June 20 20122012-06-20 +1 copiesA photograph of a man in a blue and yellow checked shirt holding and pointing to a folded Tamil-language newspaper for a person in an orange-saffron cloth with a long swept-back hair, white vibhuti stripes across the forehead and a pink flower garland. The man in the checked shirt leans in to look at the newspaper while the garlanded figure smiles and holds the paper. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and shirts stand under a canopy with orange drapes and a patterned pillar. Swamiji (probable): the garlanded figure in orange clothing with long swept-back hair and vibhuti matches the page's claim of Swamiji present. Printed newspaper headlines are visible but unreadable at this size.2012-06-20 +1 copiesA photo of a saffron-robed man with long swept-back dark hair, a white vibhuti tripundra on his forehead, a pink flower garland and a gold necklace, holding open a Tamil newspaper.

Another saffron-clad shaven-headed man appears at right. Orange curtains and a tiled roof form the backdrop. The paper has a headline and photos of several people.

A bare-chested man in saffron-orange cloth, wearing a long swept-back dark hairstyle, a white tilak on his forehead, rudraksha beads and a large pink flower garland, stands on the right holding a printed newspaper-style sheet with his eyes lowered. Standing to the left, a man in a blue and yellow checked shirt with an ID badge looks at the paper, beside an older man in white with a white forehead mark. Other attendees in white and a shaved-head monk in saffron stand around. Cues suggest a person present in person, shown reading the printed sheet; the visible people appear to be devotees, attendees and monks.2012-06-20June 20 20122012-06-20 +1 copiesJune 20 20122012-06-20June 20 20122012-06-20 +1 copiesMay 22 20122012-05-22A photograph of a man in a blue-and-white checked shirt on the left, holding green-and-white papers, facing a bare-chested man on the right.
