One visible man is present.2012-10-16A smiling man with short dark hair stands on a stage in front of a painted blue and orange backdrop with a brass lamp on the left and a gold throne with red cushions on the right. He wears a rust-orange shawl over the shoulder with gold borders, a matching orange dhoti with gold stripe, a long rudraksha mala, gold armlets and bangles, gold earrings and a microphone headset, and has white vibhuti lines and a red kumkum dot on his forehead. Appearance-based cues of long hair, rudraksha mala, orange clothing and ceremonial gold ornaments match the Swamiji (probable) candidate, presented in a ritual or discourse setting.2013-09-03September 26 20122012-09-26A standing man in an orange-brown dhoti and shawl with broad gold borders stands barefoot on a patterned red-and-gold rug, hands joined at the waist.

Behind him, a red-cushioned gold-legged chair sits on a colourful striped mat, and a pink-draped arch frames a deity murti with garlands. A child in red and a man in white stand at the left edge.

Smoke or incense haze fills the upper left. Behind him, a red backdrop is hung with marigold garlands and yellow lights. To the left, a white and silver arched shrine holds deity murtis draped in white flowers, and on the right a golden arched shrine holds a murti in pink and gold with garlands. Brass lamps and offerings sit in front of the murtis. The man wears a long mala-style necklace and has a tilak on his forehead. This appears to be a ritual or darshan setting.2012-10-20August 04 20132013-08-04April 16 20132013-04-16
