Outdoors in a garden shrine with red-and-white striped plinths, a standing man in saffron-orange robes, orange shawl and a red-beaded mala stands at the right with hands folded in front of him, facing a row of black stone deity murtis draped in marigold garlands. The central murti wears an orange cloth and gold-coloured headdress; a smaller seated orange figure sits at its base. Green trees, palms and a brass lamp on the plinth surround the scene. A black plaque with Tamil script sits on the plinth. The man has long dark hair and appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala; he is in person and not seated on a throne.

A man in saffron-orange robes with a long, swept-back hairstyle and an orange-and-red rudraksha-style mala stands with palms pressed together in namaskar beside a row of black stone deity statues draped in garlands of orange and white flowers. One statue wears an orange turban and a white dhoti-like cloth. Behind them stand other black murtis, a tall arched gold-framed gateway, a red-and-white striped plinth, a brass kalasha-style vessel and a small lamp on the platform. A plain sign with Tamil text stands at the base of the shrine. Palms, trees and a clear sky sit behind the scene. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, long swept-back hair and mala form the visible cues for the man, who is greeting the deity murtis in an outdoor shrine setting.2011-11-10Outdoor photo at a temple garden with striped red-and-white plinths. On the left, black stone deity murtis are decorated with marigold and multicolour flower garlands and an orange cloth; a small saffron-robed figure sits on a plinth in front. A man in an orange dhoti and orange shawl, with long hair and a red-beaded rudraksha-style mala and beaded bracelets, walks on a path to the right and smiles, appearing to be a sannyasi devotee. Palms and trees fill the background.2011-11-10November 10 20112011-11-10November 10 20112011-11-10November 10 20112011-11-10November 10 20112011-11-10Photo 11682800December 09 20112011-12-09Outdoor temple-garden scene at a shrine with a golden arched frame and black stone murtis of deities, one seated with an orange cloth draped over a figure, garlanded with yellow and orange marigold garlands. A standing man in an orange dhoti and orange shawl, with a long rudraksha-style mala and a light garland, holds a white paper or folder and looks toward the camera; he shows long swept-back hair and a distinctive ceremonial presentation, so this is a Swamiji (probable) appearance-based candidate standing in person. Nearby are a second golden arch with more black deity figures, a blue-clad small statue with a garland, a red-and-white striped plinth, and a black inscription board with Tamil text. Green trees and a potted plant frame the scene, with a few people in the background.2011-12-08Outdoor photo at a shrine courtyard. A young man in saffron-orange dhoti and matching upper cloth, with a rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, stands barefoot with hands joined in namaskar before a shrine. Behind him, a black stone deity murti seated on a pedestal is draped in marigold and yellow garlands with an orange headpiece. Nearby, a blue-clad seated figure and other garlanded murtis stand in the shrine, and a brass kalasha-like pot sits on the red-and-white striped platform. Several men in white dhotis and shirts stand with hands folded in the background among trees and potted plants. A small signboard with text is mounted on the platform.2011-12-08October 08 20112011-10-08November 10 20112011-11-10
