Small barred windows and green banana leaves are visible outside, and bamboo poles frame the doorway at right. No people are present in the frame.

A long-haired person in a saffron-orange robe stands with palms joined at the chest, smiling, bare-footed, beside a red-cushioned seat with a red bolster. Three men in white shirts and dhotis stand facing him; the man in the centre holds a red-and-gold shawl. A stand with an orange basket and a stack of white cloths sits at left, and a second saffron-robed attendant stands at right.2006-07-25A thatched-roof open hall with bamboo rafters and palm-leaf walls, lit warmly at night. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a red-cushioned raised throne at the far end, with a small table and microphone in front. Seated devotees in white and pastel clothes fill the pink-tiled central aisle and side benches, facing the throne. A standing attendant in white stands at the left near a television screen. Oil lamps and offerings sit on the floor before the dais, and potted plants line the side. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in saffron on the throne, identifiable by the saffron robe, long swept-back hair and the ceremonial setting.2006-11-18July 16 20142014-07-16 +1 copiesA photograph inside a thatched-roof hut with a pink-trimmed alcove. A long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe sits on a raised pink throne draped with red cushions and a red cloth, holding a walking cane. A man in a white shirt kneels at the throne's side, bending forward and holding an object in his hands in a gesture of reverence. A red flower rests on the thatch behind the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and an orange robe, cues consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, presented as a seated guru receiving a devotee at a throne.2006-10-08July 22 20102010-07-22
