A seated woman with long dark wavy hair wears a bright orange saffron robe draped over one shoulder and sits in a wooden armchair with a white cushion. A small white-clothed table in front holds a plate of bananas, a steel tumbler and a mobile phone. A man in white dhoti and white shirt with an orange-bordered shawl prostrates full-length on the floor before her. To the right, a standing attendant in white dhoti and orange shawl holds his hands together. Behind them are a flip chart easel, a low wooden table with a white cloth, and two round decorative plaques on a beige wall.2007-07-02August 02 20092009-08-02October 01 20062006-10-01August 17 20062006-08-17A photograph of a stage at a convention. A seated figure in saffron/orange robes with long dark swept-back hair and a red bindi sits on a cushioned white throne-style chair, one hand raised in a gesture. Behind him, another person in orange clothing stands near an ornate gold-carved chair. In front, a man in white kurta kneels with palms pressed together, head bowed, in a gesture of reverence, beside a small white box and scattered flowers on a red cloth. A woman in a white sari leans in at the right edge, a fan and dark curtain stand behind. Swamiji appearance is a probable candidate by the seated figure's orange robes, long hair and red bindi, though identity is uncertain.2007-01-05July 02 20072007-07-02A photograph of a padapuja ritual on a stage with a red and gold backdrop. A seated man in orange robes with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, holding an orange fruit and smiling. Two devotees in white clothes lie prostrate on a striped rug, one kissing the seated man's bare feet while the other bows low. A standing man in orange robes with long curly hair stands at left, and a woman in a white top with a grey shawl stands at right beside a small table with a microphone and a small bottle and offerings. The seated man matches the candidate appearance of Swamiji, with long hair and orange robes, so the presence is probable.2009-11-17A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long dark swept-back hair and a white vertical forehead mark, smiling, sitting on a floor cushion in a room with a wooden coffee table holding a magazine. A devotee in an orange-and-cream striped sari with a long braid kneels with bent head before him, hands near the floor. Pink flower garland lies on the floor near a black bag and papers at the lower left. A man in white dhoti stands at the upper right. Wall and chair in background. Probable Swamiji (orange robes, long hair, forehead mark); the person is seated on a cushion and presented with a devotee prostrating.2008-04-06A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with a long white jasmine garland and red rose garland sits on a white upholstered throne-like chair, smiling, with long dark hair swept back. Before him a man in white ritual clothes with a red shawl kneels and bows his head, touching his forehead to the seated figure's feet, which rest on a large ornate gold tray or plate holding flower petals. Another man in white clothes with a red shawl stands behind with hands clasped, and a person in white stands at the left edge. A white desk fan and a red-and-silver tripod stand are visible in the background, along with a dark red curtain. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji, identified by the saffron robe, long swept-back hair and garland, and seated in a throne-like chair while being honoured in a padapuja.2010-07-24A seated figure in orange saffron robes with long dark hair and a dark rudraksha mala raises one hand while sitting in a wooden chair on a red-orange mat. A woman in a white sari with gold border kneels with her forehead bowed to the floor before a brass tray holding green leaves and a steel tumbler, in what appears to be a padapuja-style veneration. Behind them another person in white and a figure in orange stand on the carpeted floor, and a table draped in white cloth with flowers and a small altar sits in the background. Water bottles and a brass bowl are set on the floor. Probable Swamiji is seated in the chair, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala as the presentation cues.2007-11-12A seated man in an orange saffron robe with a red bindi on his forehead smiles warmly on an orange-upholstered chair with a red cushion. A devotee in a white shirt kneels before him at left, hands pressed together in a respectful namaskar, head bowed. Behind them is a wooden tray with compartments holding bananas and purple flowers, and a golden tray with red apples and a copper bowl sit on a stone ledge with brass ritual vessels, lamps and a white-clad attendant with an orange shawl. Overlapping text reads a copyright line and source credit in the lower right corner. The scene suggests a darshan moment.2010-07-06Indoor photo of a monastic training event on a stage draped with deep maroon curtains.

Beside them a figure in white clothes and an orange sash bends forward toward the seat. On the left, a bald older man in a white shirt and glasses stands near a small gold deity murti, a potted flower arrangement and a brass vessel. A white board stands on a stand at right, and a small CRT monitor sits on a cabinet at left. Orange cloth hangs from the upper left corner.2006-08-17
