June 14 20132013-06-14Indoor event photograph in a hall with warm lighting. A long-haired man with a swept-back mane wears an orange-saffron shawl, layered rudraksha and red-brown bead necklaces, and a red tilak on his forehead, holding folded paper or an offering while receiving a visitor. Beside him a shaven-headed priest in an orange-saffron wrap wears a rudraksha mala and white tripundra markings. A man in a beige shirt bows with palms joined and an offering in hand. Other devotees in white and light clothing stand behind, and a shaven-headed man in orange at the right edge is partly visible. The visible cues for the central figure are his long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ornate necklaces, matching the page's Swamiji reference.2011-11-03January 23 20132013-01-23A photograph taken indoors near a doorway with a wooden door and barred windows. In the foreground an older man in white shirt and white dhoti stands beside an elderly man in white. A young boy in white with a red-stained forehead and rudraksha mala stands in the middle. Behind them a man in saffron robes wears a rudraksha mala and a bare torso with an orange and gold sash, and to the right a man with swept-back long hair wears a saffron garment and a heavy gold-bead garland, hands folded before him. Several other people in white and saffron stand in the background.2012-09-24Indoor photo in a hall with a white ceiling, fluorescent lights, red curtains and a projector screen. A figure with long black hair, a tilak on the forehead, rudraksha malas around the neck and arms, and a rust-orange cloth draped over the body stands at right, handing papers to a man. The man beside them wears a white kurta and holds small papers; a second man in a white shirt and a younger man in a patterned white shirt stand in line. Several other people, including a bald man in orange with rudraksha beads at right, stand behind in a queue. A printed photo caption at lower right is copyright text, which is not included here.2013-10-26A indoor event hall with a crowd of men gathered closely around a figure in saffron-orange robes. The central figure with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi on the forehead, layered rudraksha malas and gold bangles holds a small white paper slip and reads it. Beside him a shaved-headed attendant in orange cloth with a red mark on his forehead looks at the paper. Other men in white shirts, a striped shirt and a dark knit cap watch and lean in. A white wall screen and a draped backdrop with lights are behind them. Several people are visible.2011-11-09Photograph of an indoor gathering in a hall with a red curtain and stage backdrop. On the right, a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bead and rudraksha necklace and a wrapped orange shawl stands facing a bald monk in saffron robes wearing rudraksha malas and a red bindi, who gestures with one hand. Around them, devotees in white and a woman in a blue patterned top with a rudraksha mala listen; a man in glasses and a child are also visible, with a few more people at the edges.2013-06-12Indoor photo in a bright hall with large windows showing greenery. A man with long swept-back dark hair, bare-chested, wears a saffron-orange dhoti-style cloth and a thick gold-beaded garland, standing centre and gesturing with his hands while speaking. Around him, several saffron-robed monks and white-clad men stand listening; one older man in a white shirt and dhoti gestures with raised hands on the left, while an elderly man in white stands beside him with hands clasped. A young boy with a white tilak and a rudraksha mala stands in white, and shaved-headed men in orange and white stand to the right. Pillars and a tiled floor frame the scene.2012-09-24August 09 20072007-08-09A photograph of an indoor hall with pale walls and hanging orange and multicoloured banners. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl and a white-and-gold garland stands with his head turned, gesturing with one hand toward a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who holds a blue paper. Beside them, a bald man in orange robes holds a white tray with gold items. Several men in white dhotis and shirts and orange-robed monastics stand around, one with a rudraksha mala, and a foreign-looking man in a white shirt stands at the back. A partially visible figure at the right holds a gold-coloured tray. The orange-robed man with the long swept-back hair and garland matches the page's Swamiji cues of saffron clothing, a ceremonial garland and long hair, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.2011-02-22May 28 20132013-05-28A man in white clothes with white and red tilak on his forehead stands with palms pressed together in namaste before a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a bare upper chest and an orange-saffron wrap, wearing a thick rudraksha mala and a large ceremonial gold pendant necklace with a gold armband. Behind them, other men in saffron robes with white forehead markings and rudraksha malas stand among devotees in white clothes, and a partly visible person stands at the left edge.2013-05-14 +1 copies
