Night-time outdoor gathering in a dimly lit courtyard. In the foreground, several young men in white and orange clothing stand with palms pressed together in anjali, eyes closed in devotion; one has a white tilak on his forehead. Behind them, many people in white and saffron-orange robes stand in rows. On the right, a tall figure in a long orange-red robe stands on a raised platform covered with a zebra-striped cloth, facing the group, with a crowd gathered around him. A boy in white wears a rudraksha mala. The scene suggests a darshan or satsang with devotees standing in reverent posture.2009-02-16Night-time outdoor gathering at an ashram with a large crowd of devotees. In the foreground a bare-chested figure with long swept-back dark hair and an orange wrap, holding a microphone, faces the crowd and speaks. Around them many people wear white ritual clothes and orange shawls, with several young girls and children in front. On the right a man in white raises a video camera. A string of lights and a dark tree line appear behind. The figure's appearance matches the page's Swamiji cues (long hair, orange wrap, bare chest), so this is a probable identification with the page's claim of Swamiji present; the figure is a presiding teacher speaking to devotees.2006-10-21September 03 20072007-09-03December 23 20062006-12-23December 21 20092009-12-21October 21 20062006-10-21December 06 20112011-12-06December 06 20112011-12-06July 12 20092009-07-12A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair sits on a white-covered cushioned seat with a patterned red and gold cloth, a wooden staff resting on a striped mat before him. Around him, devotees in white clothes and white-and-orange sashes stand and sit on the ground; a girl in a gold-toned dress with a small medallion sits in the foreground, and an older woman in a floral top sits at left. Some people wear rudraksha-style necklaces. Small colourful decorative items lie at the bottom edge.2006-12-31December 23 20082008-12-23Outdoors beneath large spreading banyan trees, a figure in a long orange robe stands barefoot on a red mat in front of a cushioned seat with leopard-print upholstery, hands joined in namaste with a gold necklace visible. Devotees sit on the ground around him, many in white clothes, some with rudraksha malas, while standing attendees in white shirts and dhotis stand behind. A brass lamp with a flame is visible at the lower right edge. The figure has long, swept-back dark hair, a distinctive cue for a person presence, though this is an appearance-based label only.2005-12-31
