A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe and a dark rudraksha mala with a wooden-beaded necklace, smiling broadly while holding a small gold-coloured handbell or ritual bell in his raised right hand. A red draped cloth forms the backdrop, and a bald man in white sits partly visible at the left edge. The smiling robed man is a probable Swamiji: he has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads. The bell and red backdrop suggest a satsang or puja setting.

Behind him are pink flowers and a pale backdrop.

He has long dark hair in a braid, a white vertical forehead mark with a red bindi, a wireless headset microphone, and an orange-saffron robe with a white flower garland and rudraksha mala.

A red tilak mark is on his forehead. He holds a metal instrument with a row of small bells or cymbals across his hands, like a hand-held sistrum. The shawl and long hair, together with the rudraksha mala, are cues consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is an appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated in person.2008-06-09July 08 20122012-07-08
