Outdoors on a grassy, bushy site under a bright sky with clouds and distant hills. A central man with long dark hair, a red bindi and an orange saffron shawl over bare shoulders stands smiling, appearing to be a person candidate by his long swept-back hair and saffron clothing. To the left, a bald, grey-haired elder in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style mala faces him, while a man in white shirt and glasses stands behind. At the right edge, a man in orange robes raises a red-tipped measuring rod or staff overhead.

A long-haired man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a white tilak on his forehead smiles and holds his hands together at his waist, a person candidate by his long swept-back hair, orange clothing and rudraksha mala. Beside him a younger man in white kurta and dhoti wears an orange shawl and a small red bindi. On the right a shaven-headed monk in orange draped robes with a dark rudraksha mala stands with hands clasped. Several people in white garments and a dark-haired figure in the foreground are partly visible at the edges of the frame.2007-01-09August 09 20072007-08-09August 09 20072007-08-09A photograph of an outdoor gathering on a dirt ground beside palm trees and greenery, with red and white bunting strung in the background. A tall figure with long, swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange sleeveless robe and stands at right, facing a group. Opposite him, a shaved-headed man in an orange robe with a gold-bordered dhoti stands with his back partly turned, speaking. Other men stand around in orange, peach and white dhotis and shirts, including an older man in white with glasses at left and a man in a peach shawl and dhoti at centre. A woman in an orange sari stands at far right, and a person in a blue shirt is behind the group.2007-08-09April 01 20082008-04-01A seated man in orange saffron sleeveless robes and orange dhoti sits barefoot on a white concrete platform outdoors, smiling broadly with his hands gesturing forward. Behind him stands an older man with grey hair, a moustache, a white shirt and a rudraksha mala with a pendant, holding a black umbrella overhead. Marigold plants, a palm tree and a low breeze-block wall with a concrete trough are in the background.2008-06-22A long-haired man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe stands at a construction excavation site holding a tall wooden staff in his right hand, with a vertical red-and-white painted wall behind him. He has a red tilak on his forehead and wears orange sandals. Behind him, workers in checked lungis and shirts stand and bend in a red-earth pit, and a man in a striped shirt and green-checked lungi stands near the right. Loose rocks and piles of red soil surround the foundation dig.2006-10-25A photograph of an open grassy field with scrubby trees and a wire fence behind it. A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange garment and gold-edged shawl stands in the foreground holding a metal trident-tipped staff, facing left. Beside them an older man with white hair wears white ritual clothes and a bangle, and at the right edge a partly visible man in white clothes and sandals stands with his arms folded. The scene suggests a site inspection on bare land, with the person in saffron carrying a trident. The long-haired figure in saffron with a trident is a probable match for the Swamiji depiction, based on hair, saffron clothing and trident cues.2008-04-01Outdoor photo of a long-haired man seated cross-legged on rocks over an orange cloth on grassy ground with scattered trees behind. He wears an orange robe draped over his shoulders, a long rudraksha mala, and a red mark on his forehead, with his hands clasped on his knee. Two men in white clothes sit nearby, one at right wearing gold bangles, and a wooden staff lies at the lower left. The long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha cues are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.2008-01-03
