A photograph of a man in profile leaning his head and forehead against the trunk of a large banyan-type tree with aerial roots. He has long, dark, swept-back hair, wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and bare upper body, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold ceremonial necklace, and a gold armlet on his upper arm. His eyes are closed and he appears to be in a moment of quiet devotion or meditation, with his right hand resting on the bark. Green foliage and soft blurred background surround him. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron shawl, rudraksha malas and gold adornments are the qualifying cues for this figure.2011-11-05November 05 20112011-11-05September 23 20112011-09-23November 02 20112011-11-02A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe with gold-coloured beaded trim, standing outdoors and leaning his forehead against the trunk of a large banyan-type tree with aerial roots. His eyes are closed and his hand rests on the bark, a gesture of reverence. He wears gold beaded necklaces and an armlet, and his hair is tied in a bun at the back of his head. The background is blurred greenery.2011-11-26A photograph of a man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead leaning his head and folded hands against the trunk of a large banyan-type tree with aerial roots. He wears an orange saffron wrap draped over one shoulder, leaving the other shoulder bare, with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a beaded armlet. Several thin aerial roots and a grey stone slab sit beside him in a shaded outdoor setting. The figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and beaded adornments, consistent with a person presence, though the appearance is only partly clear from this angle.2011-10-16A man with his hair tied up in a bun leans his forehead against the trunk of a large banyan tree with his eyes closed. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his left shoulder, leaving his right arm and chest bare, with a gold ornament at the neck, multiple strands of rudraksha beads across his chest, and a rudraksha bead band on his upper arm. A red tilak is visible on his forehead. Aerial roots hang down from the tree, and yellow flowers are visible at the left edge. The setting is outdoors in a wooded area. The appearance of a bare-chested figure with rudraksha malas and gold adornment suggests a person candidate in a solitary reflective moment, but the features are not clear enough to confirm identity.2013-01-02A man in profile leans his forehead against the trunk of a large tree with aerial roots, eyes closed in a quiet devotional posture. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, a multi-strand beaded necklace of white and red beads, a gold hoop earring, a beaded armband, and a white band of vibhuti or tilak on his forehead, with hair swept back. His right hand rests on the bark. The background is softly blurred foliage. Appearance-based label: a person, shown in an outdoor moment of reverence.2013-01-13November 06 20112011-11-06A man in saffron-orange draped robes with gold-bordered edges leans his forehead and right hand against the large buttressed trunk of a banyan tree, eyes closed in devotion. He wears a silver-coloured multi-strand necklace, silver arm bands and bracelets, and has long dark hair gathered in a knot at the back, with white vibhuti tilak on his forehead. His bare back and shoulder are visible, and the orange cloth is draped over one shoulder with a tassel. The setting is outdoors with blurred trees and soft light. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, silver jewellery, long swept-back hair and vibhuti cues are distinctive, and he is the only person shown.2011-12-25A photograph of a man standing outdoors beside a large banyan tree, pressing his forehead against one of its thick, grey aerial roots with his eyes closed. He has long dark hair gathered into a low knot at the back and wears a rudraksha mala around his neck. A saffron-orange and red shawl drapes over his bare shoulder and torso, and his hands are folded at the base of the trunk. Blurred green foliage and soft light fill the background. The figure has distinctive long swept hair, a rudraksha mala and saffron-orange clothing, so the appearance-based label is a person, presented here in a meditative pose at the tree.2011-02-02October 20 20112011-10-20
