A man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a red-orange shawl leans forward, joining hands over a silver tray with a seated man in a red sleeveless top draped with a pink-red flower garland and yellow marigold garland.

The seated man sits beside an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and gilded carved panels. Behind them, a younger man in orange robes stands with arms folded, and a woman in a yellow sari is partly visible. A tray of yellow and orange flowers and fruit sits on the lower left. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, matching the appearance-based cues for a person as a person seated on the throne, though this is uncertain.2009-11-17Stage event with a long-haired man in a red robe and gold necklaces seated on a throne decorated with flower garlands in red, purple and yellow. He smiles as he reaches out to touch a golden trident held by a man in a white dhoti kurta with white hair pulled back, who bows toward him.

At right, a woman in a cream sari with a colourful pattern holds the seated figure's hand. The background is a yellow and white sunburst backdrop.

A man in a bearded face, wearing a gold-brown shawl over white clothes and a white and red flower garland, holds a small wooden box or tray that a man in a white shirt and white dhoti offers toward him. To the right, an older smiling monk in an orange robe and orange shawl reaches out, and a person in red-and-white checked clothing stands at the edge. A dark backdrop is behind them. The man in the center has long hair and a full beard, but the photo shows no crown, rudraksha mala or ceremonial gold necklace, so the presenter's identity is unsure.2007-08-09Evening ceremony under a white canopy at an ashram event. A man in a saffron-orange kurta with a saffron shawl and dark-rimmed glasses stands at left, reaching toward a bowl of fruit held by a long-haired figure at right wearing a red-orange dhoti and a thick red and orange flower garland, with a bare upper body and a smile. Behind them, a bald man in brown-red robes with rudraksha beads and a wristband speaks into a microphone while holding a red booklet, and another man in a white dhoti with a yellow shawl sits near the front. A gold and yellow flower-decorated throne with a heart-shaped backdrop stands at left, with gold and pink balloons and a red cloth nearby. The long-haired figure at right is a person by appearance: long swept-back hair, saffron-red clothing and a garland, though the identification is appearance-based only.2016-01-03A photograph of a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a red undergarment, seated on a red and black tiger-striped cushioned throne in front of an ornate gold-embossed backdrop with a deity relief and a garland of yellow and red flowers.

A green leafy plant and a blue wall are behind them.2008-10-19August 09 20072007-08-09Photograph of a darshan moment on a stage decorated with orange and red marigold garlands and a gilded throne. A seated figure with long dark wavy hair wears a flowing red-orange robe and touches palms with a bald, older man in a white shirt and white dhoti who bows and clasps the seated figure's hands. Two young men in orange robes stand at left, one wearing a rudraksha mala. A white sheet of paper rests on the throne's red cushion. The page indicates the event was a Kalpataru darshan in Chennai; the seated figure appears to match the Swamiji candidate by long hair, red-orange robes and throne, so the identification is probable.2009-02-14
