Photograph taken at night outdoors against dark foliage. A man with long dark swept-back hair, a red bindi on his forehead and white markings on his face wears a thick garland of red and yellow flowers over saffron-orange robes, with a rudraksha-style mala and large gold ceremonial beads around his neck and a gold necklace. He holds a thin stick or wand at his chest. Behind him, a man in a white shirt and a man in a dark suit with glasses stand watching. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments match the page's Swamiji reference, so the central figure is labelled as a probable Swamiji in person.

A man in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe stands outdoors at night, his eyes lowered in a meditative expression. He wears a large garland of marigolds and red flowers over green leaves, a rudraksha mala with gold beads and gold necklaces, and a red bindi on his forehead. He holds a small white cord or stick near his chest. Behind him, several people in grey and white clothing stand among green foliage, one in a dark jacket on the right and a child in a pink top, with a green-leafed tree background.2013-04-03April 03 20132013-04-03April 03 20132013-04-03Photograph of a man walking at night against a dark background, head bowed and smiling slightly. He wears a plain brown-orange robe, a thick garland of yellow marigolds and red flowers with green leaves draped over his shoulders, and a long rudraksha mala with gold bead spacers and a gold pendant at the neck.

He wears a thick garland of red roses, yellow roses, white jasmine and green leaves, plus ornate gold necklaces, a brown-maroon cloth wrapped over the shoulder and a small gold earring. White sacred ash marks his forehead. Behind him, men in saffron-orange cloths and orange headwraps stand with hands folded or hold a flower tray at the lower left. Several bare-chested men in white dhoti-style cloths stand nearby. The distinctive long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces and garland match the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, shown in person.2017-09-02April 03 20132013-04-03Night outdoor photograph of a smiling man with shoulder-length dark hair and a red bindi, wearing a dark maroon-brown robe with a gold-coloured border and a thick garland of marigold-yellow and red flowers with green leaves. He wears a long necklace of golden beads and rudraksha-style brown beads, and his hands are held in front of him. Behind him at right, a person in dark clothing and a large round drum or percussion instrument are partly visible, with a few seated devotees and a tree at left against the dark sky. Swamiji (probable): the visible cues are the long hair, ornate gold and bead necklaces and garland, consistent with the page's identification of Paramahamsa Nithyananda at this satsang.2013-04-03April 03 20132013-04-03April 03 20132013-04-03
