A photograph of two men in conversation indoors at a hall with a gold throne-like seat and a stage backdrop. On the right, a bare-chested man with long swept-back black hair, a white-and-red forehead mark, gold earrings, and a thick gold-bead necklace over a red-orange cloth wrap smiles broadly while gesturing with an open hand; he is the probable Swamiji by these visible cues. On the left, a man in white clothes and a rudraksha mala with glasses holds an orange booklet and a pen and claps his hands. Behind them, several people are gathered, including a child in yellow, and a projection screen shows images at the upper right.2013-04-13April 10 20132013-04-10A photo of a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, white sandal marks and a saffron-orange shawl over the shoulder, wearing heavy gold bead necklaces with rudraksha-style mala strands; the appearance cues are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) figure, at a ceremonial gathering. He reaches to a man in white shirt and glasses who holds out his hands, appearing to offer or receive a ritual item. Behind them, other people in white and saffron stand before a golden shrine with orange lamps and a decorated altar backdrop.2013-05-07A smiling man in an orange saffron shawl and a heavy gold bead necklace stands on a stage, with white vertical tilak and a red bindi on his forehead and a gold earring. His right hand is raised, touching the head of an older man in glasses and a grey shirt on the left, who appears to be receiving a blessing. Behind them a second man with a shaved head and white forehead markings stands near a rudraksha mala, and a crowd of seated and standing people in a hall is visible. Maroon curtains with gold and orange patterned hangings frame the background, and a projector screen shows at the top left.2013-03-08A man in a rust-orange sleeveless robe stands at the right, smiling and raising his right hand in a blessing gesture. He wears layered gold necklaces, a long rudraksha mala, gold armlets and a gold pendant, with a red dot on his forehead and white markings. Behind him, a shaved-headed man in white robes and a man with a yellow tilak on his forehead stand with hands folded. At the left, a bespectacled man in orange bows his head. Behind them, a red-and-gold canopy hangs over a gold-framed deity murti on a colourful shrine backdrop with ornate pillars.2013-07-24A smiling man with long swept-back black hair, a red bindi, gold earrings and a rudraksha mala with large gold beads stands in an orange-red shawl over bare shoulders, reaching out to rest his hand on the head of an elderly man in the foreground. Behind him a crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis watches, and a colourful painted temple backdrop with deity figures and a hanging tassel fills the background. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace, rudraksha mala and orange-red shawl, while blessing a devotee in a satsang setting.2013-03-06A man in an orange-saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala and heavy gold ceremonial necklace stands with his right hand raised in blessing, smiling, with a red tilak on his forehead and long swept-back dark hair. Beside him a grey-haired man in glasses and white clothes stands with hands extended, and a young man in a white shirt presses his palms together in namaste at the left edge. Behind them a blurred golden throne-like peetha and colourful temple décor frame the satsang setting. Appearance-based a person cues: long swept hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, performing blessing in a satsang hall.2013-03-06A photograph of a seated figure in orange saffron robes with a long swept-back hair and a red bindi, placing his right hand on the head of a man kneeling before him. The kneeling man wears a white shirt and yellow shawl with glasses and short hair. The figure wears a long rudraksha-style bead mala and a bare upper body under the orange wrap. Behind them a large golden deity murti or ornate gold framed backdrop, yellow and pink marigold garlands and flower arrangements, and a brass staff. A large banner image of a smiling face fills the upper background. Probable Swamiji (probable) appears as the blessing giver with matching cues: long hair, orange clothing and beaded mala.2010-10-17A smiling man in an orange-saffron garment wears a long multi-strand gold ceremonial necklace and has a white-and-red forehead marking, seated before an ornate gilded throne with floral relief carving against a red backdrop. Facing him, an older man in a white shirt and glasses leans forward, hands extended to receive or hand over a small packet or gold item. The setting appears to be a satsang or devotional gathering in a warm red-lit tent. The saffron clothing, gold necklace and throne together match the page's cues for the a person, so the figure is labelled as probable Swamiji seated in person.2013-02-08January 15 20132013-01-15 +1 copiesApril 17 20132013-04-17 +2 copiesJune 20 20122012-06-20 +1 copies
