Indoor satsang scene with two men in front of the camera pressing palms together in anjali greeting. The man at right wears white kurta, a red-brown rudraksha mala and a red-cord lanyard; he has short dark hair and a beard. The figure at left wears a maroon-red garment with gold border, red-beaded necklaces and bangles, and hair gathered in a bun; the greeting faces him. Behind them a bearded older man in white shirt with red shawl stands with hands folded, a woman in white sits, and other attendants in white and red stand near red drapes and a glass display case. No clear appearance-based cues for the a person candidate are sufficient, so the identity is unsure.2013-11-20A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a gold-bordered shawl, rudraksha mala beads and a gold ceremonial necklace, with hair in a bun and a white forehead mark, extends an arm toward a standing man in a white shirt and red tie wearing a rudraksha mala, who raises both palms in front of him. Behind them a woman in orange sits on red cushions and several men in white shirts with red shawls stand in a hall with red curtains. A hand-holding gesture and a deity-like devotional setting suggest an initiation or blessing; a bald man in a grey top with a red shawl stands at right with his hands raised.2013-11-19A photograph of a seated man in a reddish-brown robe with a gold-bordered yellow sash and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace placing his right palm on the forehead of an older man in a white kurta who kneels before him, bowing his head. The robed man has long dark hair swept back into a bun, and the setting is an indoor hall with beige walls, a golden ceremonial vessel and a peacock-feather fan at the lower left. Other people in orange and white clothing sit or stand in the background. The gesture resembles a blessing. The page indicates this is a Haridwar satsang, but the robed man's appearance shows only some cues, so the identity is uncertain.2014-03-21December 20 20132013-12-20Indoor satsang scene with a seated man in long dark hair, bare-chested under a saffron-orange wrap with a rudraksha mala and gold-trimmed clothing, sitting on a red velvet throne-like seat and smiling as he touches the forehead of a man in white ritual clothes with an orange shawl. Another man sits to the right wearing a white dhoti with gold border and a rudraksha mala. Red velvet drapes and a wall fan are in the background. Appearance-based Swamiji (probable) is the seated man on the throne, with long hair, saffron-orange wrap and rudraksha mala.2013-05-24July 24 20142014-07-24November 20 20132013-11-20March 17 20142014-03-17Indoor blessing scene. A man with long dark hair in a bun, a vertical tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and a reddish-orange wrap sits on a gold-trimmed seat, one hand raised to place on the forehead of a kneeling devotee. The devotee, with a short moustache and white shirt, bows with eyes closed and hands together, holding a red-orange cloth draped over his shoulders.2013-12-16July 06 20142014-07-06A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala of large beads and a white vertical tilak on his forehead, placing his right hand on the forehead of a bald, bearded man in a white garment with an orange-red scarf printed with text. The seated man, a probable Swamiji by appearance cues including long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold ornaments and rudraksha mala, is smiling and bestowing a blessing. Behind him stand a silver trident and gold decorative items, and a peacock-feather fan is visible at left. The setting appears to be a ceremonial stage or throne area with orange and white striped panels.2014-09-13March 21 20142014-03-21
