The central figure, a person in an orange garment with a long yellow and magenta flower garland, raises a hand in greeting; a long staff or stick rises behind them. Others on the steps raise arms and clap, and a crowd of onlookers in orange and white stands above on the temple-side stairs. The image is washed out and overexposed.2013-02-13January 28 20102010-01-28February 12 20132013-02-12 +1 copiesA group of devotees walks along a gravel path lined with green grass and a small tree at upper right, under an overcast sky. In the centre, a man in an orange robe with a bun of hair, a rudraksha mala and a white shawl walks with palms pressed together in anjali, a person by appearance, though the cues are limited to the bun, rudraksha mala and robe. Beside him, a bald man in an orange robe carries a backpack and a small satchel. Around them, people in orange shawls and saffron or white clothing walk along, and one woman carries a red basket. The setting suggests a pilgrimage walk.2011-07-31 +1 copiesA procession walks through a long covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and exposed steel trusses. In front, a shaved-headed man in orange robes with a red-edged cloth and a gold chain carries a garland of yellow, white, red and purple flowers. Beside him, a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a gold necklace wears an orange robe with red borders. Behind them, devotees in orange, red and saffron robes and women in cream saris with yellow shawls follow barefoot, some with gold necklaces and garlands. Several people are visible in the background.2010-01-08A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban walks through a tented area with hands pressed together in greeting. He wears large layered rudraksha-style beads and a gold pendant necklace and carries a small orange shoulder bag. A yellow ceremonial umbrella with fringed edging is held above him. Seated devotees in orange and white line the sides of the tent, and a cameraman in white filming on the right records the scene. A probable Swamiji candidate is visible by his saffron attire, orange turban, layered beads and gold pendant; he is shown walking in a ceremonial procession with the umbrella and devotees.2016-04-23A photograph of a figure in a street lined with carved wooden-balconied brick buildings and a wet stone pavement. The central figure wears an orange-red turban with a gold ornament, an orange-red shawl draped over the head and shoulders, an orange saffron dhoti with a gold border, and a long rudraksha-style necklace with gold ornaments; they raise a hand in greeting and smile. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, a crown-like turban, saffron ceremonial clothing and ornate gold neck adornments, consistent with the page's claim. Around them, an older man in white kurta and brown vest with a rudraksha mala, a man in a cap, men in jackets and striped shirts, and others walk along the street. Several people are visible in the scene.2011-07-27A photograph of a crowd outdoors in front of a pale building with green-shuttered windows. At centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and a long garland of beads, with a red bindi on his forehead. Beside him, a companion in saffron wears a bead mala and a red mark, and several shaved-headed men in saffron and white clothing stand among the crowd. A photographer with a camera is visible in the background. The central figure's appearance, long hair, saffron clothing and beaded garlands are consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, a probable match based on these cues.2010-12-29
