March 03 20132013-03-03A seated man in orange-brown robes on a red-cushioned throne smiles broadly while wearing a large garland of white, red and yellow flowers and a rudraksha mala. A long dark braid of hair is wrapped on top of his head, and he wears gold bangles on his right arm. In front of him a man in a cream kurta kneels, and a man in white with a rudraksha mala stands with palms pressed together beside a woman in red-orange clothing with long dreadlocks. A gold-plated backdrop with a golden relief, a red and yellow flower-decorated arch behind the throne, and a gold vessel with loose flowers suggest a ritual offering setting. Probable Swamiji: the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, ornate gold armband and jewellery, and a garland, and the page identifies him as present.2016-07-19A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-carved armrests, draped with tiger-skin cloth at its base, wearing a rust-orange robe, a rudraksha mala with golden beads, a white-and-green-and-red flower garland and a smaller ornamental necklace, smiling with an earpiece microphone visible. Two men in white ritual clothes, one with an orange sash, stand in front of him with their backs to the camera, and a third man in white with orange sash appears behind them. Behind the throne stands a gilded deity murti with a tall crown and a golden kalasha-like backdrop. The man on the throne fits Swamiji (probable) on appearance cues of long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate golden necklace, shown seated in a satsang setting.2013-05-13A photograph of a ceremonial gathering at a shrine-like stage.

On the right, several women in white saris with red borders stand with hands pressed together in greeting. Behind the throne hang dark blue drapes.

An older devotee in white clothes bends forward to touch the figure's feet while a man in orange with a sash bows at the right. A golden trident and ornate golden canopy stand behind.
