A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long orange rudraksha mala and a heavy ceremonial gold bead necklace, with a sandalwood-style tilak on his forehead and earrings, smiling as he extends his hand to a kneeling older woman in a white top. Behind him a woman in an orange sari with a gold border and a rudraksha mala stands at a table covered with small packets, prasad-style items and papers. A gold ornate panel is visible at the upper left and a partially visible person in white stands at the right edge.2014-04-29A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered sash and a long rudraksha mala with golden bead ornaments sits on an ornate throne-like chair with gold filigree, extending a hand in blessing toward a kneeling man in a green t-shirt who bows his head. A small red bindi marks the seated figure's forehead. Beside them a tray holds apples, wrapped sweets and a small offering on a gold-cloth-draped table. Another woman in saffron with a gold-bordered sari and rudraksha mala stands behind, and a woman in a white sari with a beaded necklace stands at the right edge. The setting is a dark stage backdrop.2014-04-29April 29 20142014-04-29A photograph of a seated figure in orange-saffron robes with a long orange rudraksha mala and gold bead necklace, a red bindi on the forehead, hair pulled back, smiling and extending a small packet of sweets toward a man in a green t-shirt who kneels before them. Behind, a woman in orange robes and rudraksha beads bends over a table set with red apples, packaged sweets and a gold-edged cloth, while another woman in white with a rudraksha mala stands at the back. A gold-carved chair is visible at the left edge.2014-04-29A seated man in a rust-red dhoti-style wrap with a leopard-print lower cloth and a long white-and-blue-and-yellow flower garland wearing rudraksha bead arm bands and a rudraksha mala, with white vertical forehead marks, offers a small brass bowl of items to a shaved-headed young person in orange robes and a rudraksha necklace who sits and smiles with bowed head. Behind them a woman in orange with a long rudraksha mala stands watching, and to the right a woman in a yellow sari with bangles stands among other onlookers in a room with red curtains. The central figure's cues are a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial garland, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role as the officiant giving the blessing.2014-04-27A long-haired man in saffron-orange dhoti and wrap with multiple rudraksha malas and a pale ceremonial necklace stands at center, his right arm extended to place a red-orange rudraksha mala over the head of a man in a dark jacket who bends forward. Swamiji (probable) — long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and layered rudraksha malas. Behind him a second man in saffron and gold-bordered wrap stands at right. A man in a grey shirt watches at left, and several people in white and saffron stand in the background of a hall with ceiling lights and a white screen. Ritual items lie on a cloth-covered table at lower right.2012-07-20A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange draped clothing with a long rudraksha mala and a heavy gold bead necklace, smiling and extending one arm toward a young man in a green t-shirt who kneels and bows his head forward to receive an offering. Behind them a woman in an orange sari with gold border wears a long rudraksha mala and stands beside a tray on a green draped table holding apples, sweets, wrapped candies and banknotes. A woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge. The seated figure has a red bindi and a tattoo on the arm; the setting is a dark indoor hall. Appearance cues of long hair, rudraksha and gold necklaces are present, so the seated figure is a probable Swamiji. Four physical people are visible.2014-04-29A photograph of a seated man with a shaved head, white forehead markings, a multicolored flower garland and a rudraksha mala, bare-shouldered in a dark red wrap, extending his hand toward a kneeling devotee in an orange polo shirt who holds a small red object in his cupped hands. Behind them a woman in an orange sari with a long rudraksha necklace and glasses stands watching, a second woman in a floral sari wearing a visitor badge stands at right, and another person stands at top left in an orange shawl. Maroon curtains frame the background.2014-04-27Inside a pink-walled temple interior, a man in white kurta and rudraksha mala kneels and offers a small metal cup to a seated figure in a rust-red robe. The seated figure wears a long garland of white flowers, ornate gold necklace, gold armbands and bangles, a rudraksha mala, and a tilak on the forehead, with a dark shawl draped over the shoulder. Behind them a man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl stands, another man in a white shirt with an orange scarf holds a phone, and a wooden cabinet with brass fittings sits against the wall. Ritual water-offering scene at a temple visit.2016-06-03A seated man in rust-orange robes with long dark hair and a long rudraksha-style mala sits on a gold-carved throne with red cushions, smiling as he holds small objects in his hands. A devotee in a grey shirt, orange-beaded neck garland and glasses kneels before him, reaching toward his hands. Behind them, a woman in a cream and gold sari and another attendant in rust-orange robes with a beaded necklace stand near potted green plants and a deep red curtain. The seated man shows distinctive long swept hair, rudraksha mala and orange ceremonial robes, a compatible presentation for the page's subject, though the image is not clear enough to confirm identity.2016-05-11A photograph of a satsang stage at night. In the foreground a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and heavy gold bead necklaces, with a rudraksha mala and a headset microphone, extends his hand toward a seated young monk with a white vibhuti band and red tilak. Behind them, several shaved-headed monks in orange cloth sit on the stage, one holding a water bottle and another holding a small object. A large ornate silver throne with embossed floral and heart-shaped motifs stands at the right. The long-haired man has distinctive long swept hair and ceremonial gold ornaments, consistent with the page's a person label, so this is a probable appearance-based match.2013-03-10March 13 20132013-03-13
