He wears a gold headband with a central red bindi, a long gold and bead necklace, and a gold chain, with long dark hair swept back. His hands rest folded in his lap and he gazes forward calmly. Dark blue drapery hangs behind the throne, and the dim shapes of seated audience members, including one whose head is visible at the lower left, sit in front. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, long swept-back hair, gold headband and ceremonial gold necklaces on a floral-decorated throne are consistent with the page's identification of Swamiji seated in a darshan setting. Two people are visible.2010-12-27January 03 20102010-01-03A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on a gold ornate throne decorated with a large arched garland of red, yellow, purple and white flowers.

Dark blue drapes hang behind him, with gold carved side tables and a red cushion on either side. Blurred heads of audience members in the foreground face the throne.2010-12-27A seated figure in an orange saffron garment sits on a red-cushioned golden throne on a flower-decorated float at night. The float is heaped with yellow and orange marigold garlands, green leaves, white flower strands and pink blooms. Behind the throne, a palm frond and marigold garlands frame the scene, with a water fountain spraying in the background and strung garlands overhead. The figure has long dark hair swept back and wears a saffron shawl over orange clothing, a combination that fits the a person appearance cues, seated in a ceremonial procession setting. Gold ornamental ironwork and a red cloth-draped base complete the float.2010-01-04 +1 copiesA seated man sits cross-legged in meditation on a red cushioned throne framed by a large arch of marigolds and white flowers in yellow, purple, red and white. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a heavy gold necklace of beads with a gold pendant, a gold armlet and a gold headband with a red tilak on the forehead, and his long dark hair falls to his shoulders. A microphone stands at his right, a blue curtain hangs behind him, and gold-carved side tables flank the dais. Printed copyright text overlays the lower right corner.2010-12-27September 30 20082008-09-30A man in orange saffron robes sits on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet cushions, arms folded across his chest and eyes lowered. A red bindi marks his forehead and a thin necklace is visible. The throne is framed by a curved arch of marigold-like flowers in red, yellow, white and purple. The setting appears to be a hall with a red-brown wall behind. Whether this is the a person candidate cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the person is described by role as a seated devotee in saffron robes on a throne.2011-03-03August 09 20092009-08-09A photograph of a man seated with eyes closed on an ornate golden throne decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, purple flowers and green leaves. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe, a long dark rudraksha mala around his neck, and has long dark hair with a red tilak on his forehead. A green parrot perches on the top of the throne. Flower arrangements of white lilies, pink flowers and red carnations sit on a wooden table to the right, with a red-and-gold cloth and apples at the lower left. A painted deity backdrop with red and orange tones hangs behind the throne, and dark curtains hang on the right wall. Appearance-based cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas are present, matching the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable identification of the seated figure, seated in ritual meditation posture on the throne.2010-10-16
