A photograph of a satsang-style gathering in an indoor hall with a patterned curtain and colourful drapes behind. In the centre, a long-haired man in a red shawl over bare shoulders, with rudraksha malas and gold bangles, leans forward to take a small white folded paper from a line of devotees. A bald man in an orange robe on the right holds a silver plate with offerings. Around them, a crowd of men in white shirts, pink and light blue shirts, and white dhotis stand close together, several with hands pressed in namaste or reaching forward. The mood is devotional and orderly.

A photograph of a satsang setting where a man with long dark hair, wearing a red shawl over a red garment, rudraksha malas and gold bangles, stands at the centre holding a silver tray of offerings and looking down. A man in an orange robe holds the tray at the right edge. Around them a group of devotees in white, light blue, pink and dark clothing stand close, some with hands folded in namaste. Colourful drapes and a hanging banner fill the background. The centre figure is an appearance-based candidate for a person, identified by long swept-back hair, red ceremonial clothing, rudraksha malas and gold ornaments, but the image is not certain enough to confirm identity.2011-02-16A photograph of a satsang gathering where a man in a red shawl over bare shoulders, with long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha malas and a red-banded arm ornament, extends his right hand in blessing toward a devotee in a white shirt, while handing him a folded paper. Around them stand several men in shirts and white dhotis, and a silver tray of offerings rests in the lower right. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with draped cloth in the background. Based on the long swept-back hair, the distinctive red shawl and rudraksha malas, this is a Swamiji (probable) in a blessing role with a devotee receiving his blessing.2011-02-16A photograph of a satsang or darshan setting where a man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a red shawl over a bare chest, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, smiles broadly while placing his hand on the head of a devotee bowing forward.

Behind them is a stage with colourful woven hangings and a maroon curtain.2011-02-16A photograph at an indoor gathering with striped pillars and draped cloth overhead. In the centre a man with long swept-back hair wears a red shawl over a red garment, a gold pendant, rudraksha-style beaded mala and a wristband; he extends his hand in blessing toward a man in white who bows with palms together. Behind him stands a man in white with glasses, and at right a man in orange robes holds a small silver tray. Several other men in white shirts stand nearby, one holding a red book. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, identified by long swept-back hair, red shawl, gold pendant and beaded mala; the page indicates his presence.2011-02-16Indoor satsang hall photograph. A man with long dark swept-back hair wears a red saffron-style shawl over the shoulder, rudraksha mala beads, a gold chain, a red tilak, and a beaded bracelet on the arm. He smiles while holding out his hand toward a man in a white shirt and glasses who bends forward to receive something from a silver tray. Several men stand nearby: one in a pink shirt on the left, one in a light blue shirt, and a shaved-headed man in white dhoti-style clothing with a sacred marking on the right, who holds a tray.

Behind him a shaved-headed attendant in a saffron cloth and beaded necklace stands by a tray of fruit, and an older man in white with an orange shawl is visible at right. The setting is an indoor hall with a projection screen and blue drapery. The central figure matches the probable Swamiji appearance cues of swept-back long hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial beads, and is presented as the one giving prasadam to devotees.2011-02-27A photograph of a long-haired man in a red shawl draped over his shoulder, wearing a red-brown rudraksha mala, a gold necklace with a pendant, a gold armband and a red-brown bracelet, with a red bindi on his forehead, speaking to people in a temple-like hall with yellow and red decorations. Around him, men in white shirts stand with their heads bowed toward him, and a man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands at right. Behind him a bald priest in a white dhoti with a gold-trimmed yellow shawl and garland holds a tray with a lamp. Swamiji (probable): the central man is shown with long swept-back hair, a red shawl, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, matching the page's identification of Swamiji at this event.2011-02-16October 26 20102010-10-26Photograph of a devotional greeting at an indoor event. A long-haired man in a peach-coloured sarong and shawl with a red bindi and gold necklaces smiles and raises his palms toward a young man in a red shirt who bows with folded hands. Behind them, a man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands, and on the right a man in saffron-orange robes holds a silver plate with offerings. Colourful striped pillars and a white ceiling are visible.

A man in a red-orange robe with a long dark wig-like hair and a beaded necklace stands centre right, smiling and placing his hand on the head of an elderly man in white clothes with a pink-and-white shawl, who bows with palms joined. Beside them, a younger man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds a silver tray with offerings. Other men in white and red shawls stand with folded hands in the background, and a gilded throne-like seat is visible at right. The central figure matches the presentation cues associated with a person, so this is a probable identification from appearance, with the role being a blessing recipient setting.2010-10-18 +1 copiesOctober 26 20102010-10-26
