A man in a flowing saffron-orange sleeveless garment with dark trim stands barefoot beside a large banyan tree, one hand resting on its aerial roots, eyes closed in devotion. He wears a long strand of golden beads and sits on a stone platform within an outdoor courtyard, with white kolam rangoli designs on the ground and tree trunks surrounding him. The figure has long dark hair swept back, a distinctive visible cue, but the appearance is not clearly enough established to name him, so this is a devotee-like figure in ritual dress with uncertain identity.

A man with long swept-back dark hair stands barefoot on a stone step beside a large banyan tree, leaning his cheek against its thick aerial roots. He wears a flowing saffron-orange dhoti-style garment with a patterned border and a sleeveless orange wrap, and a multi-strand necklace of gold beads and rudraksha-style ornaments. White kolam-style rangoli designs decorate the ground around the step, and a stone platform and small shrine structures sit in the background among trees. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace, consistent with the page's claim of Swamiji being present at this event.2010-12-28A man in a saffron-orange robe with matching orange border trim stands barefoot beside a large banyan tree, one hand resting against its thick aerial roots and the other held at his waist. He wears a long necklace of golden beads and has long dark hair swept back, with his eyes lowered in a quiet, reverent pose. White kolam designs are painted on the ground around the stone base of the tree, with a small shrine and a green object visible in the background among trees on a sunlit compound.2010-12-28April 17 20132013-04-17 +2 copiesDecember 05 20112011-12-05 +1 copiesMarch 02 20112011-03-02December 26 20082008-12-26A man in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe and dhoti stands barefoot leaning his head and forearm against the thick aerial roots of a large banyan tree, eyes closed in a contemplative posture.

The person wears a sleeveless rust-orange wrap with broad gold borders, an orange beaded mala necklace, a gold bracelet and a small gold earring, with long dark hair swept back. A small red and white mat lies on the ground at the base of the tree. Sunlit foliage forms a soft background. The posture suggests prayer or quiet reverence. The person's bare-shoulder, long-hair and orange-robe appearance is consistent with the appearance-based Swamiji (probable) cues, while the orange mala and gold-bordered wrap are distinctive; the identity is an appearance-based judgment only.2013-05-09 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02May 13 20132013-05-13 +1 copiesApril 06 20132013-04-06A barefoot person in saffron-orange robes stands on a raised stone platform beside a large banyan tree, pressing their forehead and right palm against a thick aerial-root trunk with eyes closed. They wear a gold headband, a red bindi, long dark hair, a layered gold necklace and an orange shawl with pink-edged pleats draped over the body. A white kolam-style line pattern marks the ground at their feet, with scattered petals nearby.
