May 09 20132013-05-09A photograph of a barefoot person standing beside a large banyan tree, leaning forward with forehead and cheek pressed against its trunk and eyes closed. The person wears a sleeveless rust-orange wrap with broad gold borders, an orange beaded mala necklace, a gold bracelet and a small gold earring, with long dark hair swept back. A small red and white mat lies on the ground at the base of the tree. Sunlit foliage forms a soft background. The posture suggests prayer or quiet reverence. The person's bare-shoulder, long-hair and orange-robe appearance is consistent with the appearance-based Swamiji (probable) cues, while the orange mala and gold-bordered wrap are distinctive; the identity is an appearance-based judgment only.2013-05-09 +1 copiesA man in profile stands barefoot on a red and blue patterned mat atop a low stone platform, his forehead pressed against the trunk of a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti with gold borders and an orange shawl draped over his left shoulder and bare chest, a gold bead necklace, and a white forehead mark. His eyes are closed and his long dark hair falls down his back. A small pale stone and a lamp-like object sit near his feet. A red boundary wall and gravel are visible behind him. The page does not state that a person is present, and the appearance is not a clear enough match to confirm identity, so this is a devotee in meditative prayer.2013-03-01March 13 20132013-03-13A photograph of a man standing barefoot on a low stone platform, leaning his head and shoulder against the trunk of a large banyan tree with thick aerial roots. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with red-maroon borders, a rudraksha mala around his neck, and has long dark hair swept back. His hands are pressed together at his chest in a reverent pose. Sandy ground, a low white wall and a tall white pole are visible in the background among green foliage.2011-03-05 +1 copiesA photograph of a long-haired man in a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap with yellow-gold borders, bare-chested and wearing an orange-red bead necklace, standing barefoot on a white stone platform beside a large banyan tree. He leans one hand against the aerial-rooted trunk and looks down. Red and white patterned mats lie on the steps, and a stone bench sits in the lower left. The figure has long swept-back hair and a rudraksha-style mala, matching the a person candidate cues, but the appearance is only partly clear, so identity is uncertain. No other people are visible.2013-05-09A photograph of a person in rust-orange robes with gold-striped borders leaning forehead-first against the trunk of a large banyan tree with eyes closed in a quiet, meditative pose. He wears a long rudraksha-style bead mala with ornate gold beads, a matching beaded armlet, beaded bracelets and rings, and a vertical white tilak with red dot on his forehead. His hair is swept back in a long style. The ground is dry earth with blurred greenery behind.2013-04-23June 06 20132013-06-06May 09 20132013-05-09April 21 20132013-04-21A photograph of a long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe standing barefoot on a white-walled circular platform, leaning with one hand against the thick trunk of a large banyan tree with many aerial roots. A garland of yellow and purple flowers hangs on the trunk at left. Dry dirt ground and a white boundary wall are visible behind, with a small grey pole and a palm tree in the background. The figure has long dark hair and a thin gold necklace; the saffron robe and long hair are the appearance cues, and the page names Swamiji at this event but the face is not used. Swamiji (probable) in the sense of an appearance-based candidate with multiple cues: long swept hair, saffron clothing and a gold necklace.2010-02-12A barefoot figure in an orange-saffron wrap and sleeveless orange top with maroon borders stands with their back to the camera, leaning against the thick, buttress-rooted trunk of a large banyan tree. A red and white flower garland hangs over the shoulder, and a saffron headband is tied across the head over long dark hair. Dappled shade falls on the sandy ground, with more trees and open land behind.2007-12-25
