A seated figure in a rust-red turban and rust-red garment with a yellow-and-gold sash, wearing a rudraksha-style bead mala and gold bangles, places his hand on the head of a young boy in a white polo shirt with a red collar. The boy holds a drawing with colourful marks. Behind them stands a woman in a white sari with a red bindi and braided hair, and a woman in an orange-and-brown sari with a gold necklace. Behind the seated figure is an ornate gold throne backrest and a display of gold and jewelled deity garments and ornaments, with a red curtain in the background.2015-10-24May 28 20132013-05-28A seated figure in a red-orange turban and an orange-and-gold wrap, wearing a yellow flower garland and a bare-shouldered look with a sandalwood mark, sits on a gold-carved throne against a red tent backdrop, extending a hand to receive an offering. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers bends forward, holding out a small orange fruit, while a young boy in a yellow outfit kneels beside him. Several women in saris, one in green and one in orange, stand in the background. This appears to be a darshan moment where devotees offer fruit to the seated figure; the seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable), identified by the turban, garland, orange wrap and throne cues.2015-10-25May 09 20142014-05-09October 15 20152015-10-15October 24 20152015-10-24A seated figure in a rust-red turban and a gold-and-brown robe places a hand on the head of a young boy in a white polo shirt with a red-and-white collar. The boy stands before a red-draped altar with gold decorations and garlands. Beside him a woman in an orange-and-gold shawl watches, and another woman in a red sari and a gold-trimmed shawl stands behind. In the background, other women in orange-red saris hold papers and stand near the altar. A probable Swamiji appears as the seated figure, with a turban and ornate gold necklaces and a rudraksha mala, performing a blessing. The scene suggests a darshan and blessing setting.2015-10-24A seated person in a rust-brown turban and matching rust-brown robe with a gold edge sits on a red tiger-striped cushioned throne in front of gold carved decorations. They wear a white and orange flower garland, rudraksha beads and bangles, and place their right hand on the head of a young boy in white with a rudraksha mala, who holds their left hand with his eyes closed. A girl in pink and gold stands at the right edge. Gold lamps and a pink floral arrangement appear in the background. The scene resembles a blessing or padapuja-style darshan. Identity is not established from appearance alone; the clothing and seat suggest a presiding teacher, so the role is described without naming.2016-01-10A photograph of a seated man in a rust-brown turban and bare-shouldered rust-and-gold robe, wearing a multi-strand gold necklace and gold armlet, reaching out to touch the head of a kneeling man in a rust-coloured turban and orange garment with rudraksha-style beads. Behind them, a woman in white with a red bindi and beaded necklace smiles, and a young boy in a plaid shirt watches. The seated man sits before a golden throne with ornate carvings, and a red velvet cushion and draped silks in green, purple and red fill the background. Around them stand people in white and orange clothing.2015-10-24A seated figure in a rust-red turban and saffron-and-gold robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, placing a hand on the forehead of a shaved-headed man in a white t-shirt with an orange shawl, who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. A cameraman in white clothes photographs behind them, and a woman in white with a brown shawl and beaded necklace stands at right against a red draped backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a rust-red turban and saffron-gold robe with a gold ceremonial chain on a throne, a distinctive cluster of cues, so the in-person identity is a probable appearance-based candidate.2015-10-25October 15 20152015-10-15May 07 20142014-05-07
