A photograph of a man standing in profile outdoors among leafy trees, looking upward with palms pressed together at his chest in namaskar. He has long, dark, wavy hair swept back and wears a rudraksha mala with gold beads around his neck, a red-orange upper cloth draped over one shoulder, a gold-banded white dhoti pleated at the front and a red lower cloth with gold border, plus a gold armlet and a gold bangle on his wrist. Behind him a low stone wall and blurred reddish building are visible. Given the appearance cues of long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and ornate saffron-red clothing, this is a probable Swamiji shown in prayer posture.

A standing man with long dark wavy hair and a small red bindi stands under a leafy canopy with palms pressed together at chest height. He wears a red-orange upper cloth draped over one shoulder, a white dhoti with gold border, a red dhoti-style lower wrap with gold edging, gold armlets and bangles, and a long mala of rudraksha-style beads with ornate gold-toned spacers. A bamboo pole with a gold base stands beside him, a gold-toned vessel is partly visible at the left edge, and a yellow-clad figure appears at the lower left. Behind him are greenery and a red pillar. The figure's appearance with long hair, saffron-toned clothing, mala and gold adornments is consistent with the page's reference, so the figure is a probable Swamiji in person.2011-10-27October 20 20112011-10-20October 24 20112011-10-24A photograph of a long-haired man with a red dot on his forehead, wearing a red draped garment with a gold collar and several strands of rudraksha and gold-bead malas on his chest and wrists and upper arms.
