Indoor photo of a seated man in an orange-brown dhoti and shawl, wearing a pink and white flower garland and a rudraksha mala, with white ash markings on his forehead. He sits on a dark red velvet cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold throne with carved lion heads. Beside him is a golden lion sculpture on a decorated base, and he holds an open booklet or papers. Facing him, a bearded man in a bright orange robe sits on a white chair with arms folded. A shaved-headed man in orange garments stands behind them. Background has deep maroon drapes and a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat.2013-02-27February 27 20132013-02-27February 27 20132013-02-27A photograph of a seated man on an ornate red-cushioned throne with gold carved wood behind him, wearing a rust-orange cloth wrap and a heavy brown beaded necklace with gold bead strands, gold bangles and bracelets, and a gold earring, with a red tilak on his forehead. He reaches out to take a gold-bordered printed booklet held by an older man with glasses at the left edge. Beside him a younger man in a white dhoti with gold border and a rudraksha mala, with white and red forehead markings, looks on. Red drapes and a microphone stand are in the background. Probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne, recognised by the swept-back long hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-orange robe.2016-07-03May 10 20122012-05-10September 14 20152015-09-14February 21 20172017-02-21A photograph of a seated person on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests and carved gold backrest, wearing a red-orange turban with a small red tilak on the forehead, a red-orange robe, and long garlands of red beads and green leaves with gold ornaments, smiling. Two devotees sit before him in orange and saffron robes with brown-beaded neck malas; one on the left wears a white and gold dhoti with white marks on the upper back, and the other on the right is shaved-headed in saffron with a gold-bordered shawl, bending forward and touching his feet. A silver plate of yellow offerings sits in the foreground, with gift packets, boxes and bundles on a red cloth at right, a microphone stand, and gold-carved shrine elements behind. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back dark hair is not visible, but the seated figure has a turban, garland, gold ornaments and ceremonial red robes on a throne.2015-11-10A photograph of a stage set with deep red draped curtains and red carpeting.

Two men in saffron-orange robes sit on the right: one wears a saffron head cloth and glasses, and the other, shaven-headed and bare-chested with a saffron wrap, holds a mobile phone beside a tray of small packets.
