In the centre, a man with long dark hair and a red mark on his forehead wears a saffron-red shawl and a heavy ceremonial gold-and-rudraksha style necklace; he smiles with palms pressed together. Around him, men in white shirts and white dhotis stand with hands folded in greeting, and on the right a man in white dhoti and shawl holds a silver tray with a brass vessel. The scene suggests a devotional gathering with devotees greeting a central figure. A probable Swamiji candidate is visible with long hair, saffron shawl and ornate necklace.2010-12-28A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi stands in the centre of a temple setting, smiling and raising one hand in greeting. He wears a red-orange saffron-toned garment with green-and-gold border trim and a heavy gold necklace with multiple large gold beads and a gold chain, plus a gold bangle on his wrist. Several people in white dhotis and white shirts stand around him with hands joined in anjali, one younger boy in white bowing his head, and a bald man in a white dhoti on the far right. A devotee at left with glasses also has palms pressed together. Behind them, a golden decorated temple setting and draped fabric are visible, with a small wooden box or tray held near the central figure. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron-toned clothing and ornate gold necklace with bead garlands.2010-12-28A photograph of a crowded indoor hall during a darshan-style gathering. A man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange draped garment and a heavy ornate gold necklace of large beads with a gold pendant, and he smiles while raising one hand in blessing toward a devotee. The figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold ceremonial jewellery, appearance-based probable identity: Swamiji (probable), addressing the devotee in the scene. In front of him a man in white ritual clothes with a red cloth over his shoulder bows with palms joined. Other people in white dhotis and kurtas, some shaved-headed, stand and sit in the background, and a projection screen hangs on the wall.2010-12-28February 02 20112011-02-02
