Photograph inside an orange-walled temple shrine. A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead raises one hand in a blessing gesture, wearing an orange-brown saffron-toned sleeveless wrap and a long rudraksha mala. A small brass bowl stands on a stone ledge in the foreground, and a framed devotional picture of a deity with a trident hangs on the orange wall at right. A partially visible person in orange clothing holds a brass plate at far right. The man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate, given the page's stated attendance and the long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron clothing, while the wall-mounted print depicts a deity.

A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi stands in an orange temple corridor wearing a saffron-orange sleeveless wrap, a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, and holding a small bronze bowl in his hand. Behind him, a framed picture of a deity (appears to be Shiva with a crescent) hangs on the orange wall beside a notice board, and a person in an orange garment holding a fan is partially visible at the right edge. Swamiji (probable) based on the long hair, saffron wrap and rudraksha mala cues, shown in person during a temple puja setting.2013-05-30A photograph inside a temple with orange and red painted walls.

A smiling man with shoulder-length dark hair and a red bindi wears a rust-orange draped garment with a long rudraksha mala and a gold waist cloth, raising one hand in greeting while the other rests on his chest. Behind him a framed painting shows a seated deity with a trident. A woman in maroon and gold clothing with a hair clip stands at right, and a bronze bowl sits on the floor at left. A blue sign reads Silence please. Swamiji (probable): the man shows long hair, rudraksha mala and orange clothing in a temple setting, so this is an appearance-based label only.2013-05-30March 13 20132013-03-13A man with long dark hair stands in profile with his right hand raised to his brow in a salute-like gesture, gazing upward. He wears a rust-red sleeveless garment, a long layered rudraksha mala across his chest, a gold pendant necklace, a gold earring and rudraksha bracelets on his upper arms and wrist, with a red tilak on his forehead.

A central figure in a rust-orange wrap and a long orange-beaded garland with large gold beads and a silver serpent pendant raises one hand to his forehead in a gesture of reverence. His hair is long and swept back, with a red bindi and white tilak marks. Behind him, a man in orange with a white tilak presses his palms together, and young boys in orange robes with white headbands stand near a drum with a red cloth draped over it. On the left, brass vessels and a kalasha-style pot sit on a table beside a lit oil lamp. A painting of a blue-skinned deity seated with a trident hangs on the orange wall. The appearance-based cues for the central figure are long swept-back hair and orange ornate garlands, and the page marks him as present, so this is a person in a standing reverent pose at a satsang-style gathering.2013-05-13June 20 20132013-06-20January 17 20132013-01-17
