Outdoor photo of a young sapling tree supported by wooden stakes, standing between two ornately carved gold-coloured arches in a temple-like courtyard. A figure in saffron/orange robes with a rudraksha-style mala and a long necklace stands beside the tree, with one hand touching the trunk. Behind the arches are dark stone deity sculptures draped in white cloth with coloured borders, and a red-and-white painted border wall. Green leaves fill the upper frame and a small smoke trail rises near a black stone platform on the right.

A man in an orange saffron garment with a rudraksha mala and bracelets stands at right, one hand raised to his head, beside a potted palm. Behind him are small shrines with a black Shiva lingam on a red-and-white painted base and a dark deity murti in an arched niche, surrounded by trees, dirt ground and scattered stones. The figure has long swept-back dark hair and distinctive saffron and rudraksha cues, so the appearance-based label applies: Swamiji (probable), in person.2011-11-10December 08 20112011-12-08December 08 20112011-12-08December 19 20112011-12-19December 21 20112011-12-21January 08 20102010-01-08Outdoor photo at a temple grounds in Tiruvannamalai with young trees supported by wooden poles and a white-and-red painted pillar.
