A photograph of a satsang-style gathering in an indoor hall with a suspended ceiling and recessed lights. A man in an orange turban and orange shawl, with a red bindi, gold necklaces and a gold bangle, raises his right hand in a blessing gesture toward a row of people. In front, a light-haired young man in white kurta and a red thread bracelet presses his palms together with bowed head, and other devotees in white and pastel shirts stand with hands folded in anjali. A bald man in white dhoti on the right is partly visible. The swami-like figure in the centre fits the orange turban and gold ornament cues, so this is a person appearance, though the photo is not certain. Stage lighting and a yellow backdrop glow at the right edge.2011-09-06July 14 20112011-07-14July 14 20112011-07-14September 09 20112011-09-09 +1 copiesOctober 14 20112011-10-14A photograph in an indoor hall with a large screen behind. A man in an orange turban with an orange shawl, gold-coloured ornaments and beaded necklaces raises his hand in blessing toward a line of people with palms pressed together in namaste. Several young men in white and light clothing, one in a turquoise t-shirt, stand with heads bowed. A bald man in white ritual cloth stands at right beside a tray of offerings. The orange-turbaned figure has long swept-back hair and ornate orange clothing with rudraksha-style beads, so the appearance-based label applies: a person, shown in person giving blessings to devotees.2011-09-06 +1 copiesA photograph of a formal line of devotees greeting a man in a saffron-orange turban, orange robe with gold border, and a long rudraksha mala. He stands at right with one palm raised in blessing while a row of people in white shirts and dhotis on the left stand with palms pressed together in namaste. Other devotees in orange and white stand behind metal stanchions along a hall with ceiling lights and a camera operator at the right edge. The man's appearance (turban, orange clothing, rudraksha mala and gold border) is consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable identification from appearance only.2013-09-19September 06 20112011-09-06 +1 copiesFebruary 09 20122012-02-09Indoor ceremony where a saffron-robed priest with a shaved head and sandalwood paste on his arm places his hand on the head of a man with grey hair, who bows with palms pressed together. The priest wears orange clothing, a rudraksha mala and gold bangles, and an orange turban is visible on another figure. Around them stand other men in green, white and maroon, some with hands folded in prayer. Behind is a decorated altar with yellow-orange flower garlands and a deity murti. The scene resembles a blessing or darshan moment.2011-12-10A photograph of a satsang at night where a man in an orange turban and orange sleeveless robe with long dark hair sits on a raised seat, leaning forward to place his hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and dark trousers, who bows with his hands clasped. Surrounding them, men in white shirts and dhotis and a young man in an orange shawl with a rudraksha mala stand close, and an older man with a white moustache watches. A cameraman on the right films with a video camera, and a red-covered table with offerings sits at the edge. The figure in the orange turban has distinctive long hair and orange robes, a person cue, seated in the role of the giver of blessing.2010-02-16A photograph of a devotional gathering in an indoor hall with warm ceiling lights. A central figure in an orange saffron turban decorated with a white jewel brooch and gold ornaments, an orange shawl draped over the shoulders, and a long gold-beaded necklace with a pendant smiles while touching the forehead of a kneeling devotee in white clothes with folded hands. Around him, a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti with white ash markings on the forehead stands to the right, and other devotees in white and light clothing stand with palms pressed together. The figure's appearance with the orange turban, saffron robes and ornate gold necklaces is a probable Swamiji cue, shown in a ritual blessing setting.2011-08-19
