He holds a trident in his right hand and raises his left palm in greeting, wearing a heavy gold chain necklace with bead-like ornaments. Behind him, several sadhus in orange and red turbans sit on stone steps beside metal plates, and a few men in casual clothes stand nearby. Mountain snow and a blue sky frame the scene. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, long hair and ornate gold necklace with trident indicate a sannyasi presentation, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at the Himalaya Yatra event.2010-09-27May 28 20052005-05-28 +2 copiesDecember 29 20082008-12-29A man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on a white concrete ledge in front of a green hillside and green metal railing. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and bare chest, with a red bindi on his forehead. A golden trident is held upright beside him, and an orange sandal lies on the ground at the lower right.

Bare-chested sitting figure holding a trident, looking to the side and smiling.2006-05-22A seated man with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and holds a tall golden trident (trishul) upright beside him. He sits on a white-covered seat with a red-bordered cloth, one arm resting on it. Behind him, two men in white dhotis and orange sleeveless vests stand, one holding a small white object.

He wears an orange-saffron robe and a long necklace of rudraksha beads. Behind him a shop sign reads Shivanand Emporium with gem stone and rudraksha lettering, and other people in orange and red clothing crowd the background.
