February 14 20142014-02-14A photograph in a stone-walled hall shows a bare-chested, long-haired man in saffron-brown cloth seated on a red upholstered throne, wearing heavy gold necklaces and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead. He smiles while extending a silver-tipped ceremonial staff toward a woman in a white blouse and orange-brown shawl who holds his wrist and wears a red thread band, appearing to tie a rakhi-style thread. Behind them, several women in white, red and teal saris and rudraksha malas stand and watch. Lit ritual setting with a small shrine-like arrangement; scene suggests a Raksha Bandhan thread-tying moment.2017-08-07A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne with red cushions, flanked by a golden lion-shaped base and a golden trident. He wears a dark sannyasi-style headpiece, a red-brown robe, a long garland of red, yellow and pink flowers, gold necklaces and gold bangles, and smiles while extending one hand. A robed attendant in orange with rudraksha malas sits at left, and two devotees in white and red kneel or bow before him at right, consistent with a pratyaksha padapuja. Probable Swamiji's appearance cues include the swept-back dark hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-toned robe.2016-05-20A seated man in a saffron-red robe with a white forehead mark and a white and orange flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms and red patterned upholstery. He rests one palm forward in blessing toward a man in white shirt and trousers who kneels with hands pressed together in namaskar. Behind them, two women in saffron-red sarees with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand on red carpet scattered with petals, and a white pillar and air conditioner are visible. The seated man matches the a person appearance cues of a saffron robe, flower garland and gold-and-rudraksha ornaments, and receiving honour from kneeling devotees on a throne fits his role, so the seated figure is a probable candidate.2014-09-21August 28 20152015-08-28February 11 20142014-02-11November 10 20152015-11-10A seated man in a rust-orange turban and saffron-gold wrap sits on a red patterned throne, with a heavy gold beaded necklace and gold armlets, holding a folded white paper and resting his chin on his fist. Kneeling before him with palms pressed together is a bearded man in a white shirt and cream vest, wearing a rudraksha mala. Behind them a woman in white sari with rudraksha malas and a forehead marking stands near a gold ornate pillar, and other people in white and orange-white garments stand nearby. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a turban, saffron-orange clothing and ornate gold necklaces, cues consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so he is treated as a probable in-person presence. The scene is a satsang-style audience with a devotee in namaskar.2015-08-02February 14 20142014-02-14November 22 20152015-11-22A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-velvet throne, wearing saffron-orange robes with yellow borders, a long orange-beaded rudraksha mala around the neck, a red bindi on the forehead and long swept-back dark hair, smiles warmly toward a man in a white kurta with a red-and-white thread bracelet and grey hair, who stands with palms pressed together in namaste and holds a folded paper. Behind the throne hang deep red velvet curtains. At right, a woman in an orange sari with yellow border and a long bead necklace stands watching, and a shaven-headed man in a white dhoti with a sacred thread sits on the floor. The seated figure matches the Swamiji appearance cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so this is a probable in-person appearance.2013-05-14November 08 20152015-11-08
