A grey pigeon sits in the foreground on a sandy ground surface, with its head turned toward the camera. Behind it, a person in an orange-saffron garment sits cross-legged on the ground near a low stone shrine with a carved bull (nandi) draped in a yellow-orange garland on a red base. Palm trees, a silver SUV, and tall decorative poles with red, yellow and blue ribbons stand in the background, with a few other people in white clothing at the edges. The figure is seated and facing away from the camera, and the seated person's face is not visible.

In the foreground a grey pigeon sits on the sandy ground. A figure in a saffron-orange robe kneels with hands folded in front of a dark stone Nandi bull statue draped with a white cloth and a marigold garland. Palm trees, a silver SUV, a small shrine with an orange-clad deity image, and a few people in white clothing stand in the background. The figure is kneeling at a distance and the features are not clearly visible, so the appearance-based identity is uncertain.2010-11-20November 20 20102010-11-20November 20 20102010-11-20Outdoor photo on a sandy ground beside a Nandi bull statue. A seated figure in orange-saffron robes and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a low wooden platform in meditation, with a pigeon in the foreground. Behind him, a red-orange pedestal supports a black Nandi bull statue draped in a white cloth and yellow-and-red marigold garlands. Dark stone deity murti stand on pedestals nearby, palm trees rise behind, a silver SUV is parked at left, and two colourful ceremonial banners hang from a metal pole at top. A blue cord and woven mat lie on the ground. The seated figure has long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, matching the saffron-robed teacher described on the page, so this is probable Swamiji.2010-11-20November 20 20102010-11-20November 20 20102010-11-20November 20 20102010-11-20November 20 20102010-11-20Outdoor photo of a dirt courtyard with palm trees and thatched huts. In the foreground a pigeon sits on the sand. On the right, a figure in orange saffron robes with long dark hair tied up sits cross-legged on a wooden seat near a parked silver SUV, apparently in meditation or prayer. To the left, a red-and-white striped platform holds a framed portrait of a saffron-clad person beside a black speaker, with a few seated people behind it. A white-clad person stands at the far right edge, and a stripe-painted pillar and pink building wall are visible behind.2010-11-20A seated man in saffron-orange robes, with long dark hair swept back and a dark rudraksha-style mala across his chest, sits cross-legged on a raised orange-cushioned seat on a dirt ground. A pigeon walks on a woven mat marked off by a blue rope in the foreground. Behind him stand stone deity murti statues, a large stone Nandi bull draped in a garland, and a red pedestal, with decorated hanging tassels on a pole. A silver SUV, palm trees and figures in white and pink clothing are in the background. Given the page's a person flag and the saffron clothing with long hair, the seated figure is a person in a ritual setting, here a pada puja or procession area.2010-11-20
