September 16 20132013-09-16September 16 20132013-09-16A seated man in a rust-orange turban and orange shawl sits on a brown leather throne-like chair in a hall, smiling broadly, with a gold necklace and a dark mala visible. Around him, seated devotees in white and orange-red shawls fill the floor and chairs, many facing the central figure. Red and gold decor, framed photos on a red wall and a framed picture on the far wall surround the gathering. The person on the throne shows probable Swamiji cues: a turban, ceremonial gold necklace and orange clothing, consistent with the page's attribution to Swamiji at this event.2015-10-22 +1 copiesDecember 12 20162016-12-12April 24 20162016-04-24July 15 20152015-07-15 +2 copiesA large hall decorated with hanging colourful paper lanterns and strings of tassels shows a dense crowd of seated participants, mostly women in saffron, orange, purple, blue and white saris and salwar kameez, with some men in white and orange kurtas. In the centre, a man in a deep red-maroon robe with a red turban sits on an ornate golden throne-like chair with gilded armrests, gesturing with one hand. A screen above shows a close-up of a similarly dressed figure, and cameras on a platform stand at the left. Participants sit on red carpet and floor mats, some holding papers. The setting suggests a satsang or discourse with the seated teacher.2016-12-06A photograph of a crowd of devotees gathered closely around a seated figure on a red raised dais at a Kalpataru darshan event. The seated man on the left wears an orange-saffron turban and orange robe with long dark braided hair, a multi-coloured flower garland and rudraksha-style beads, and he is smiling while people reach toward him. Devotees around him include women in white, red and green saris with gold necklaces, men in pink and yellow shirts, and a bald man in white dhoti wearing a gold necklace. A golden lion-head ornament sits on the dais in the foreground. Behind them stands a large crowd, stage lights and a camera on a tripod. Appearance-based cues (turban, saffron robe, flower garland, braided hair) suggest the page's a person seated on the dais, but the image is not conclusive.2016-04-30December 06 20162016-12-06A bearded man with long dark hair wrapped in a red-orange turban sits smiling on an ornate silver and red throne, wearing an orange-rust saffron robe draped over one shoulder and holding a tall silver staff. Seated audience members in white, orange and teal clothing fill the hall in front of him, and a large screen behind shows another saffron-clad figure. The throne-seated man in saffron, with his distinctive hair and turban, is a person in a teaching role. Several people are visible in the foreground and midground, with a large crowd beyond.2016-12-17December 12 20162016-12-12A crowded indoor hall full of devotees. In the centre, a bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange shawl over a bare chest, smiles while walking through the crowd. Behind him, a tall golden trident (trishul) stands at left. Devotees wear white, orange and green clothing, and several have sandalwood or tilak marks on their foreheads. A man in white with a rudraksha mala stands near the left. Large screens behind the crowd show images of people. Cues for the central man include long swept-back hair, saffron shawl, and rudraksha-style adornment, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.2016-12-09
