A man with long swept-back dark hair stands outdoors among palm trees, wearing an orange saffron wrap with gold-bordered edges and a dark rudraksha mala around his neck. A small red tilak marks his forehead. He holds an orange rope with one hand and looks downward. A bald man in saffron clothing sits in the lower right corner, looking toward him. Yellow flower garlands hang at the left edge, and a carved stone base is visible at the bottom left. The appearance-based cues of long hair, saffron wrap and rudraksha mala match the Swamiji candidate, so this is labelled Swamiji (probable) as the person in orange holding the rope.

Close-up photo of a smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair, looking downward. He wears a bright orange saffron garment with a gold-bordered edge over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala with silver spacer beads across his chest, and a yellow-ochre and red tilak on his forehead. He grips a thick orange cord at the right edge of the frame, with a blurred bright sky and greenery behind him.

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.

A photograph taken from below against an overcast grey sky. A man with long, dark, swept-back hair in an orange saffron sleeveless robe with a draped orange shawl stands looking upward, both hands gripping an orange rope that rises out of the frame. He wears a long necklace of large gold-coloured beaded balls. A yellow flower garland edge appears at the lower left.

Photograph of a man standing outdoors against blurred palm fronds and greenery under bright daylight. He has long, dark, wavy hair swept back, a yellow and red forehead mark, and wears an orange saffron wrap with gold-bordered edges over orange garments, with a long dark rudraksha mala around his neck. His hands are folded at his waist and he gazes off to the side with a slight smile. A partially visible figure in white and gold clothing stands at the left edge of the frame. The person's appearance is consistent with the page's Swamiji reference (saffron clothing, long hair, rudraksha mala), so he is labelled Swamiji (probable).
