Behind him stand frangipani trees, palms, a low whitewashed wall and green grass. He is seated in meditation or penance, with hands resting in his lap. No identifiable a person appearance cues are present, so he is described by role only as a seated meditator.2010-07-05July 05 20102010-07-05A photograph of a shaven-headed man seated cross-legged on a green mat on bare reddish earth, eyes closed, hands folded in his lap in meditation. He wears a white dhoti and white shawl edged with red borders, a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, a gold bangle on his wrist, and a small vertical mark on his forehead. Beside him smoke rises from a dying fire of grey ash and embers. Behind him stand green plumeria trees, a grey wall and a white bucket. The man is a devotee in meditation, with no visible throne or garlands; the appearance does not clearly match the page's a person claim, so identity is uncertain.2010-09-22A man in white kurta and pants sits cross-legged with eyes closed and hands folded in his lap, centred on a circle of pale ash around a bare sandy patch in an open outdoor yard. A small red mark is on his forehead. Two more people in white with yellow shawls sit in similar postures further back on the ground. To the right stands a row of small grey stone statues on a low ledge, with a palm grove, a thatched fence and a white building with a corrugated roof behind. Morning sunlight comes through the palms.2010-07-05July 05 20102010-07-05August 03 20102010-08-03A man sits cross-legged with eyes closed in meditation on a patch of grass inside a circle of white ash and charred wood, the ring of a fire pit.

He wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and a long rudraksha mala around his neck, with a red-orange tilak on his forehead, and his eyes are closed in meditation. Before him stands a brass kalasha-style vessel with a spout, set on a ring of decorated earth. Yellow marigold flowers are scattered around the circle, with green leaf motifs drawn in the sand. Behind him are coconut palms, a red-tiled building, and a row of dark stone figures. The scene suggests a morning satsang and pada puja setting. The man is a probable Swamiji candidate based on the long hair, saffron shawl and rudraksha mala.2010-11-02July 05 20102010-07-05July 05 20102010-07-05
