September 03 20052005-09-03July 10 20092009-07-10Outdoor photo under a canopy with palm trees and tall orange and white festival streamers. A man with long swept-back black hair wears an orange saffron robe and a heavy ceremonial gold bead necklace, extending his right hand forward as he speaks. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace are the qualifying cues. Around him, men in white dhotis with sacred thread and tilak marks stand close, one holding a small white cup. A shaved-headed man in front of them bends forward holding offerings, and a stone statue appears at the left edge.2010-11-06A photograph of a single man in profile, eyes lowered, standing in front of blurred orange and red cloth drapes. He has long, swept-back dark hair, a white horizontal tilak on his forehead with a red mark, a white dhoti-style wrap over the shoulder, and a long rudraksha mala with a gold ornament. A bronze-coloured rudraksha band is on his upper arm. Behind him are blurred orange flowers. The scene appears to be a devotional or satsang setting.

Behind them, a figure in white stands near a dark speaker and another person is partly visible at the edge. a person: the seated man wears the saffron wrap, long hair and orange garland with gold ornaments, but the appearance cues are not conclusive enough to confirm identity.2013-03-18A photograph of a man in an orange saffron shawl and a gold-beaded necklace standing beside a brass lamp with a bright flame. His dishevelled, shoulder-length dark hair is swept back. Behind him, a man in white with a yellow cloth on his shoulder holds a black video camera on a tripod, filming the scene. A second brass lamp with a flame appears at left, along with a brass deity murti in the background. The scene suggests a ritual setting with oil lamps. a person is shown in the foreground, wearing a saffron wrap, rudraksha-style gold bead necklace and long swept-back hair, consistent with the page's reference to a person. Two people are visible.2010-11-25June 21 20092009-06-21Close-up photo of a man with short dark hair and eyes closed, seated in a meditative posture.

A man with long dark hair swept back, wearing an orange saffron shawl and draped orange garment, multiple rudraksha malas and a rudraksha bracelet, smiles while placing his right hand on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt whose palms are pressed together in namaskar. Several robed attendants in white and orange stand around, a cameraman holding a camera raises it at left, and devotees and framed portraits line the hall. The orange-clad figure has distinctive long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, matching the page's a person reference, so this is a probable identification from appearance, not a confirmed one.2011-11-08A photograph of a devotional gathering under a white canopy outdoors. In the foreground, a man in a white kurta with a dark rudraksha-style mala and pendant holds a small glass or bowl and offers something to a figure beside him.

He wears a white unstitched cloth draped over one shoulder, with a tilak mark on his forehead, a long rudraksha mala around his neck, and a rudraksha bracelet on his upper arm.
