A man with long dreadlocked hair and a full beard, wearing a reddish-orange shawl draped over his shoulders and bare-chested, multiple strands of brown rudraksha malas, and a gold pendant, stands holding a small brass oil lamp with a lit flame while looking down toward a floral arrangement. A bright red-orange vertical mark is on his forehead and a red thread is tied on his wrist. Behind him are a gold ornate backdrop and a red throne-like seat. This appears to be a puja with an oil lamp offered before flowers. The man has distinctive long hair, rudraksha malas and saffron-orange clothing, so an appearance-based Swamiji (probable) label applies.

A smiling man with long dark hair wrapped high on his head and a rudraksha band across his forehead stands in a temple-like hall, holding a lit oil lamp in a brass lamp holder with his right hand and a small brass bell in his left. He wears a rust-brown unstitched cloth wrap draped over bare shoulders, with layered gold ceremonial necklaces, a gold temple-style pendant, a gold waist chain, and thick garlands of pink roses and white beaded flowers. Orange-robed people stand blurred in the background. The page labels this as a person at a May 31 2018 event with aarti and golden palanquin procession, but the cues here are a long swept-back hairstyle, rudraksha, gold jewellery and ceremonial garlands, which fit the candidate, so the presence is labelled probable.2018-05-31 +2 copiesMay 30 20182018-05-30December 19 20172017-12-19Close portrait of a bearded man with long dreadlocked hair swept back, a dark vertical tilak on his forehead, and layered brown rudraksha malas over a reddish-orange shawl draped over his bare shoulders.
