To the right, a man in white clothes bows with hands joined. Behind them a white-draped table holds a flower vase and offerings, and a standing fan and white-covered cots or bedding are visible.2008-06-22June 22 20082008-06-22A blurred indoor photograph of a long-haired man in a sleeveless orange robe and a white flower garland, walking with palms pressed together in namaste at chest height, head bowed.

A figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair and a multicolour flower garland sits on a white cushioned seat, smiling and gesturing. Probable Swamiji seated in a throne-like chair, with his distinctive long hair and saffron clothing as visible cues. A man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl stands at left, and a man in white kneels with hands folded in namaskar at the front, facing the seated figure. Other men in white and orange shawls stand at the left edge. A fan, a potted plant, a wooden side table with a water bottle, and a red mat on the floor complete the scene.2006-10-21A photograph on a stage in front of a large white rounded backdrop with dark red drapes. A man with long dark hair, a red bindi and a saffron-orange shawl is seated, smiling, with a thick white flower garland and dark rudraksha-style beads around his neck. An older balding man in a white shirt and white dhoti, seen from behind, leans toward him and raises a hand near the seated man's head, apparently in blessing or greeting. The seated man's arm extends to the right toward other seated figures in white. Two people are visible.2008-06-22A photograph of a man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a white and red flower garland, with eyes closed. In the foreground a man in a white shirt faces him from behind, his hand raised near the garland. A large white dome-shaped backdrop with dark red drapes stands behind them. The seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron robe and garland, matching the page's appearance cues for Swamiji (probable), and is receiving a blessing or darshan from the man in white.2008-06-22Photo of a ceremonial gathering in front of a backdrop showing a night-sky galaxy and a glowing orange sun. On the right, a man in an orange turban, orange-and-gold sash, pink flower garland and bangles stands smiling and extends his hand toward a seated man in a white kurta with an orange shawl who is pressing his palms together in namaskar. Behind them, a man in an orange turban and orange garland sits, a brass lamp with a bird finial stands on a table, and a white-bearded man in glasses and orange cloth is partly visible at left. Four people are visible, and the scene reads as a reception or honouring moment rather than a temple ritual. The right-hand figure has distinctive orange-and-gold clothing, a turban and a flower garland, so the appearance-based label applies.2015-07-19June 22 20082008-06-22A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a long white-and-red flower garland sits before a large white circular backdrop against deep red drapes. His long dark hair is swept back, and he wears a red tilak mark on his forehead; his expression is serene with eyes half-closed. A man in a white shirt kneels or leans toward him with palms pressed together in a respectful gesture, and a second person in white reclines or sits at the right edge beside a white bolster. Style and framing suggest a formal darshan session. Swamiji (probable) is the seated saffron-clad figure receiving the devotee, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robe and garland cues.2008-06-22Photograph of a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe walking barefoot down a red carpet aisle in an indoor hall, palms pressed together in anjali namaskar and smiling. A small red tilak marks his forehead.
