Two men stand side by side in front of a white wall and a framed black-and-white aerial photograph of a large temple complex with multiple gopurams and a city beyond it, resting on a metal-topped table. On the left, a smiling man with long dark hair, a red bindi, a rudraksha mala and an orange saffron robe stands with his hands clasped; his appearance matches the page's Swamiji cues of long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so he is a probable Swamiji. On the right, a bespectacled older man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds his hands at his sides, with an ID badge clipped to his pocket. Pink barred windows and a white plastic chair appear in the background.

January 12 20072007-01-12A photograph of an indoor office-like room with a glass-topped desk covered with books, a folder, a pen and stamps. A man in a white silk dhoti and shawl, with glasses and a wristwatch, holds out a gold-framed item to a seated person in an orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, who is smiling. The seated figure has long dark hair and is the presenter's counterpart in the exchange. To the left, two men in orange and white robes stand close, one holding a small notebook. Wooden cabinets and a blue window are in the background. The person in orange has the appearance associated with a person, seated and receiving the gift, with long swept hair, orange robe and rudraksha mala cues, but the identification is uncertain.2009-01-12Two men stand together before a white wall with a carved lattice-style pattern of small house-like window panels. On the left, a man in glasses and a cream-colored long-sleeved shirt raises his right arm and gestures toward the upper left. On the right, a long-haired man wearing an orange saffron-colored wrap over one shoulder, with a long strand of dark rudraksha beads around his neck, has a white marking on his forehead and a red dot at its center. He smiles and rests his right hand on his chest. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala are the visible cues.2008-08-03Photo of two men standing barefoot on a concrete floor under a thatched shelter with a white lattice wall behind them. On the left, a man in a pale yellow full-sleeved shirt and white dhoti with a pink-red border, wearing glasses, faces right. On the right, a long-haired man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe with gold borders and a long orange shawl wears a dark rudraksha mala and a tilak on his forehead, gesturing with one hand while speaking. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala match the page's claim; the appearance is consistent with that label. A blue plastic chair stands at left and a tree trunk at the edge.2008-08-03Three men stand smiling in front of a green-painted wooden door inside a room with pink walls and framed pictures. On the left, a bare-chested older man with a white tripundra forehead mark and white beaded necklace wears an orange-saffron cloth wrapped at the waist. In the centre, a man with a moustache wears a white shirt and white dhoti with a blue border. On the right, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace wears a long orange-saffron robe with hands clasped in front. Behind them are framed pictures, a peacock-feather fan, fruit on a low wooden table and a red-and-gold cloth draped over a chair. A portrait on the right is labelled with a caption in Tamil script. The right-hand figure has long swept-back hair, a crown-less gold necklace and orange robes, consistent with the appearance-based cues for Swamiji (probable).2008-10-15May 05 20152015-05-05December 19 20032003-12-19February 06 20102010-02-06A photograph of a seated man in orange-saffron robes with a long swept-back hairstyle, a red-brown headband, a heavy gold-bead necklace and gold earrings, smiling broadly on a gilded throne with a red cushion. Before him a man in white shirt and white dhoti with rudraksha malas holds up a framed gold-bordered picture of a saint in red headdress and garland, with printed Tamil text. Behind them a bald priest in orange robe and gold necklace, several men in white and onlookers stand in a stone-walled hall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's saffron robes, long hair, headband and gold beads match the presentation cues for Paramahamsa Nithyananda, shown receiving a gift.2012-05-12 +1 copiesJune 13 20102010-06-13A photograph in a small room with pale yellow walls and a tiled floor.
