A man in a saffron-orange shawl and a gold bead necklace holds a long orange rope overhead with both hands, beside a copper-coloured temple sculpture draped with yellow and purple marigold garlands and dried palm fronds. His forehead bears white and red tilak marks and his dark hair is loose. The setting appears to be a dwajarohanam or flag-hoisting rite, with the rope. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, loose long hair and gold beaded necklace match the page's claim, so he is labelled a probable Swamiji present in person.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair stands outdoors among palm trees, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with gold-trimmed borders and a long rudraksha mala around his neck. He holds an orange rope taut with both hands, looking upward beside a carved wooden structure decorated with yellow flower garlands and dry palm fronds. A vertical tilak marks his forehead. Appearance-based identification is probable for Swamiji, with cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, performing a ritual rope-pulling task beside a decorated ratha or chariot.
