A man stands on a wooden swing, gripping two ropes overhead, in a garden setting with palm fronds and a carved wooden pillar at left. He wears a long white-and-cream floral garland, a dark brown-red wrap with gold-bordered edges, and a dark multi-strand rudraksha mala across his chest. A vermilion tilak marks his forehead, and a red-and-black wristband is on one wrist. Rose petals and green leaves lie on the ground, and a camera sits at the lower right. A printed Source runs vertically at right. The page flags a person appearance, but the figure's face and appearance are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is a sannyasi figure on a swing

He wears long garlands of white jasmine with yellow and red flower clusters, plus a rudraksha-style mala of gold-tipped beads across the chest.2014-10-05October 05 20142014-10-05A bearded man in a rust-red robe with a long brown rudraksha mala and a thick white-and-green jasmine garland stands outdoors beside a decorated wooden ratha or chariot with red and yellow flower garlands. He raises one arm to touch a ceremonial palm-frond or leafy bunch on the vehicle, while a second person in orange attire to the right holds a silver bowl. A video camera rig sits in the foreground and palm trees and a golden finial rise behind. The scene suggests a temple procession ritual.2016-09-26Outdoor photo of a man in saffron/orange robes with a long swept-back dark crown of hair, red and white flower garlands and a brown rudraksha mala, hoisting a white rope upward with both hands. Beside him stands an ornately carved brown temple-style pillar or kalasha wrapped in flower garlands with red blossoms and green leaves, under a palm-and-tree background. The scene reflects a dwajarohanam flag-hoisting at a temple.

He wears a tall, voluminous black hair crown topped with a gold ornament and has a red bindi on his forehead. Beside him is a decorated structure with a stepped copper-toned dome, draped with white and red flower garlands and a thatched bundle of straw with green mango leaves tied to its top. Green trees blur in the background. The man's distinctive crown, saffron clothing and rudraksha cues are consistent with a probable Swamiji presence, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) performing a ritual pulling action at the pole.2016-03-01 +1 copiesJanuary 01 20172017-01-01A man with a full dark beard and swept-back dark hair sits on a swing, gripping its ropes with both hands.
