A photograph of a stage event with a large banner behind. A man in orange robes and an orange turban, with long dark hair and a beard, drapes a red-and-gold shawl with a gold border over an older man wearing a grey cap and glasses, who has a white flower garland. On the left, a young man in white kurta with an orange shawl holds a tray with fruit. Tamil text on the banner reads Paramahamsa and a second word. Appearance cues on the orange-robed figure (long hair, orange turban, orange robes) are present, but the identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and orange head wrap with a red-brown tilak on his forehead, stands at right and drapes a garland-adorned shawl over an older man. The older man wears glasses, a grey cap, a white garment and a red-and-gold shawl, and holds a basket of fruit wrapped in clear plastic; he is garlanded with white and red flowers. Behind them a large banner shows a lake landscape and Tamil script, with a portrait of a smiling man in orange head wrap and gold necklace at left. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired figure in saffron robe and orange head wrap, bearing a distinctive rudraksha-style bead strand, is the honouring person, and this is an appearance-based candidate only.2006-11-24November 24 20062006-11-24November 24 20062006-11-24A stage event with a large backdrop painting of a figure in an orange turban beside a Tamil banner. A man in white shirt and dhoti stands at left clapping. A man in a grey cap and white kurta-dhoti at centre holds a book or booklet together with an orange-robed sannyasi in a saffron turban and rudraksha mala, who stands at right with long hair and smiles. At far right, an older white-bearded man in orange robes with a gold-bordered dhoti holds the other end of the book. Red and white flowers decorate the stage edge.2006-11-24November 24 20062006-11-24November 17 20052005-11-17A stage event with a central figure in saffron-orange robes with gold border, a saffron head wrap, long hair and a gold-and-bead necklace, standing barefoot and gesturing toward a man in white on the left. To the right, a man with a white head bandage wears an orange-saffron robe and holds a stack of books, standing beside a table with flower garlands and a microphone. Behind them a white-draped throne-like backdrop and a yellow banner with Tamil text. On the left, men in white dhotis and orange cloth hold flower garlands and a tray. Petals scatter on the floor. The central figure's cues are saffron clothing, long hair and ornate necklace, so the label Swamiji (probable) applies to that person.2005-11-22
