He has white ash markings and a red bindi on his forehead, and wears a gold bracelet and beaded wrist threads. Behind him, women in cream and gold-bordered saris and gold necklaces stand in a red-carpeted hall, with a potted plant and an air cooler at left. Appearance-based candidate: a person, based on the long dreadlocks, rudraksha mala and orange garment, shown in person embracing a devotee.2016-05-11May 11 20162016-05-11May 11 20162016-05-11May 11 20162016-05-11A photograph of an indoor event with a red carpet and a gold-carved throne-like seat at left. A man with long, matted dreadlocks and a white forehead mark, wearing a rust-orange wrap and a beaded brown-orange mala around his neck, embraces a man in white with an orange-red shawl and gold bangles. Behind them, a woman in an orange-bordered white sari with a long braid and other women in white and green saris stand near a green plant and a wall-mounted air conditioning unit. The scene is a darshan-style gathering.2016-05-11May 11 20162016-05-11May 11 20162016-05-11A warm embrace on a golden ceremonial seat before a deep red curtain. A man with swept-back dark wavy hair, bare-chested and wearing a rudraksha mala and saffron-orange cloth, smiles as he hugs a man in white clothes with glasses who leans his head onto his shoulder. A gold-carved armrest with a leopard-print cushion is at left, a white air conditioner unit behind them, and a seated woman in white with a tilak and red shawl watches at right. Visible appearance cues of the embracing man (long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, saffron cloth, ornate gold seat) match the page's claim, so the figure is a probable Swamiji (probable) receiving a devotee in an embrace.2016-04-02July 26 20172017-07-26
