March 03 20132013-03-03A seated man in a saffron-red robe with a white forehead mark and a white and orange flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms and red patterned upholstery. He rests one palm forward in blessing toward a man in white shirt and trousers who kneels with hands pressed together in namaskar. Behind them, two women in saffron-red sarees with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand on red carpet scattered with petals, and a white pillar and air conditioner are visible. The seated man matches the a person appearance cues of a saffron robe, flower garland and gold-and-rudraksha ornaments, and receiving honour from kneeling devotees on a throne fits his role, so the seated figure is a probable candidate.2014-09-21April 27 20142014-04-27A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-crimson throne during a satsang. He wears an orange saffron-coloured dhoti and shawl, a long red and white flower-bead garland, a gold necklace, and bangles. A white tilak with a red dot marks his forehead and his hair is tied back. His hands rest in his lap. Beside the throne stand gold lion-head armrests and a tall golden oil lamp (deepa). Swamiji (probable): the saffron and ornate clothing, garland and swept-back hair match the page's description of Swamiji at the satsang. A dark red curtain forms the backdrop.2013-01-12A photograph of a satsang hall where a seated figure with long hair in a bun wears a red-and-white floral garland, a maroon garment with gold border, and a blue bangle, receiving slips of paper from devotees. Behind them stands a golden object, with white curtains, a cooler and a fan. Several women in white and orange saris, some wearing rudraksha malas and vibhuti, lean forward holding folded papers. Many more people sit in the background of the hall.2015-05-31July 23 20142014-07-23A photograph of a long-haired man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing an orange-saffron garment draped over one shoulder with a gold border and a heavy necklace of gold beads. He has a red tilak on his forehead and gold bangles on his wrists, and is reading a small white paper handed to him by a second man seen from behind in a white striped shirt. A brass oil lamp and a golden bird-shaped finial stand in the background. The seated man is a strong appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable), based on the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, gold bead necklace and throne, so the swamiji field is in_person.2012-01-08January 12 20132013-01-12November 03 20112011-11-03A seated man in an orange-saffron silk shawl and a long gold-and-bead necklace of large golden beads sits on a red velvet throne with a gold-carved back. He has a swept-back topknot, a white tilak on his forehead, and is holding a folded white paper or card while looking down at it. Facing him, an older bald man in a white kurta with a beaded necklace sits close, palms raised toward the seated man in a gesture of reverence. Red drapes hang in the background.2012-02-09A photograph of a seated guru in saffron robes with long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead band with red bindi, gold necklace and rudraksha malas, touching the forehead of a young man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard who kneels with palms raised. The guru holds a sheet of handwritten paper. Behind them, a second person in orange robes and a floral garland sits on a throne-like seat with gold ornamentation, and a bald person in orange is at the left edge. The guru appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and gold necklace, seated in a blessing gesture.2012-10-07A photo of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, surrounded by floral decorations in white, red, pink and yellow. The seated man wears a saffron-orange garment and a long white and red flower garland, with long swept-back hair, and smiles as he extends his hands. Beside him, a woman in a white sari with a red beaded necklace holds a brass tray or plate near his hands. Behind the throne stand two attendants, one in an orange garment and one in white with a rudraksha mala, and a young man in white on the right. The overall setting is a ceremonial welcome or felicitation on a stage. The seated man is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, and a flower garland, presented as a seated honoured figure.2008-07-17
