A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange top stands on reddish-brown earth at a historic site, facing two white-posted information boards with dark panels of small text. He wears a long wavy-haired style and a white-and-gold beaded necklace, with sandals on his feet. Behind him rises a large brick stupa with a dome-shaped body, under a pale blue sky, with a few visitors and trees in the distance. The setting resembles Sarnath, though no printed name confirms it. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a beaded necklace, consistent with the page's account of a Sarnath visit.

January 08 20062006-01-08Profile of a man with long, swept-back dark hair wearing an orange saffron shawl over orange robes and a heavy ornate gold necklace of large beads, looking to the left. Behind him is an open archaeological site with rows of low brick stupa-like foundations, a grassy lawn, bare-trunked trees and a brick boundary wall, with a few visitors walking in the distance.2006-01-08July 31 20112011-07-31A photograph at Sarnath showing a person in the foreground on the left wearing an orange top and orange shawl with a white-and-yellow flower garland, long dark wavy hair, gazing toward the right. Behind is a circular brick stupa platform with stepped brick walls, surrounded by green trees, partly excavated brick ruins and a small figure walking on the right. The sky is pale and hazy.2006-01-08A figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange head wrap stands on bare sandy ground at a construction site, smiling with one hand on the hip. Beside him stands a tall brass flagstaff with a small white-and-red pedestal base. Behind, workers, a concrete mixer, a yellow excavator, scaffolding, a partly built domed structure, a low block wall and palm trees fill the background.2006-12-20December 10 20082008-12-10July 31 20112011-07-31October 25 20062006-10-25A photograph at the Sarnath ruins near Varanasi: a standing figure with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron shawl over an orange-saffron garment and stands barefoot on a pale flat brick-paved court, facing away toward low red brick ruins, a stupa-like base and dense green trees under a pale blue sky. A small white-clad figure is visible near the ruins in the distance. The figure's long hair, saffron clothing and shawl are visible cues, and the page links the photo to Sarnath, so the appearance-based candidate is Swamiji (probable), seen from behind in a standing pose. Scattered small stones lie on the ground and a low brick platform sits at left.2006-01-08December 11 20092009-12-11January 08 20062006-01-08July 31 20112011-07-31
