Outdoor photo at a rural compound with a tall wooden flagpole flying a saffron-red flag beside a red-walled building with a green metal roof. A seated man in an orange-saffron shawl and white cloth sits barefoot on a white-covered chair on a small patterned rug, one hand raised near his face. Nearby on a red mat is a leopard-print covered seat with white cloths and an orange cloth, and a small brick platform with a white cloth. Stacks of bricks, a parked silver SUV and trees surround the scene under an overcast sky.

A photograph of an outdoor ashram scene under overcast sky. A seated figure in orange-saffron robes sits on a small white chair on a red-and-brown patterned rug in front of a low-slung red-brick building with a green corrugated metal roof. Beside them, a cushioned ornate seat draped with white cloth sits on a red mat. A tall flagpole flies a red-and-blue flag. Stacked bricks line the building's base and a parked silver SUV sits to the right, with a small booth or stall in the background where a few people in white are visible. A small microphone stand stands near the seated figure. The seated person is a visible physical presence in an ashram setting; the page cues do not establish identity.2006-08-17Outdoor photo at an ashram site. A person in an orange saffron wrap sits on a low white stool on bare ground in the foreground, with bare feet and long dark hair, facing sideways. Behind them, a tall flagpole flies a saffron flag with a black emblem. A red-brick building with a green corrugated roof stands behind stacked bricks. To the right, a silver SUV is parked, and a few people in white clothes walk near a small open shelter. A low table draped in white cloth with an orange cloth lies beside the seated figure. Palm trees and a partly cloudy sky complete the scene.2006-08-17A photograph of a man with long dark hair seated on a red-brick ledge under a thatched shelter, wearing a flowing saffron-orange robe that leaves his shoulder bare. He holds a small metal cup in both hands, and a silver walking staff rests against the ledge. Behind him a framed portrait shows a smiling man in a white turban and dark clothing, and to the left a figure in white and orange stands partly visible beside an orange umbrella. Potted red-leaved plants, a wooden post and a green lawn surround the shelter. The man is an appearance-based candidate wearing saffron robes and long hair, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the a person field is unsure.2006-09-21September 17 20062006-09-17A person with long dark wavy hair and a gold headband sits cross-legged on a low wooden seat with an orange cushion, dressed in an orange shawl and robe with fringed edges. Hands rest folded in the lap and a red tilak mark is on the forehead. A woven mat with a blue border and a small pink-green rug surround the seat, with yellow and white floor markings beneath. Behind is an orange stepped pedestal, grey stone sculptures and palm trees in misty light. A brass vessel is partly visible at the left edge. Swamiji (probable) appearance: the seated figure shows long swept hair, a gold crown-like headband and saffron clothing.2010-12-27February 17 20112011-02-17 +1 copiesDecember 28 20082008-12-28 +1 copiesA man with shoulder-length dark hair and a small red bindi sits cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a woven straw mat with a blue edge, on a paved outdoor courtyard.

In front of him stands a polished brass kalasha-style vessel with a spout and handle.
