A photograph of a long-haired figure in a red sleeveless garment seen in profile, holding a silver tray with two turmeric-covered objects, possibly turmeric-coated fruits or balls, and a bundle of flowers at the right edge. Behind them, a second person in orange robes holds a microphone on a stand near their face. Carved stone relief ornament is visible in the background, and a purple logo appears at the top right corner.2009-07-09Outdoor ritual photo of two men in saffron-orange robes seated before a stone temple wall. The figure at centre has long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi on his forehead, and a gold rudraksha-style mala with ceremonial gold beads on his chest; he looks down toward a brass tray of yellow flowers and a silver bowl of red and white petals. A microphone on a boom stand is positioned before him. The man on the left, with a shaved head, glasses, a white tilak and an orange turban-style wrap, reaches into the silver bowl, which suggests a puja or ritual offering in progress. Gold bangles are visible on the wrist.2009-07-09July 09 20092009-07-09Outdoor photo of a long-haired man in orange-saffron robes with a red tilak on his forehead, smiling as he sits beside a microphone on a stand in front of a stone temple wall with gilded pillars. In the foreground, a second man in a pink-orange robe and red-trimmed shawl, wearing glasses and white forehead marks, reaches out to a brass tray heaped with red and yellow flowers. A silver ritual vessel sits at lower left, with white and pink flower garlands nearby. The long-haired man wears a gold chain and a gold bangle.2009-07-09A seated man with long, voluminous black hair wears an orange saffron robe draped over his shoulders and holds a brass plate containing a yellow turmeric-like mass and pink and white flower petals. He has a white tilak with a red bindi on his forehead and looks downward with a calm expression. A microphone stand is to his right, and behind him are a painted pillar with floral and geometric patterns and a brick wall under a bright sky. Probable Swamiji: the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ceremonial tilak match the appearance cues, and he is the single person present, seated and performing an offering-related action with the flower plate.2007-02-15July 03 20082008-07-03Profile photo of a man with eyes closed and palms pressed together in namaskar near his chin. He wears an orange saffron shawl over one shoulder and a sleeveless orange garment, with long, swept-back dark hair and a white tilak with a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him hang orange and red striped curtains and a purple logo sits in the upper left. Beside him, on the right edge, a partially visible person in white dhoti clothing stands near a wooden offering box holding red apples. Swamiji (probable): the visible cues of long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and tilak align with the page's claim, but the appearance is not fully conclusive, so this is marked as a probable identification from appearance.2010-09-08September 30 20062006-09-30October 10 20102010-10-10July 09 20092009-07-09July 09 20092009-07-09A man with long swept-back black hair and a red bindi stands outdoors with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes lowered, wearing an orange sleeveless garment with a saffron wrap and ornate gold bead necklace. Behind him to the right a bald man in a white dhoti and shawl with red border and gold necklace holds a silver tray of flowers. Green palm foliage and a golden arch frame the scene. Swamiji (probable) appears as the central figure in orange with rudraksha-style gold beads and long hair, greeting an assembly.2010-10-10
