He wears a rudraksha mala with a large ceremonial gold necklace and gold bangles, and has a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him is a large ornate gold throne with a tiger-striped cloth and maroon cushions, flanked by a gold trident and brass oil lamps on a painted sunset backdrop with palm trees. A red patterned rug covers the floor. The appearance of this figure matches several cues associated with a person, including the maroon robe, rudraksha mala, gold ornaments and throne setting, though identity is uncertain.2015-10-22October 22 20152015-10-22 +1 copiesA smiling man sits on an ornate gold throne with a gold canopy behind him, raising both arms overhead with palms open.

The wearer's appearance matches the page's Swamiji candidate through the maroon turban, rudraksha mala, ornate gold necklace and throne setting, so this is a probable identification.2015-10-22May 15 20152015-05-15October 16 20152015-10-16A photograph of a man standing barefoot in front of an ornate gold throne with a gold canopy, raising both open palms above his head with eyes closed and a broad smile. He wears a maroon turban with a red bindi, a maroon and gold-bordered robe, a red and yellow beaded garland, and a dark rudraksha-style mala. To the right stands a silver trident beside a potted green plant, and a red draped backdrop with a dreamy purple-blue image sits behind the throne. A photo of a person with a turban and saffron robes is recognized as a probable Swamiji by these cues: a crown-like turban, saffron/maroon clothing and rudraksha mala, sitting on a throne in an ceremonial setting, though this is an appearance-based label only.2015-07-03October 09 20152015-10-09June 06 20152015-06-06
