Outdoor satsang beside a wide river under a pale sky. In the foreground on the right, a figure in a maroon-and-gold draped cloth, with white sacred ash markings on the forehead, arms and shoulder, long dark hair swept back, gold earrings and a beaded gold necklace, sits upright against a silver-toned staff and ritual pole. Seated devotees in white and red shawls face the same direction across a red-and-gold patterned table holding a silver bowl and an orange cup. A loudspeaker stands on a tripod at left and a man in white stands near the water. The figure matches the appearance cues of the a person candidate with a plausible role, so this is a probable in-person appearance.2014-03-18March 18 20142014-03-18Outdoor riverside ritual at a ghat with a calm river and a small blue boat in the background. A man stands at right with a white ash mark on his forehead and chest, a long dark wrap in maroon and gold, a beaded necklace and gold earrings, holding a tall silver ceremonial staff. Seated before him are devotees in orange and maroon shawls. In front, a brass plate with a silver kalasha, a small lamp, sweets and offerings sits on a patterned cloth.

A man in profile stands beside a tall silver trident-tipped staff and an ornate silver-framed throne back. He wears a deep red-orange robe with a gold-and-saffron trim, a long rudraksha mala, and a bare upper arm marked with white ash. His long dark hair is tied in a bun with a red ribbon, and a white tilak is on his forehead. Probable Swamiji (probable) stands in ceremonial attire, identified by the saffron robe, rudraksha beads, long hair and ceremonial trident cues.2014-03-10May 20 20142014-05-20A man seated on an ornate silver-framed throne on a sandy ground at night, smiling with hands clasped in his lap. He wears a saffron-red shawl with gold border, a long gold-bead garland, a gold necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a white forehead mark with a red dot. Long dark hair is swept back. Behind him a large audience sits in the dark, including women in red, green and purple saris. Swamiji (probable): the seated man shows long swept-back hair, ornate gold adornments and saffron-red clothing, consistent with the page's claim of his presence at the event.2015-12-25A seated man in a red and gold-bordered wrap with a bare chest and a long gold-beaded rudraksha-style mala with a gold necklace sits on an ornate silver throne-like chair outdoors on sand at night. He wears white vibhuti on his forehead with a red mark, and a gold armlet, and smiles upward with eyes closed. Behind him a seated audience in saris and casual clothes, including a woman in purple and a woman in green, watches. The setting is a dark open-air evening gathering with a water bottle on the ground.2015-12-25March 18 20142014-03-18Outdoor photo on a riverbank with pale stones and blurred trees behind. A man seated on a silver-ornate throne-like seat, wearing a maroon-red robe with a yellow-gold sash, rudraksha-style brown beaded necklaces, a leopard-print lower garment, and white vibhuti lines across his forehead and upper arm. He has swept-back long hair and gazes to the side. A tall silver trident stands at left and a silver ceremonial staff rises behind the seat, with lion-face relief panels on the chair. A seated man in white shirt sits blurred in the background, and out-of-focus heads occupy the bottom edge. Probable Swamiji is the central figure in the seated ceremonial role, shown by long swept-back hair, rudraksha beads, saffron-maroon robe and vibhuti.2014-03-10 +1 copiesDecember 25 20152015-12-25
