In the foreground, a man with short grey hair and a moustache, wearing a white striped shirt and a pendant necklace, stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Facing him is a man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange garment, leaning forward toward him. Behind them a man in white clothes with a red-orange shawl stands near a tall pillar, and a man in a yellow shirt and others stand in the background near orange-draped seating.2010-08-04A photograph of a crowded indoor hall with a corrugated metal roof and ceiling fans. In the centre, a man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and white tilak, wears a saffron-orange garment over his shoulder, layered rudraksha malas, gold armlets and a gold-toned ceremonial necklace; he extends one hand toward the crowd. Around him, men in white shirts and striped shirts press forward, one with palms joined in greeting; a bearded elderly man stands at left. A second saffron-clad figure stands behind him and a woman in an orange sari with a maroon border is at right.

Behind them, a cameraman in a white shirt with an orange-red shawl films with a DSLR camera, and several men in white dhotis and orange shawls stand in a hall with white draping and hanging yellow decorations.

The person at right has long, dark, wavy hair, a dark rudraksha-style mala with gold beads, gold bangles and an orange garment with a gold border, and stands behind a low wooden podium. Several men stand in a line in white dhotis and shirts, some with white shawls over the shoulder and one with a red tilak on the forehead. An elderly man in a white shirt sits at left with hands joined. Behind them are ornate wall decorations and a purple bird logo at top left. The right-side figure's cues are appearance-based, so this is a probable identification as a person, shown in person receiving devotees.2011-11-09December 13 20092009-12-13October 20 20102010-10-20January 23 20112011-01-23A photograph of a festive indoor gathering under a white tent ceiling with hanging fans and colourful striped cloth pillars.

A man with long dark hair swept back, wearing an orange saffron shawl and draped orange garment, multiple rudraksha malas and a rudraksha bracelet, smiles while placing his right hand on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt whose palms are pressed together in namaskar. Several robed attendants in white and orange stand around, a cameraman holding a camera raises it at left, and devotees and framed portraits line the hall. The orange-clad figure has distinctive long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, matching the page's a person reference, so this is a probable identification from appearance, not a confirmed one.2011-11-08January 12 20072007-01-12
