A photograph of a darshan moment at a gilded golden throne with red cushions. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe, rudraksha mala and a brown-and-beige shawl, sits on the red throne and reaches out to touch an offering of fruit and money on a wooden stand. He matches the page's Swamiji cue of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so this is a probable in-person presence. Beside him, a smiling man in white dhoti and kurta with a rudraksha mala bends forward, and a small girl in a maroon velvet dress and white skirt reaches toward the offering. A woman in blue sari and gold jewellery stands behind, and a man in white robes is partly visible at the top. A painted forest backdrop of trees fills the background.2010-09-16A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes with long swept-back dark hair, leaning forward on a golden ornate throne-like seat and smiling as he reaches out to hold the hands of a small girl in a maroon velvet top and white skirt.

Behind them, women in a green-and-blue sari, a white sari with a gold border and a red-bordered sari stand watching. On a golden side table sit a silver tray with apples and sweets.

A kneeling man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits at lower left. Behind, a woman in a white sari with a mala stands near a gold-trimmed table holding apples, a tray and a book.

Behind them an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds a red apple, and a red tray with fruit and sweets sits at the right edge. The setting is a marble floor with a glass-topped wooden side table. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person candidate wearing orange robes and a flower garland, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity; this is a depiction of a devotee's home visit scene.2010-02-17A photograph of a seated man with long, swept-back black hair wearing an orange saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and ornate gold bangles, leaning forward on a gold-carved throne with red cushions to hold the hands of a young boy in a green-and-gold patterned kurta.

Behind him, a man in orange robes with a ceremonial necklace and a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala stand near marigold garlands.

A plate of petals sits on the floor in front. The page indicates this is a Sarva Darshan session, and the seated figure with orange robe, long hair and rudraksha is a probable match for Swamiji on a throne receiving devotees.2010-09-16
