October 25 20152015-10-25A smiling man in a red-orange robe with a tall red and gold turban, long dark hair, a gold beaded necklace and red rudraksha-style mala sits on an ornately carved white throne with a leopard-print cushion. His right arm is extended outward while a man in white kneels and bows his head toward him, receiving the blessing. Behind them, a woman in a dark outfit and a woman in a white sari with a beaded mala stand near a framed portrait of a seated figure. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears long hair, a turban, saffron-red clothing and ornate necklaces, and occupies the throne in a blessing posture.2018-04-30April 09 20142014-04-09December 26 20132013-12-26Photo 11742611 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremonial padapuja-style honouring at a seated teacher on a silver and gold throne with a red cushioned seat. The seated man wears a red-maroon turban, rudraksha malas and beaded armbands, a maroon robe with gold trim, and a gold necklace; he rests one hand on the head of a bare-chested devotee who bows low at his feet, the devotee wearing a white dhoti with gold border and white markings on the body. Two attendants in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas stand behind, one holding a small card. A red footstool and a silver staff stand beside the throne against a dark red curtain. Appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable) as the seated figure, with a long swept hair, turban, rudraksha malas and ornate gold necklace; the page notes Swamiji at this event.2018-03-09October 22 20152015-10-22 +1 copiesFebruary 14 20142014-02-14A photograph of a seated man in a red-maroon robe and matching red turban with a gold ornament, wearing long white-and-pink flower garlands and gold beads, smiling with eyes closed on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a golden shell-patterned back. A devotee in white dhoti kneels at his feet, which rest in a metal basin of water, while women in orange and white saris stand behind. The setting suggests a ritual padapuja. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by the red turban, saffron-toned robe, garlands and throne cues.2017-07-08 +1 copiesA photo of a seated figure in a rust-orange turban and orange-brown draped garment with gold borders, wearing gold bangles and multi-strand gold necklaces and a leopard-print cloth, placing a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a grey kurta.

A bald man in orange clothes with a beaded mala stands behind him with palms pressed together. Behind them, a line of people in orange and red garments stands, some holding staffs or rudraksha malas. In the foreground, a bearded older man in white dhoti and white shirt stands beside a woman in a red shawl, while a young girl in an orange garment kneels on the floor before the throne, her head bowed toward the seated man's feet, and flower petals lie scattered on the ground.

Behind them, a crowd of devotees in saffron and red garments and rudraksha malas stands under a decorated canopy with a trident and festoons. A woman in the foreground with folded hands and an elderly man in white with an orange shawl watch. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears long swept-back hair, saffron robes, ceremonial gold-bordered cloth and a layered rudraksha mala, cues consistent with the page's attribution of Swamiji's presence.2013-12-26
