October 30 20162016-10-30A photograph in a red-draped hall with a golden throne-like structure at left and a carved stone pillar behind. A bearded man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing an orange-red wrap, rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, sits and gestures with his right hand toward a man in a navy striped shirt and glasses who leans in to receive it. A woman in a rust-coloured sari with a rudraksha mala and a trident-pendant stands behind them holding a microphone, and a man in a red garment stands at right. Four people are visible. The seated figure's cues are distinctive enough for a probable identification, so he is described as a person receiving a visitor.2016-10-30A photograph of a seated bearded man with long hair, bare-chested under a saffron-orange wrap, wearing a garland of flowers and rudraksha malas and several beaded red-orange bracelets, extending his hand toward a standing man in a red-brown shirt seen from behind on the right. Beside them a woman in an orange-red sari with long hair and rudraksha beads stands near a golden carved pillar, and another woman in red-orange sari with a long rudraksha mala and a hair bun smiles at the scene. Behind them a gold throne-like structure, red curtains and a standing fan fill the room, and a bright light flares at the right edge. The seated man has a distinctive presentation with long hair, beard, rudraksha and saffron wrap, though his appearance is not conclusively verifiable, so the identification is probable.2016-10-30October 30 20162016-10-30A seated man in rust-orange robes with long dark hair and a long rudraksha-style mala sits on a gold-carved throne with red cushions, smiling as he holds small objects in his hands. A devotee in a grey shirt, orange-beaded neck garland and glasses kneels before him, reaching toward his hands. Behind them, a woman in a cream and gold sari and another attendant in rust-orange robes with a beaded necklace stand near potted green plants and a deep red curtain. The seated man shows distinctive long swept hair, rudraksha mala and orange ceremonial robes, a compatible presentation for the page's subject, though the image is not clear enough to confirm identity.2016-05-11July 07 20172017-07-07A photograph of a ritual in progress before a gilded, carved golden backdrop with a red cushion. A bare-chested man in white sacred marks on his shoulders and a sacred thread stands at left with his back to the camera. At centre, a man with long swept-back hair, white forehead band and red mark, wears a rust-red wrap, a heavy gold bead necklace, rudraksha-style beads on his arms, and earrings; he looks down and holds a small object in his cupped hands. At right, a woman in a dark top and silver bracelet extends her hand toward him, and a flower-decorated staff rises beside the throne. Wooden latticed windows form the background. Multiple elements suggest a puja or darshan setting.2017-09-27A photograph of a bearded man seated on a red velvet-covered throne beside a golden ornate carved panel and golden deity figure. He wears saffron-orange robes, a long rudraksha mala with golden beads and a large gold pendant, orange rudraksha armbands, a red tilak on his forehead, and long dark hair. He leans toward a second man kneeling before him, who wears a white dhoti with a gold border, an orange rudraksha mala, and a red-orange bead bracelet, holding a red fruit in cupped hands. Behind them a standing woman in red-orange sari with rudraksha malas and a golden ornament, next to a golden trident and red curtain. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, and is seated on a throne in a darshan setting.2016-10-30October 11 20152015-10-11July 10 20152015-07-10A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and layered gold necklaces, wearing an orange-red shawl over a dark garment, leaning forward to place his hand on the head of a standing man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl and rudraksha mala. A woman in a blue-and-black sari and a small child stand nearby, and a man in a white shirt watches from the left. A golden throne with red cushions and red drapery forms the backdrop. The seated figure with long hair and gold necklaces is a distinctive presentation, but the appearance cues are not conclusive, so the candidate is marked unsure. The seated figure has his right hand extended palm up toward the kneeling devotee.2016-07-17October 13 20152015-10-13
