A photograph of an outdoor gathering on sandy ground where a man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a red padded chair. He wears an ornate cream and gold embroidered kurta with matching gold dhoti-style trousers, a gold necklace and orange sandals, hands folded in his lap. Around him stand many people in white kurtas with rudraksha malas and orange robes, and a person in orange holds a bottle near him. A seated figure with long hair, shawl-like gold embroidery and ceremonial gold chains matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, seated as a central honoured figure.2009-01-01January 01 20092009-01-01November 21 20102010-11-21November 21 20102010-11-21December 01 20092009-12-01November 21 20102010-11-21Night-time photograph of a seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair, white and red forehead markings, and a large necklace of wooden beads, speaking to a group of men gathered around. The seated figure is positioned at right on a raised platform edge; a candidate matching a person by appearance (long swept hair, orange clothing, bead malas) is visible, so this is probable. Around them, several men wear white dhotis and orange shawls, one with a rudraksha mala and another with a white forehead mark. A younger man in orange kneels in front holding a mobile phone, while more people stand in the background among lights and a camera on a stand at upper right.2008-08-02Night outdoor photo of a seated figure on an ornate gold-framed throne with a crimson upholstered seat and back, leopard-print mat at its base. The seated person wears saffron-orange robes with gold border, a long dark-haired style, and layered beaded necklaces; the figure is a probable Swamiji by visible cues of swept-back long hair, saffron clothing and ornate necklaces. Standing beside the throne are attendants in orange and white: a man in orange holding a staff at left, another in orange with a red-and-gold trim, and a bald man in white with an orange scarf. Behind are people holding a golden parasol and a ceremonial staff, string lights glow above, and an older man in cream kurta and red dhoti stands at right, with other men in white dhotis.2010-11-21Night procession outdoors with a crowd of devotees. In the centre, a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a leopard-print shawl holds a white flower and a small orange object, smiling, with a red bindi on his forehead and a dark rudraksha mala around his neck. Around him, a bald man in orange robes and a gold pendant, a man in white with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala, and young men in striped shirts stand among devotees in white and orange. Bright white statue shapes appear at the left edge. Several people are visible, about a dozen in the frame.2010-11-20A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a cream gold-bordered turban and a golden trident-topped staff behind him sits on a cushioned seat in front of a large audience under orange drapes. He wears a white and orange flower garland, a gold necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, and his hair falls long past his shoulders. In the foreground another person in orange clothing with a gold necklace sits at the lower right, facing away. Behind them a crowd of seated devotees, many with hands pressed together in namaste, wears white and cream clothing; some boys in white kurtas sit in front, and several people wear glasses.2008-12-27A man with long, swept-back black hair and a small red tilak on his forehead sits on a red upholstered throne with gold-trimmed carved edges. He wears a leopard-print shawl over orange clothing and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace of bead-like pendants. Behind him, several attendants stand in white clothes with orange sashes, and one holds a tall gold-topped staff. A woman on the right wears a cream sari with a dark border and a silver bangle, her hands clasped near her chin. The setting appears to be an indoor hall. Swamiji (probable) is seated centrally as the figure of honour, shown by the long hair, orange garment and gold necklace.2010-11-11November 11 20102010-11-11
