a long-haired man in flowing saffron-orange robes and a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold armband, standing barefoot on an orange platform beside a golden ornate wooden structure, one hand resting on a pink cloth draped over its edge. Behind him, palm trees and a bamboo fence frame a courtyard where several people in white and pink, some with colored powder on their hands and clothes, mill about on a mat with a printed blue-and-purple runner. The scene suggests a festive outdoor gathering. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robes and gold bead necklace match the event's presentation, but the identification rests on appearance only.

Outdoor stage at a Dasara celebration. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange draped garment, a gold bead necklace and a gold bangle, stands barefoot on an orange-draped platform and points upward with one hand. Beside him is an ornate gold-leaf chair with a maroon cushion. Behind him a white-clad person holds a camera on a tripod, a pit with pink powder sits to the right, and palm trees, orange pennants and a coconut-leaf garland frame the scene. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair and orange clothing with gold beads suggest the Swamiji candidate, shown in person, speaking from the stage.2010-10-17October 17 20102010-10-17October 17 20102010-10-17A photograph of a procession outdoors under palm trees. A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a smile stands at centre in a saffron-orange robe with a large gold-and-bead ceremonial necklace, looking upward beside a fringed red-and-gold parasol held by a person in white. Behind him a table holds yellow and pink flower garlands and green leaves on metal trays. Two golden arched shrines hold orange-robed statues, one with a saffron turban and rudraksha-style beads, beside a white van. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a large gold necklace, which are consistent with the page's account of the Swamiji presence, though the identification rests only on those appearance cues. Two statues and a standing person in white are also visible.2006-12-23Outdoor photo of a procession on a dusty dirt road with palm trees and a parked silver vehicle behind.

He raises one open hand toward the sky beside a painted pillar with blue, red and white floral and bird motifs. Palm fronds and an orange building are behind him, and a few devotees in coloured clothing are partly visible at the bottom edge.
