December 11 20112011-12-11December 11 20112011-12-11A smiling man with long, dark, wavy hair and a red bindi sits on a red cushioned seat before a gold-carved throne back and deep red curtains. He wears an orange saffron garment draped over the shoulders and a black cord around the neck, and he rests his hand on the head of an orange cloth doll wrapped in a saffron cloth. A hand at the right edge holds a folded white paper slip. The subject is visibly a seated, honoured figure with ceremonial dress, so the appearance-based cues are long hair, saffron clothing and a seat before a gold throne, which qualify as a probable Swamiji candidate present in person.2011-12-11December 11 20112011-12-11December 17 20092009-12-17A seated man with long, swept-back black hair wears a draped orange-saffron cloth over his shoulders and a small red bindi on his forehead, with his hands folded in his lap.

Appearance-based identification of Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron clothing and red forehead mark are present, with an ornate gold throne, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this satsang. Only one person is physically present.2010-12-02A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits with eyes lowered and a faint smile, wearing an orange saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders and a sleeveless orange garment beneath.

Behind him stands an ornate gold repoussé backdrop with scrolling floral patterns, and a microphone stands at the right edge. The composition suggests a seated discourse or satsang moment.2009-12-20A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe draped across his chest and a red bindi on his forehead.
