A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead stands with palms pressed together in namaste, his other hand open toward a hanging brass oil lamp. He wears a rust-red sleeveless robe with gold borders, a thick rudraksha-style bead belt at the waist, and layered white jasmine garlands with red and yellow flower clusters, plus a gold bead necklace and gold earring. Behind him is an ornate gold throne. To the right, a partly visible seated figure in a red garment and red headwear sits beside another brass lamp.2014-10-03A photograph of a standing person in profile wearing a rust-red turban with a small gold clip, a red-orange wrap over the shoulders and a gold-bordered waistcloth. Heavy red flower garlands with gold-toned bead and floral ornaments hang across the chest, with a gold armlet on the upper arm and a blue-and-gold bangle on the wrist. The hands are pressed together in anjali. Behind, a tall gold staff, orange-and-gold ceremonial umbrellas and a figure of a deity or ornamented statue stand in a decorated hall, with seated devotees at the lower right.2015-07-06July 06 20152015-07-06A smiling man in a rust-red and gold-bordered cloth stands in profile with palms pressed together in namaste and one hand open to the side. He wears layered white and red-orange floral garlands, a dense gold-and-dark rudraksha-style bead mala, a gold pendant, earrings, a white forehead mark with a red dot, and a beaded rust-and-gold waist band. Behind him are a gold-embossed throne or altar panel, hanging brass chains and a lit brass oil lamp with a flame.

He wears a rust-orange draped garment with gold-coloured borders, a long gold ceremonial necklace with a large pendant set with green and red stones, and a red bindi on his forehead. His long dark hair is swept back. Behind him is a backdrop of red, yellow, green and white flowers, with a gold ceremonial object at the lower right. Stone-like floral arrangements suggest a formal satsang stage. Appearance-based identification is probable: long swept-back hair, saffron-orange draped clothing and a ceremonial gold necklace match the page's reference to Swamiji speaking at this event, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable), delivering a discourse.2013-07-01September 09 20132013-09-09 +1 copiesApril 30 20152015-04-30September 27 20142014-09-27A smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi stands on a red cushion before an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and a gold canopy. He wears a maroon silk dhoti with broad gold borders over a maroon top, a heavy gold necklace with a lotus pendant, a rudraksha mala, gold armbands and bangles. His palms are raised together in greeting with eyes closed. Potted green plants flank the throne and a microphone stand is at left. The probable Swamiji cues are the long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and the ceremonial throne setting.

He wears a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti with a matching shawl, a white-and-orange flower garland, and a long rudraksha mala, with a white and red tilak on his forehead. Both hands are raised, palms outward, in a gesture of blessing or greeting. A candidate for a person is shown by saffron-red ceremonial robes, a flower garland and rudraksha beads, though the face is not used to decide identity. A small green plant appears in the lower left corner.2015-06-03 +2 copiesApril 22 20152015-04-22
