A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red mark on his forehead leans against a thick tree trunk in an outdoor garden setting. He wears an orange saffron wrap with a gold-bordered edge over bare shoulders, with a long strand of rudraksha beads around his neck and a matching beaded armlet and bracelet. His eyes are lowered and his right hand grips the trunk. Green foliage and other trees fill the background. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron wrap, rudraksha mala and ceremonial beaded adornments match the cues for Swamiji, shown here as a photographed figure in a tree-side pose.2012-04-28A photograph of a single man standing barefoot beside the thick, buttressed trunk of a large banyan tree, leaning his head and right palm against the bark with eyes closed. He wears a saffron-orange silk dhoti and matching shawl with wide gold zari borders edged in maroon, plus a rudraksha-style bead necklace, bead armlets and beaded bracelets. His long dark hair falls down his back. The ground beneath shows reddish earth and a stone edge with kumkum-coloured markings. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron ceremonial clothing and layered rudraksha adornments, though the figure is not clearly identifiable from appearance alone.2011-11-15A man in orange-saffron dhoti and shawl stands leaning against a tree trunk outdoors, with a white tripundra marking on his forehead and a red bindi. He has long swept-back dark hair, wears a silver serpent armlet, multiple rudraksha malas, a gold pendant necklace and a rudraksha waist belt. Beside him, partly visible at right, an older man in a white dhoti and sacred thread stands near a red-and-white painted pillar among green foliage. Swamiji (probable) is the man in saffron, identified by the appearance cues of long hair, saffron ornate clothing and rudraksha malas.2012-09-14A man stands barefoot on a red and blue patterned mat under a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots. He wears a saffron-orange silk garment with a gold-and-red border draped over one shoulder, a long red and bronze rudraksha mala with a silver pendant, and red beaded armlets. He has long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi with white markings on his forehead. His hands are joined in front of his waist and his eyes are closed in a calm, meditative pose. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, long hair and rudraksha mala match the appearance cues the page associates with Swamiji, so this is an appearance-based candidate standing in person. A low white platform and a grey slab are visible beside him.2012-04-17April 14 20122012-04-14April 30 20122012-04-30 +2 copiesA single man stands outdoors among trees, leaning his head and shoulder against a rough tree trunk with eyes closed.
