A photograph in a bookshelf-lined room where a seated elderly man with white hair, glasses, a grey-green sweater, orange dhoti and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace sits in a red-cushioned chair. A long-haired man with a gold necklace and orange cloth stands at left facing him. At right, a smiling man in white dhoti and shawl with gold border and a rudraksha mala stands with hands folded, surrounded by several men in white dhotis, several with vertical tilak marks, some with hands raised in greeting. A silver tray sits on a table in the foreground, and a wooden door and bookshelves fill the background. Approximately eight to ten people are visible.2017-07-23July 23 20172017-07-23A seated bearded man in long dreadlocks and a rust-orange robe leans forward and touches the cheek of a smiling man in a white dhoti and white shirt. Behind them, a man in an orange wrap and rudraksha mala stands by a bookshelf, and an elderly bespectacled man in a green and striped top, with a rudraksha mala, sits in the background beside a seated figure in a saffron-orange shawl wearing a large yellow flower garland. Another white-clad devotee stands at the right edge with palms joined. The setting appears to be a library-like room with shelves of books and brass items.2017-07-23Photo of a ceremonial padapuja on a silver throne. A seated man in a rust-red turban, rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklace, wearing a red-brown shawl, smiles and holds a small offering dish while his bare feet are washed. A shirtless man in white dhoti with gold border kneels before him with white body markings, and bare-chested attendants in orange stand behind. The silver throne has ornate silver posts, a red cushion and a draped white backdrop.

Behind them an elderly man in orange with a beaded mala sits on an ornate gold-leaf throne with a red velvet cushion. The indoor room has cream walls, a maroon curtain, a standing fan, and a stack of books on a red cushioned seat. A mic headset is visible on the seated man. The orange-clad man with the long swept-back hair and gold necklaces matches Swamiji (probable), seated on a red cushioned seat distributing books to devotees. Five people are visible.2013-10-28A seated man with long dreadlocked hair, bare-chested, wearing a saffron-orange cloth and a heavy gold necklace, smiles at the people around him in a bookshelf-lined room. Beside him, a bearded man in a dark green sweater and saffron-orange dhoti, with a rudraksha mala, sits in a red armchair next to a silver tray on a stand. Behind them, a shaved-headed man in white with a rudraksha mala holds a small bowl, and a man in white stands at the right holding up a large cut-out printed cardboard figure of a smiling bearded figure in saffron robes, yellow garlands and an orange turban.

On the right, a bare-chested man with long dreadlocked hair, a tilak on his forehead, layered gold and coral beaded necklaces, a coral bangle and an orange-red cloth draped over his shoulder raises his hand in blessing toward a bald, bare-chested older man on the left, who kneels with palms pressed together and an orange shawl and rudraksha mala around his neck. Between them stands a small brass deity murti and a brass oil lamp. Several robed attendants in orange and saffron wraps stand in the background.
