A standing sannyasi in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban with a gold emblem raises one hand in greeting and holds a brass trident. A dark rudraksha mala hangs over the robes, and a cloth belt is tied at the waist. Behind him, a long line of multicoloured prayer flags flutters over a pile of stones beside a high-altitude plain under a bright blue sky with large white clouds and distant snowy mountains. The man is the only person visible. Appearance-based identity: the figure's saffron robes, orange turban, rudraksha mala and trident are consistent with the page's a person claim, but the face is too small and the image is not conclusive enough to confirm; described here as a sannyasi.

He wears orange robes with a shawl draped over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala, and a patterned leopard-print lower garment. He raises one hand in greeting and holds a golden trident staff. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of distinctive orange ceremonial dress, a turban, and rudraksha beads, so he is a candidate for the Swamiji identity in this photograph.2011-08-05A person in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban with a round gold ornament stands in a high-altitude valley, smiling and raising one hand in greeting while holding a sheer orange shawl. Multiple strands of rudraksha beads hang around the neck, with a red-and-white patterned sash at the waist. Behind is a snow-capped mountain, its pyramidal peak rising above rocky brown slopes, with green grassland and scattered stacked stones in the foreground under a blue sky with white clouds. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), identified by the orange turban, saffron robes, shawl and rudraksha malas, shown in person before the Kailash mountain.2011-08-06August 08 20112011-08-08August 05 20112011-08-05September 01 20112011-09-01A smiling person in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban with a round brooch waves with the right hand while holding a golden trident in the left.

Behind is a wide gravel plain with green grass patches, distant snow-capped mountains and a clear blue sky. The figure is the only visible person. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the candidate by appearance, with saffron robes, orange turban, rudraksha mala and trident as cues, shown in an outdoor Kailash Yatra setting.2011-08-05September 01 20112011-09-01A smiling man in saffron-orange clothing stands on a wide gravel and grass plain under a bright blue sky, with snow-dusted mountains behind him. He wears an orange turban with a round gold brooch, an orange shawl draped over his shoulder, a long rudraksha mala around his neck, and an orange dhoti with a leopard-print wrap at the waist. He raises one hand in greeting and holds a rudraksha mala draped over the other hand, with a small trident-shaped object visible near his head. A white bird flies at the right edge.
