May 20 20142014-05-20A seated woman in saffron-orange robes with a long rudraksha mala and a red-and-white floral garland sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, holding a silver trident-like staff upright and smiling. Seated on blue carpeting before her, a shaved-headed figure in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits beside a man in white with an orange shawl, hands joined in prayer, and several women in white and orange clothing kneel with brass plates of flowers and offerings. Another gold throne with red cushions and gold lion figures stands behind them, with a framed picture on the wall. The a person cues here are a swept-back hairstyle, saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial garland on the throned figure; this is an appearance-based candidate only, and the caption is not used to attribute identity.2014-05-20June 15 20132013-06-15December 17 20112011-12-17June 25 20152015-06-25A man in orange robes and layered beaded necklaces sits on an ornate brown wooden throne with gold-trimmed backrest and red cushion, a footstool before him on a leopard-print mat on a wooden stage. Golden lion sculptures flank the throne, and flower arrangements with purple and orange blooms sit at either side. In the foreground at right, a woman in a red garment with hair pulled back is seen from behind beside a black speaker. Green foliage and grey drapes form the backdrop.2012-12-19A photograph of a stage satsang. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and an ochre-saffron wrap with gold border, sits on a red velvet throne flanked by golden lion statues, gesturing with his right hand while speaking into a headset microphone. Two women in ochre saffron sarees with gold borders sit beside him: the one on the left wears a black bead necklace and holds her hands together, the one on the right wears a rudraksha mala and looks down at a mobile phone. A large backdrop shows a painted face and a hand. A low gold-trimmed stool sits in front of the throne on a red patterned rug. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, a rudraksha mala and a throne setting; the throne is noted only as context.2013-07-22A seated man in orange robes sits on a red velvet throne set on a raised red-cushioned dais, holding a silver staff in one hand and a small object in the other, wearing a long gold-bead necklace. Before him, a woman in a white sari sits on the floor with palms pressed together in namaste, and a shaven-headed man in orange robes kneels at the right, also with palms joined. Behind the throne is a painted backdrop of a stone temple gateway with orange and colourful garlands, flanked by a large forest tree scene. Brass lamps stand on either side. The seated figure matches the Swamiji candidate by appearance: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace, so the identification is probable. Overhead, fluorescent ceiling lights.2012-06-03A photograph of a stage event with a maroon velvet curtain on the right and dark drapes behind. A man seated on an ornate silver-and-brown throne-style chair speaks into a microphone, wearing a maroon turban, a maroon wrap over bare shoulders, a rudraksha mala, and white markings on his arms and chest. He holds loose papers and a small reading stand sits in front of him. In the foreground, a second person in maroon clothing performs a forward-bending yoga posture on a yellow mat, with a dark object beside them and a small brass vessel on the stage. The man is a probable candidate for a person based on the turban, rudraksha mala and saffron-maroon attire, but appearance is not fully certain.2017-12-29A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate wooden throne with gold-painted carved backrest and armrests, a pink cushion and a golden lion sculpture beside it. He wears a rudraksha mala and a long white beaded necklace, a red bindi, and a small headset microphone, and speaks while gesturing with one hand. Behind him a potted green plant, flower arrangements and a gold-trimmed hanging decoration. On the left a man in white with an orange shawl stands near a stanchion. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair and saffron clothing with rudraksha mala cues, seated as the speaker on the throne.2012-12-26A photograph from the back of a hall showing a seated speaker on an orange-draped chair on a raised stage, wearing an orange robe and holding a hand mic, with a microphone stand beside him, a small orange-covered table, and water bottles. Rows of seated attendees fill the foreground on both sides of a central aisle: on the left, people in white clothes and a red jacket; on the right, women in white, lavender, pink and yellow saris and salwar. A dark red curtain backs the stage.2009-12-13August 17 20062006-08-17
