A photograph of a devotional darshan scene in front of an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands and striped cloth. A person with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe, long orange shawl and beaded necklaces, sits on a red-cushioned seat and smiles while a shaven-headed monk in orange robes and a mala attends them, holding a brass tray. Around them stand devotees in white clothes, including a man in a white shirt holding a baby and a woman in a white sari with a shawl. The figure on the throne has distinctive long hair and orange saffron clothing with malas, a possible a person cue, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2008-07-17June 13 20102010-06-13A photograph of a ceremony in a decorated hall. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a flower garland and a red-and-white floral garland sits on an ornate gold throne and smiles as he reaches toward a baby. A woman in a white and gold-bordered sari holds the infant wrapped in white cloth, with a small pink-and-white bundle, and a young woman stands beside her. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds purple wrapped sweets, and a saffron-robed man stands behind them. A tray of wrapped candies sits on the right, and the backdrop is hung with flower garlands. The seated man matches the a person description: long swept-back hair, saffron robes and ornate gold necklaces, seated on a throne in a ceremonial setting.2009-12-24June 18 20102010-06-18July 08 20102010-07-08A photograph of a devotional darshan on a stage. A seated figure in flowing saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a red-and-gold tiger-striped cushion, decorated with red and white flower garlands. A long string of yellow marigold beads hangs from the seated figure's neck. A young woman in a white kurta reaches up to touch the forehead of the seated figure, and a small child in a blue-and-white striped outfit is held on the lap while a man in a grey striped shirt leans in with the child's arm around him. Behind them stand a man in a white shirt and an attendant in orange. On the right, a woman in a white sari with gold border holds a tray of fruit and offerings. Green foliage and painted floral backdrops fill the background.2009-07-17June 27 20102010-06-27August 22 20092009-08-22A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes sits on an orange-cushioned seat holding a small baby wrapped in an orange-and-white cloth, with a pacifier-like object nearby. He wears a gold necklace and a red forehead mark. Around him stand men in white kurtas with orange shawls and rudraksha malas, women in white saris, and a man in orange robes holding papers and a microphone at right, with another man's hands pressed together in greeting at the right edge. Palm fronds, a thatched shelter and an orange canopy frame the outdoor scene, with a brass plate and tumbler in the foreground. The man in saffron with long hair and gold necklace matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, presented here as a seated figure blessing an infant.2008-12-24December 24 20092009-12-24July 07 20102010-07-07 +1 copiesA photo of an indoor blessing moment at an ashram-style hall with green and orange floral garlands and a gold-carved backdrop. A long-haired man in orange robes with a multicoloured flower garland and a rudraksha-style mala is seated on a cream throne, looking down at a paper a green-saried woman holds up to him while she leans forward holding a small toddler in white and orange. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a gold chain, stands with palms pressed together in greeting. A monk in orange robes stands behind them, and a silver bowl of sweets sits on the right. a person is seated on the throne as the blessed figure in orange, with long swept-back hair and ceremonial garlands; the throne placement and garlands alone do not establish identity.2009-12-24
