Another person in an orange garment and red-bordered cloth sits at the left edge, their bare feet visible in the foreground. The scene suggests a puja offering. The man wears dark-rimmed glasses and a ring. Possible a person candidate: the man in white with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and no visible crown or saffron robe; appearance is uncertain, so role is given as priest.2011-11-15A man seated in lotus position on a red velvet throne with an ornate gold carved backrest, hands pressed together in anjali mudra at his face, eyes closed. He wears a white dhoti and white shawl with gold borders, a rudraksha mala necklace with a turquoise pendant, and rudraksha bracelets on his wrists and upper arms. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. A microphone stands at his side, and a green forest backdrop is behind the throne. The page identifies this as a satsang discourse, and the long hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold-bordered white clothing are consistent with the Swamiji (probable) presentation, seated in the speaker's position.2011-02-14November 15 20112011-11-15December 31 20102010-12-31A photograph of a seated figure in front of an ornate gold throne-back decorated with orange, yellow and white flowers and green foliage. The seated man has long dark hair swept back, eyes closed, white sacred ash marks on the forehead and a red bindi, wearing a cream and gold-bordered garment and a heavy gold necklace. In the foreground a man with short dark hair wears a white shirt and raises both open palms toward him in blessing or invocation, while a water bottle and brass items sit at the lower left. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure on the throne, with his long hair, cream and gold clothing and gold necklace.2010-12-06A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits with eyes closed and palms pressed together in namaste at his forehead. He wears an orange saffron garment, a dark rudraksha mala, and a white beaded shawl over his shoulders, with a red tilak mark on his forehead. Behind him is an ornate gold throne back with repoussé floral and paisley carving on a red cushion. The setting suggests a ceremonial seat during a satsang or pada puja.
