August 09 20152015-08-09Outdoor evening gathering under floodlights, with a crowd of devotees behind a barrier. A seated figure on a gold-and-red throne (peetha) with a cushion is surrounded by yellow and orange marigold garlands and red flowers. He wears a white turban, a leopard-print shawl over a white garment, and a long garland, and is smiling broadly. Devotees in white kurtas and an orange-clad man with a shawl stand close, and a person in white kneels and bows near the throne. A tray of coins, nuts and a coconut sits on the dais. A man in white with a rudraksha mala stands at left. The seated figure matches the page's Swamiji candidate by visible cues: turban, long swept-back hair and ornate garland, with clothing and adornment consistent with the cues, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) and marked in_person.2010-12-29December 18 20152015-12-18 +1 copiesOctober 22 20152015-10-22 +1 copiesJuly 11 20152015-07-11 +3 copiesMay 17 20142014-05-17A seated man in an orange-red turban and orange-red robes with a multicolour flower garland of orange, white, green and red blossoms sits on a golden ornate throne with a red patterned cushion. He holds out a yellow printed card to a young girl in a white sleeveless dress with a red thread necklace, who reaches up to take it. Behind them a woman in a red-orange sari with gold border and a rudraksha mala stands with a white forehead mark, and a golden lion-head figure rests near the throne. Banana leaves and a decorated cloth hang behind, with a crowd of saffron-clad devotees in the background. The man's appearance with a distinctive turban, garland and throne is a probable match for a person, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2015-08-09A seated person in a rust-brown turban and matching rust-brown robe with a gold edge sits on a red tiger-striped cushioned throne in front of gold carved decorations. They wear a white and orange flower garland, rudraksha beads and bangles, and place their right hand on the head of a young boy in white with a rudraksha mala, who holds their left hand with his eyes closed. A girl in pink and gold stands at the right edge. Gold lamps and a pink floral arrangement appear in the background. The scene resembles a blessing or padapuja-style darshan. Identity is not established from appearance alone; the clothing and seat suggest a presiding teacher, so the role is described without naming.2016-01-10A seated man in a golden throne with golden lion-head armrests receives a padapuja. He wears a rust-orange dhoti, a bare upper body with an armlet, a long garland of pink and white flowers with red beads, and a white tilak on his forehead. Before him, a woman in a yellow head covering and a white shawl sits on a leopard-print mat, holding incense sticks above silver trays of small lamps and offerings. A woman in a white sari with an orange border sits with palms pressed together, and a child in white sits at the lower edge. The indoor hall has a projection screen, audience seating and a golden kalasha-style pillar at right.2012-12-20A man with long swept-back dark hair sits on a brown leather throne with gold-carved lion-head armrests, a golden cobra carving on the left edge. He wears a saffron-orange draped robe with gold border, multiple rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold necklace, and a green bead strand. A small headset microphone is at his cheek. Behind him, audience members in casual clothing sit and stand in a large hall.2015-12-15 +1 copiesA photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests, draped in leopard-print cushions. He wears a rust-orange turban, orange-red cloth wrapped over his bare shoulder, multiple rudraksha mala necklaces, a gold chain, and beaded bracelets on his arms. His right hand rests on a tall silver staff while he sits before a red curtain, a microphone on a stand beside him. On a small silver side table sits a framed photo of a man in orange garments. Probable Swamiji: the saffron turban, rudraksha malas and ornate gold necklace match the page's claim, seated on a throne during a discourse.2017-11-11October 26 20152015-10-26
