A photograph inside a hall where a long-haired figure in orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a red cushion, raising a hand in blessing. An older man in a white shirt and grey trousers kneels on a patterned rug, reaching toward the figure's feet, while a man in white dhoti and yellow shawl bends forward beside him with hands joined. Behind them, a man in orange shawl and white kurta smiles and holds a small object, and a white side table holds fruit, a banana bunch and a tray. Several other men in white and yellow stand in the background. The seated figure is described here as Swamiji (probable), based on the long dark hair and orange clothing with the ornate throne.2010-09-05September 30 20082008-09-30A photograph inside a room with cream sofas and blue floral upholstery and a white shag rug. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange shawl sits on the sofa with his palms pressed together, his bare feet on the rug. A man in a cream shirt kneels before him on the rug, holding a yellow object in his hands as an offering. Behind them, a man in red-orange robes with a bead necklace stands, and to the right a man in a white shirt with a gold watch stands beside a man in grey trousers, arms crossed. An orange mat lies on the floor at right.2010-06-29A photograph of a covered colonnaded hall where a man in a cream shirt and white dhoti bows deeply at the feet of a figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long dark swept-back hair, who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Around them, several men in white dhotis and bare-chested devotees stand with folded hands, one wearing a white shirt and a thin orange shawl. White plastic chairs stand at the right and a pillar-lined wall stretches behind.2006-11-09September 30 20082008-09-30A seated man in an orange sleeveless robe with a long rudraksha mala and long dark hair sits on a white-draped chair and smiles as a man in a white shirt and grey trousers kneels on an orange mat, clasping his hands and reaching toward him. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair, orange robes and rudraksha beads, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person. Behind them, men in white and orange ritual clothing stand near a wooden tray holding green mangoes and offerings, with brass vessels and a red-flower bowl on a stone ledge. Two people are fully visible in the foreground, with others partly visible behind, making several people in all.2010-06-13July 11 20102010-07-11A photograph of two saffron-clad sannyasis kneeling and clasping hands on a tiled floor in an indoor room. The figure on the left wears an orange turban, bare-chested orange cloth wrap, and a long gold ceremonial necklace, smiling broadly with long hair. The figure on the right, seen from behind and partially turned, is draped in orange cloth with a head covering. A man in white shirt and trousers with a red and blue rosette stands behind them, and a flowering plant and cream cabinets appear at the back.2007-01-30A photograph in a bare white-walled hall with a woven mat floor. A long-haired man in a flowing saffron-orange robe sits on a white-draped cushioned seat, holding a beaded mala in his hands and smiling as he receives a devotee. Lying prostrate in front of him on a dark patterned rug is a man in a white kurta with a yellow shawl, his head touching the floor. Behind them, standing figures in orange and white clothing watch the scene, one in a yellow scarf and white kurta at the left wall, and bearded men in orange dhotis among them.2008-09-30A seated figure in long flowing saffron-orange robes with long dark swept hair sits on a white-draped low seat with an orange cushion, holding a rudraksha mala and gesturing with an open hand toward a man in a white kurta prostrating face-down on a red patterned rug. Behind them, several men in orange dhotis and shawls stand on a woven mat against a white wall, one holding a mala. A deity-style red floor mat with a mandala-like design lies under the seat. The scene suggests a devotee offering obeisance (padapuja-style prostration) before a respected guru, with the seated figure's appearance matching the probable Swamiji cues of long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a mala.2008-09-30A photograph of a seated figure on an orange velvet throne with an orange velvet cushion and a red backrest, set against a dark red curtain. The seated person wears an orange sleeveless top and orange dhoti-style garments, with a rudraksha mala around the neck, and smiles while receiving honour. Before the throne a man in white shirt and white dhoti lies prostrate on the floor in full pranam. Standing to the left are several men in white clothes with red or yellow shawls, and a man in an orange robe with a red border stands near the throne. Flower offerings and garlands lie on white pedestals beside the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long hair, an orange garment and a rudraksha mala, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.2010-07-10June 13 20102010-06-13
