January 02 20102010-01-02December 01 20092009-12-01A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a red upholstered back, wearing long swept-back dark hair, a large white and multicolour flower garland and a green-and-white-beaded garland. He is bare-chested beneath the orange cloth, gesturing with a raised palm while smiling. Before him, a man in white kurta and dhoti kneels with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, several men in white with orange shawls stand near a draped red and gold backdrop, and scattered flower petals cover the floor. The distinctive saffron robe, long hair and adornments match the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, and the throne and kneeling devotee suggest a darshan setting.2007-02-24A photo from a stage event with a dark blue draped curtain behind. A seated figure in an orange saffron robe, with long swept-back dark hair and bare feet on a red cushioned footstool, sits smiling broadly on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions. A man in a white kurta and dhoti stands at left with his hands pressed together in a respectful namaste gesture, head bowed. A vase of orange and pink flowers and a water bottle sit on a small table beside the throne, and a microphone on a stand is at right. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and saffron robes consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable identification from appearance cues.2010-09-13August 13 20092009-08-13December 24 20092009-12-24A photograph of a seated man in an orange shawl over a red top, with a red vertical tilak on his forehead, smiling broadly.

The seated man wears saffron and red clothing and a shawl; the appearance cues are consistent with a person on a throne being greeted. Setting appears to be a stage or ceremonial hall.2009-08-30A seated man in orange robes and a white and red flower garland sits with palms pressed together in namaste on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet back and gold lion-form armrest.

A woman in white with her hands folded, a man in white kurta with a lanyard and folded hands, and a woman in a blue shawl sit nearby, with a partial figure at the lower edge.

A seated figure in orange robes with a white and red flower garland and a red tilak sits on a gold throne with carved lion armrests, his bare feet resting on a silver tray. A figure in orange robes with long dark hair kneels and bends forward to honour his feet, while an older man in white sits on the floor nearby. Fruit, a bottle of water, a tray of offerings and books sit on a glass side table. The seated figure's identity is not established by appearance alone, so he is described by role as the one receiving padapuja; the photo page indicates a person was present at this event.2009-09-07August 16 20092009-08-16A photograph of a seated man in orange saffron robes on an ornate golden throne with a red velvet back and carved lion-like guardian figures.
