Some wear orange shawls and malas, and a few women wear white saris with gold borders. A red-painted low wall, banana leaves and pink garlands frame the scene, and a bamboo-like horn or instrument is visible at left.

July 24 20132013-07-24March 10 20132013-03-10Indoor hall photo of a figure in an orange turban, rust-orange robe with gold border and a long coral-beaded mala, reaching out to touch the heads of shaven-headed young boys in saffron robes. Behind them, men in white dhotis and devotees with palms pressed together stand along a barrier, and a red-curtained stage and framed picture are visible. The appearance of the central figure matches the a person candidate cues (turban, saffron-orange ornate clothing, mala), but identity is uncertain from appearance alone. A photographer's camera is at the right edge.2013-09-19February 11 20132013-02-11 +1 copiesOutdoor photograph of a large group of saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees gathered around a dark stone platform under trees. A central figure with long dark hair, bare-shouldered and wearing an orange wrap, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and ceremonial garlands, stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Around him, monks in orange dhotis with red-striped borders stand with hands folded, some holding trishul staffs and cameras. A few women in orange saris stand among them. Leafy trees and a purple flag appear in the background. Visible cues are long hair, ornate garlands and saffron clothing, and the page names Swamiji at this event, so the central figure is a probable Swamiji candidate.2013-03-10A photograph of a central man with closed eyes, hands pressed together in anjali, standing at a ceremony. He wears a rust-red dhoti and shawl, a gold ceremonial pendant on a rudraksha mala, a long garland of white flowers and red roses with green leaves, and a sandalwood tilak on his forehead. Around him stand devotees in orange and saffron robes, also with palms joined, several wearing rudraksha malas and tilak marks. A younger woman in rust-red robes stands at left. Brass oil lamps and flower offerings sit on the floor at lower left. The setting appears outdoors beneath trees. The central man is an appearance-based candidate with garland, rudraksha mala and gold pendant, but his face and frame are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the label is probable with uncertainty.2016-08-12Outdoor photo of a large crowd of saffron-robed devotees gathered under trees at an ashram. In the foreground, a man with long dark hair stands barefoot on a dark stone platform with palms pressed together in anjali, wearing an orange-red shawl over an orange dhoti and multiple strands of gold-and-white beaded garlands, with gold bangles on his arms.
