A photograph of a satsang hall with a standing man in a rust-red sannyasi-style robe and shawl, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, and a dark rudraksha-style mala at his chest, walking forward on a striped red-and-cream runner with his hands held together at his chest. Seated devotees line both sides in white and orange clothing, many with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind him stands an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, and a small bouquet of orange flowers appears at the left edge. The white hall has blue-draped tables and a framed picture on the back wall.2012-09-05September 08 20152015-09-08A bearded man with long dark hair stands barefoot on a striped multicolored rug at the front of a large hall, eyes closed, wearing a rust-red draped robe and a long rudraksha mala with a gold pendant.

He wears a rudraksha mala with a silver pendant, a gold necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, and he looks downward. Seated devotees on both sides wear white, many with white blindfolds, and several carry cloth bags printed with a red portrait and blue logos. Ceiling fans and a balcony with onlookers are visible, and a banner hangs on the right wall. The figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, with rudraksha mala, gold necklace and saffron clothing as cues, but identity remains uncertain.2012-09-22A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a red floral rug under a tented canopy with balloons and orange banners. He wears long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a white jasmine garland with orange flowers, and holds a tall gold trident (trishul) beside him. Seated devotees in white and other clothes surround him on the floor, and posters line the walls.2008-12-25A man in a saffron-orange silk robe with a green-and-gold border, wearing a long gold bead necklace and a gold chain, with a red bindi on his forehead and long swept-back dark hair, walks barefoot across a polished floor, one hand raised in a blessing gesture. Behind him, two men in white dhotis with maroon borders carry ritual items: one holds a white tray with a gold object, the other a silver plate. A gold-coloured figure of an animal mount and a flower-garlanded red-and-gold structure stand in the background, with a tall brass lamp stand and blue drapery behind. A small tray of offerings sits on orange cloth at left. A man with a sacred thread and shaved head stands at right beside a laptop. The visible cues fit the Swamiji candidate: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style gold beads and ceremonial gold necklace, walking as the central figure in the ritual.2010-12-28July 31 20152015-07-31A photograph inside a large hall with pink-tinted lighting and a dark red curtain backdrop. A man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing a rust-red dhoti and shawl with a gold-toned waist sash and a gold necklace, walks down a striped rug runner between two rows of people. On the left, several women in white saris with red borders press their palms together in greeting. On the right, a line of robed sannyasis in saffron and rust-red garments stand with joined hands beside long rows of banana-leaf offerings laid with food and small metal cups. Behind them, more people in white stand in the hall. Nearby, a steel tray sits on the floor, consistent with a naivedyam offering.2017-08-14May 08 20122012-05-08 +1 copies
