Behind him a shaved-headed attendant in a saffron cloth and beaded necklace stands by a tray of fruit, and an older man in white with an orange shawl is visible at right. The setting is an indoor hall with a projection screen and blue drapery. The central figure matches the probable Swamiji appearance cues of swept-back long hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial beads, and is presented as the one giving prasadam to devotees.2011-02-27July 07 20092009-07-07A photograph of a ceremony in a hall with a projection screen behind. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe draped over one shoulder and ornate gold beaded necklaces, stands on the right holding a red thread or mala and smiling as he reaches toward devotees. Beside him a man in an orange robe holds a silver tray with gold items. On the left, several men in white kurtas and dhotis stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, and one man in white kneels in front with hands folded. A yellow and blue decorative hanging appears at the top left. The left and right figures are devotees and attendants; the central figure with the long hair and gold necklaces is the swami-like figure in the scene.2011-02-27A photograph of a devotional gathering under a white canopy outdoors. In the foreground, a man in a white kurta with a dark rudraksha-style mala and pendant holds a small glass or bowl and offers something to a figure beside him. That figure wears an orange saffron robe, a white and red flower garland, and a long gold necklace, and holds a tall wooden staff tied with an orange cloth. Behind them, other men in white and orange clothing and a woman with a braid stand near a draped white backdrop, with a low building in the background. The scene resembles a ritual offering or darshan moment.2009-07-07A photograph of an indoor ashram hall with a corrugated metal roof and orange-painted walls. A smiling man in white clothes and a long rudraksha mala stands at the centre, holding a bundle of white cloth. Facing him, a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange garment wears a dark rudraksha mala and extends his hands toward the man's hands. To the right, a man in orange robes and layered gold necklaces stands near a wooden tray holding small brass items. On the left, several men in white garments and identity lanyards stand watching, and a few more people are visible in the background. The long-haired figure with orange clothes and rudraksha malas is a probable candidate for Swamiji, though his appearance is only partly visible, so identification is uncertain.2010-11-03A photograph of a darshan line at an indoor ashram hall with coloured fabric hangings overhead. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with gold trim and layered gold necklaces, smiles broadly as he raises his hand to bless the forehead of a devotee. The devotee, in a white kurta with a light cord, presses palms together and smiles. To the right, a bald man in orange robes holds a silver tray with offerings. Other devotees in white and orange clothing stand in line, and a woman in a yellow-and-purple patterned top stands at the left edge. The long-haired man has distinctive saffron and gold-necklace cues consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so he is identified as a probable candidate; he is physically present.2011-01-29Annadhan in 20152015-01-01 +1 copiesOctober 26 20102010-10-26
