A photograph of an outdoor temple-courtyard scene. A figure in a saffron-red sannyasi-style dhoti and shawl, with a dark swept-back hairstyle, rudraksha mala beads, a gold pendant and gold necklaces, raises a hand in greeting while smiling; the person's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, a probable identification based on these visible cues. Beside them, a man in white dhoti and shawl with gold borders and rudraksha beads holds a decorated gold kalasha-style vessel topped with a yellow marigold garland and a beaded red-and-gold cloth. A toddler in a navy shirt is held by a woman in a gold-bordered sari at the right edge. Yellow marigold garlands wrap a pillar behind them, and hanging brass lamps and green foliage fill the background.

The figure has long swept-back dark hair, a white vibhuti marking with a red dot on the forehead, and is smiling while extending one arm toward a second person on the right. That person wears a white garment with an orange shawl and holds a brass tray with a flower-decorated object. Behind them are red pillars wrapped in cord with brass hanging lamps and a framed picture on the wall. Probable Swamiji cues: swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and rudraksha mala, saffron-orange ceremonial clothing, present in a ritual setting.2016-01-03April 10 20162016-04-10January 03 20162016-01-03A smiling man with long swept-back black hair, white and red forehead markings, a red bindi, and a red-and-gold robe wears layered rudraksha malas and a large gold ceremonial pendant, walking beside a second man in a red robe with white forehead lines and a red mala. Yellow and white flower garlands hang from wooden pillars under a tiled roof, and a man in white dhoti with gold border stands at the right edge holding a camera. The first man's long hair, ornate gold pendant and saffron-red robe match the appearance cues in the page, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate shown in person.2016-01-03January 03 20162016-01-03January 03 20162016-01-03 +1 copiesJanuary 03 20162016-01-03 +1 copiesJanuary 03 20162016-01-03
