Several men stand around them, including one in a white dhoti with hands folded in namaste, a man in a blue striped shirt and a young man in a black t-shirt. A silver tray holding brass items sits on a wooden box at right, and a decorated yellow-and-red pillar stands behind. The saffron-clad man has distinctive long hair and saffron/orange robes with rudraksha-style beads, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate present in person. Several other people stand in the background.2010-12-28September 12 20122012-09-12Indoor temple-hall scene during a ritual distribution. A man in a white dhoti and white shawl with red and bead malas and a gold necklace stands at center, holding a small silver plate with offerings and touching the forehead of a young man in a white shirt. Around them, monks in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas hold a silver tray and a white box of offerings, while a devotee in a white shirt and a man in green shirt have hands raised in reverence. A golden deity murti and orange draped decorations are visible in the background.2011-02-12April 15 20122012-04-15A photograph of a devotional gathering at an ashram. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange shawl over the shoulder, ornate gold-toned necklaces, and a beaded rudraksha-style mala, and extends his hand to greet a smiling man in white dhoti and shawl with a white-and-red forehead mark. Around them, devotees in casual clothes, a boy in a yellow shirt, and a young man in a black top stand close, and a silver tray with garlands is visible at the right edge. Behind them, more people in white ritual clothing and a red-and-white pillar complete the setting. Appearance-based cues on the central figure are distinctive, so he is a probable candidate for a person shown in person.2010-12-28August 18 20132013-08-18November 09 20112011-11-09May 10 20122012-05-10
