Photograph on a misty riverbank at dawn, with a wide pale river and a small boat far out on the water. In the foreground, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a gold earring, a pearl-and-rudraksha style necklace and an orange cloth draped over his shoulder stands on the sand, with a gold armband, looking toward the river; the appearance cues are consistent with a person candidate. Beside him a man in a light blue shirt holds a small object near his chest. On the right, a man in an orange robe and orange shawl reaches toward a boat at the water's edge.2013-02-13February 13 20132013-02-13A seated figure in orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair, a white forehead marking, a pearl and bead necklace, a gold chain, and bangles sits cross-legged on a white cloth strewn with orange petals, gesturing with an open right hand while speaking. Swamiji (probable): long hair, orange clothing and beaded pearl necklaces mark this as the presiding figure, seated in a teaching or blessing posture on a boat deck by a river. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands with hands folded, holding a phone. On the right, an older man with grey hair wears an orange robe and shawl and stands watching. Two men in white shirts and a man in white dhoti stand behind on a boat with blue railings and marigold petals scattered; pale sky and water are visible.2013-02-13February 13 20132013-02-13June 02 20162016-06-02A dusk photograph on a sandy riverbank with moored wooden boats and long bamboo poles, a hazy river behind them and a stone building at right. Three saffron-clad men walk together in the foreground: the man at right wears a bright orange kurta and has long swept-back dark hair, with hands pressed together, while two shaved-headed men in dark maroon-brown robes with gold borders wear layered gold necklaces and beaded garlands. A group of onlookers in white shirts, a dhoti and saris stands to the left. One candidate matches cues of long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, so this is Swamiji (probable) walking along the ghat with his companions.2015-10-27January 19 20142014-01-19 +1 copiesFebruary 13 20132013-02-13A photograph taken from a stone stairway above the Ganges riverfront in Varanasi, looking down toward the water.
