Indoor photograph in a plain room with pale blue walls and barred windows. A figure in an orange saffron robe and orange turban, wearing a long rudraksha mala, sits seated on the left edge beside a bed with a white sheet. Three men in white shirts and white dhotis stand around him, one pointing, and an older man with white hair on the right is in white. A folded orange and gold cloth lies on the bed. The seated figure shows distinctive long hair under the turban and a rudraksha mala, but his face is not used for identification; the appearance cues are partial, so the figure is described by role as a seated sannyasi in saffron.

January 12 20072007-01-12A photograph in a plain blue-walled room with barred windows and a pale marble floor. A seated man in an orange robe and orange turban, with a rudraksha mala, smiles and gestures with raised hands while sitting on a low bed covered in a patterned cloth. In front of him, an older grey-haired man in white shirt and dhoti sits with palms pressed together in namaskar. Two men in white kneel to the right, one with hands folded and a garland of flowers beside him, and a standing man on the far right wears a long white robe with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala, hands clasped. Scattered flower petals lie on the floor. Since the page identifies the seated figure as Swamiji, and his appearance shows an orange turban, orange robes and a rudraksha mala, the seated man is a probable Swamiji (probable).2007-01-12Indoor photo in a plain white-walled room with a window of frosted glass panels and a wooden-framed bed at left. A long-haired person in a sleeveless orange robe with a draped orange wrap clasps hands with a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a gold border, who wears gold-rimmed glasses and a gold wristwatch. Behind them a man in a light shirt and trousers stands with hands folded, and at right a bearded man in a pale blue striped shirt looks on. The page describes a VIP meeting with delegates in Chennai. The orange-robed figure's appearance shows some cues but is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so a person is unsure.2010-02-14A seated figure in an orange saffron robe and matching orange turban, with long dark hair and a large white jasmine garland with red flowers, raises a hand in greeting on the right of the frame. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand and stoop in a hall with white walls and a colourful striped pillar. A man in a white shirt and black beaded mala leans forward with hand raised, while a figure in pale orange cloth sits at the far left. A small curly-haired child is in the lower foreground. A white draped chair or cushion is at right, and a framed picture hangs at the top.2007-02-06January 12 20072007-01-12Indoor photograph in a white-walled hall with a dark red curtain behind. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long orange-and-cream flower garland sits on a white cushioned seat with a red pillow, holding a banana-like offering toward a standing man in white ritual clothes with an orange shawl over his shoulder, who is bald and barefoot and bows slightly. Around them stand several men in white shirts, beige trousers and a maroon shirt, watching and smiling, with a tall figure in a white dhoti and yellow-trimmed top in the background. The seated person has long swept-back hair and distinctive saffron robes and garland cues, so the appearance-based label applies, while the ritual context is a devotee offering fruit at a seat.2010-07-22Four men stand posed together in a plain room with cream walls, a white bed at left and a wooden chair. The man second from left wears a long sleeveless saffron-orange wrap, has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and a bright smile, with hands clasped in front; the cues are distinctive enough for a probable Swamiji (probable) identification, placed in an in-person meeting setting. The man at left wears a white shirt, light trousers and a black belt. The man third from left wears a white shirt, white dhoti with a gold border, dark glasses and a gold wristwatch. The man at right wears a light blue shirt, dark trousers and a wristwatch, with a red thread on his wrist. A window with frosted panes is behind them.2010-02-14Indoor photo in a plain white-walled room with a barred window at left.

Around him, older men in white shirts and trousers stand close, one wearing eyeglasses and a watch, and a woman in glasses and a grey top stands at the left edge. Several people are visible in the background, and a man in glasses sits at the right edge.2007-01-12January 02 20122012-01-02A photograph of an indoor room visit. A long-haired figure in a sleeveless orange robe sits on a white-covered bed, smiling, with a partially visible person in orange in the lower-left foreground beside a red box of bangles.
