July 06 20132013-07-06May 04 20122012-05-04A photograph of a satsang setting with a long-haired man in an orange-brown cloth and a large rudraksha mala seated on a dark red cushioned seat, leaning forward to hand a small wrapped gift to a boy in white kurta and glasses. Behind him stands a man in white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha mala, smiling and watching. Two women in orange and red saris stand in the background, and a curly-haired child in white looks on. Floral garlands in red, orange and yellow hang at the left edge. Probable Swamiji is the seated man, identified by long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala with orange clothing, shown in person giving a gift to a child.2013-07-06A seated man in rust-orange robes with long dark hair and a long rudraksha-style mala sits on a gold-carved throne with red cushions, smiling as he holds small objects in his hands. A devotee in a grey shirt, orange-beaded neck garland and glasses kneels before him, reaching toward his hands. Behind them, a woman in a cream and gold sari and another attendant in rust-orange robes with a beaded necklace stand near potted green plants and a deep red curtain. The seated man shows distinctive long swept hair, rudraksha mala and orange ceremonial robes, a compatible presentation for the page's subject, though the image is not clear enough to confirm identity.2016-05-11July 16 20132013-07-16Indoor temple-hall scene with red carpet and maroon curtains. A seated figure on the right wears orange-brown cloth, a long-haired crown-less head, rudraksha mala, gold-patterned cloth on his lap, and holds a small round fruit or offering while a young boy in white kurta offers another item. Beside them a young man in white kurta and rudraksha mala watches. Behind, standing people in white shirts and kurtas, one with a lanyard, and an older man in white. A standing priest on the left wears white dhoti and shawl with rudraksha beads. A brass oil lamp stands on the right. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and orange cloth, so swamiji is in_person.2016-11-16A photograph of a ritual exchange in an ashram hall. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, with a white tilak on his forehead, leans forward and reaches toward a small red box filled with white flowers or petals. Beside him a man in white dhoti and shawl with a gold border, rudraksha beads and a red tilak bends toward a young boy in a maroon shirt who holds a green packet. Several saffron-clad men stand behind them, and a red cloth backdrop hangs in the background. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and gold pendant) is the central figure, distributing offerings.2013-01-15Photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange garment with long dark hair, rudraksha mala and silver-beaded ornaments on his arms and chest, extending his right hand to touch the forehead of a young boy with glasses who kneels in front of him, wearing a white shirt and red cloth with a rudraksha mala. Behind them a man in white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha beads stands with his hand raised, a woman in orange and yellow sari with rudraksha mala smiles at right, and red and yellow floral garlands hang in the background. The scene resembles a blessing or darshan moment.2013-07-10Photograph of a seated man with short hair pulled back in a bun, wearing a tiger-striped yellow-and-black cloth draped over his body and multiple rudraksha mala strands across his chest and waist. He smiles and extends his hand to offer a small wrapped sweet or prasad packet to a young boy in a white shirt who reaches up with both hands. Behind them stands a man in white ritual cloth with a gold border, rudraksha beads, and white forehead marks. Other people in white and orange clothing, including a woman in orange and children, watch from the background. Colourful garlands hang on the left and a wooden tray of items sits at lower left.2013-07-09July 17 20132013-07-17A seated man on the right wears an orange-saffron shawl over a bare chest, with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, a red forehead mark and dark hair tied in a bun. He sits on a dark red cushioned seat beside tall brass lamps. Facing him, a young boy in a cream shirt bends forward to a small offering. Behind them a seated man in white ritual clothes with a rudraksha mala watches, and a cameraman in a red shirt films from a tripod while a white tower fan stands nearby. Probable Swamiji cues: swept-back hair bun, saffron shawl and rudraksha mala, with the seat and lamps indicating a presentation setting.2011-09-17April 27 20142014-04-27
