A photograph of a ceremonial event on a richly decorated golden throne draped with red cushions and framed by garlands in red, yellow and white. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, a mala and a gold-coloured necklace holds a small book or card. To the left, two men in saffron robes, one bald and one with short hair, stand attending with a brass vessel. A man in white clothing stands on the right, and a woman in an orange sari with glasses and a rudraksha mala stands at the far right. Flower petals and a decorated pot are at the base of the throne. Five people are visible. Seated figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance, cues including long swept-back hair, saffron robes, and mala with gold necklace, shown seated in ceremonial honour.2008-07-17A photograph of a golden ornate throne decorated with floral garlands in red, orange and white. Seated on the throne is a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes wearing a gold necklace, holding a printed booklet in his hands, with a silver bowl and red cushion beside him. Two saffron-robed attendants stand at his left, one with a shaved head and orange shawl, the other kneeling with folded hands. A woman in orange sari with a rudraksha-style mala stands at right, and a man in white kurta stands behind. Flower petals lie on a silver vessel in front of the throne.2008-07-17Photo of a seated man in an orange sleeveless robe with a long rudraksha mala and long swept-back dark hair, sitting on a white-covered throne-like seat before red velvet drapes. He has a red tilak on his forehead and gestures with his right hand while speaking. In front of him, a man in a white shirt and dark trousers leans forward, extending his hand and holding an orange cloth. A second man in orange stands partly visible behind the seat at left. The orange robed figure is a person by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, seated in an honoured position.2010-07-13A devotee in white shirt and dhoti kneels and bows low with forehead to the floor before a gold ornate throne draped with white and pink flower garlands. A person in a long orange robe with a sleeveless orange top and orange sarong stands at left, holding a folded paper or card toward a second orange-robed figure, who wears a gold chain necklace and a rudraksha-style bead mala and holds the card as well. Behind them is a floral arrangement of orange, yellow and pink flowers and a deep navy curtain. A woman in a red sari stands at right edge. Photograph of a ceremonial welcome or pada puja at a stage. The three central figures are at a distance and do not show a clear facial identity cue for a person.2009-12-23December 31 20062006-12-31July 17 20082008-07-17Photograph of a stage event. On the right, a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a red tilak on his forehead sits on a white cushioned seat and reaches toward a man in a white shirt and dark trousers on the left, who extends both hands to receive or offer small plastic containers. Between them, a young saffron-robed attendant with a shaved head sits holding pink and clear containers. Behind them stand a vase of red and white flowers, a water bottle, a brass item and a decorative saffron-and-blue banner. The person on the right has distinctive long swept hair, orange robes and a red tilak, consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the appearance cues are not conclusive enough to confirm identity.2008-03-23August 21 20092009-08-21A seated man in an orange saffron robe with a long, swept-back hairstyle and beaded mala necklaces sits on an ornate golden throne with a magenta cushion, speaking to a seated group in a hall with a blue curtain and a projection screen behind. Platters of fruit, sweets and red offerings sit on a golden tray in front of the seated devotees. Beside the throne, a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti and shawl with tripundra marks sits near a woman in a white sari, a man in a blue polo shirt with a name badge, and several devotees in saris and kurtas. At the left edge, a man in orange robes sits beside a microphone stand. A projector and water bottle rest on a wooden stand by the throne.2011-01-23A seated figure in a saffron-orange top with long dark hair, on a white throne-like chair, places a hand on the head of an older man in a grey shirt during a blessing at an indoor hall. Nearby, a woman in saffron and a man in orange stand close, and a woman in white with a yellow shawl holds a tray. Trays of offerings with fruit and sweets sit in the foreground, and white-clad devotees stand and crouch around the seat. Red curtains and a colourful textile hang on the back wall. The scene suggests a darshan blessing, with a yellow-shawled attendant and a rudraksha-free devotee line visible.2008-03-26July 15 20112011-07-15March 23 20082008-03-23
