A man with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange-saffron shawl sits on a cream chair beside a golden-framed deity murti draped with white jasmine garlands, next to a golden kalasha-like object and a small figure with a pink flower. Above them hangs a framed painting of a seated sannyasi in orange robes and rudraksha beads, flanked by red and orange draped cloth with marigold garlands. He rests his chin on his hand, looking toward the murti in a room with cream walls and a brass lamp at the right edge.2006-02-20February 20 2006, Arrival At Los Angeles2006-02-20February 20 2006, Arrival At Los Angeles2006-02-20A man with long, swept-back dark hair wearing an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and body stands smiling beside an ornate black deity murti in a white-tented pavilion. The murti wears a silver-and-gold crown, a multi-strand ornate necklace, silver armour-like adornments, marigold garlands and a red cloth. Gold-coloured carved arches frame the shrine, and a small gold stand is visible at left. A partially visible person is at the lower left edge. The man's saffron clothing and long hair match the Swamiji presentation cues, and the page names him, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate in person.2006-03-01Photo 11683232 +1 copiesA photo taken inside a white tent at an outdoor temple setup. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron shawl over his body, stands beside an ornate deity murti of Venkateshwara (Vishnu) that has a dark face, a white ornamented crown and a gold-and-white decorated body. The murti is draped in red cloth and marigold garlands and framed by a large gilded arch with carved detailing. A second gold arch stands behind on a stand, and a seated man in a dark shirt sits at the left edge with his arms crossed. A black cable coil rests on a metal stool in the foreground. The man in orange is visually distinctive, but no appearance-based identification is made from the photo alone.2006-03-01A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair sits on a white-draped throne-like seat beside a golden deity murti dressed in white with garlands and a flower-decorated silver frame. Brass oil lamps stand on a tray with flowers, a brass lamp stand rises on the right, and pooja vessels sit on the floor. The man appears to be a person by appearance cues, sitting in a ritual setting consistent with a Los Angeles ashram arrival.2006-02-20March 01 20062006-03-01 +1 copies2010 - Photo Album +1 copiesFebruary 20 2006, Arrival At Los Angeles2006-02-20A man with long swept-back dark hair and a bare upper body, wearing an orange saffron dhoti-style wrap and a saffron rudraksha-style cord, stands at left pouring or pressing his hands onto the head of a large black stone deity murti.
