December 23 20072007-12-23Photograph of an indoor satsang setting with a red curtain backdrop. A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, gold earrings, a beaded necklace and an orange saffron shawl over a dark garment embraces a man in a white shirt who leans in to hug him. A second man in white stands blurred in the background. The seated figure, with his distinctive long hair, ornate necklace and saffron garments, is a probable Swamiji, depicted in the moment of a devotee's embrace.2012-07-07A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a red bindi on his forehead, eyes closed, while a man in a white t-shirt with the printed word Dhyanapeetam and a website URL embraces him, one hand resting on the seated man's face. They sit on a cream-upholstered chair before a deep red velvet curtain, with a microphone stand and green cable at right. The orange-robed man has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so the appearance-based candidate is Swamiji (probable) seated in person, in a moment of intimate blessing with a devotee.2007-01-27A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a long white-and-orange flower garland, a red bindi on the forehead and long swept-back hair, sitting on a white cushioned seat before dark red drapes. A person in white clothes leans forward with hands on the seated figure's head in blessing, while a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style mala raises his palms in a gesture of reverence beside them. A second person in orange sits at the right edge. Appearance-based label: a person, who wears saffron robes, a long flower garland and sits in the central position of honour. The scene suggests a blessing during an ashram gathering.2007-12-23July 07 20122012-07-07A photograph taken at night in a tent-like venue with white fabric walls and orange marigold garlands hung along the back. A long-haired man with a red tilak on his forehead, wearing an orange cloth over his shoulders, a white and gold garland, and a bare upper body, smiles broadly while embracing another man seen from behind. The second man wears a white shirt with dotted pattern and an orange shawl. Dim background with a stand and an orange cloth at the left edge.2006-06-04July 07 20122012-07-07A photograph of a long-haired figure in an orange saffron shawl draped over a bare chest, with a red bindi on the forehead, placing both hands on the head of a seated man in a white kurta. Deep maroon drapes hang in the background. The figure with long swept-back hair and saffron wrap matches the a person cues, so this is a probable appearance-based candidate giving a blessing during a darshan or pada puja-style exchange.2011-12-11A photograph of an indoor event in front of a deep red velvet curtain. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and red bindi sits on a pale white throne-like chair, smiling broadly. A younger man in a white t-shirt leans in to embrace him from the side, arm around his shoulders. On the left, a bald man in white clothing with an orange-red scarf stands watching. Three people are visible. The seated man shows distinctive saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, but his appearance alone is not enough to confirm identity, so the label remains uncertain.2010-07-29A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron sleeveless robe and a red bindi on his forehead, smiling, on a golden ornate throne decorated with a garland of red, purple and white flowers. A man in white kurta and white dhoti stands bent forward at left, placing his hands on the seated man's shoulders. The throne sits on a red cloth with a zebra-stripe pattern against a blue painted backdrop with a rocky, cloth-draped setting.2009-07-01A man in orange sleeveless robes with a long row of dark rudraksha beads and a red bindi smiles broadly while seated on a cream-colored throne-like chair in front of a deep red velvet drape. His right hand rests on the shoulder of a man in a white shirt whose back faces the camera, and an orange-shawled attendant stands at the left edge. The setting appears to be an ashram hall during an evening darshan session.2010-07-07June 22 20082008-06-22
