A night-time event where a smiling man in a white turban, white dhoti with gold border and gold necklace sits on a chair and extends a brown rudraksha mala toward an older bearded man in white kurta who bows forward with hands folded. Behind them, a woman in gold-bordered white sari bends forward receiving a mala. Several men in white clothes stand near a red carpet, and a figure in orange saffron robe stands in the background beside a colourful banner and a tripod-mounted camera. Scattered petals lie on the red carpet.2005-12-09December 09 20052005-12-09A photograph of a ceremonial outdoor stage at a satsang event. A seated figure on a gold-carved throne with cushioned gold armrests wears saffron-orange robes, a long orange shawl, a rudraksha mala and a heavy gold necklace, with a red tilak on the forehead and long swept-back hair; he smiles and gestures with one hand. A bald priest in a white dhoti with a gold border and a white upper cloth kneels before him, washing or touching his feet with a brass vessel. The throne is backed by a garland-draped decorated frame of red, orange and white flowers. Other saffron-robed attendants are partly visible at the edges. Several people are visible in the frame.2012-07-03December 09 20052005-12-09December 09 20052005-12-09July 03 20122012-07-03February 14 20072007-02-14 +1 copiesApril 06 20122012-04-06A photo of a seated figure in an orange sannyasi robe with long dark hair, sitting on an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha) with a gold canopy overhead, placing a hand on the head of a kneeling boy in white dhoti and shirt with palms joined. A large printed portrait of a bearded elder with white hair and a smiling face fills the backdrop, and garlands of yellow, white and multicolour flowers hang beside it. To the left a man in white sits on the floor near brass vessels, and to the right a man in an orange vest and white dhoti kneels with folded hands. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair and orange robe on the throne, with the throne and seating as ceremonial cues; this appearance-based label is only a probable candidate.2007-02-24January 13 20152015-01-13July 07 20092009-07-07Outdoor evening gathering under floodlights, with a crowd of devotees behind a barrier. A seated figure on a gold-and-red throne (peetha) with a cushion is surrounded by yellow and orange marigold garlands and red flowers. He wears a white turban, a leopard-print shawl over a white garment, and a long garland, and is smiling broadly. Devotees in white kurtas and an orange-clad man with a shawl stand close, and a person in white kneels and bows near the throne. A tray of coins, nuts and a coconut sits on the dais. A man in white with a rudraksha mala stands at left. The seated figure matches the page's Swamiji candidate by visible cues: turban, long swept-back hair and ornate garland, with clothing and adornment consistent with the cues, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) and marked in_person.2010-12-29
