A photograph of a ceremonial honouring on a golden-lion-armed throne. A seated man in red-orange robes with a golden necklace and a long mala of rudraksha beads sits smiling, with a white tilak on his forehead and a microphone at his side. A man in a white shirt kneels before him, bowing his head, while the seated man reaches out to drape a red-and-maroon shawl over him. A woman in red-orange sari with a rudraksha mala stands at left holding the shawl, and golden deity figures glow in the background.2015-09-18September 20 20152015-09-20A photograph of a ritual scene in an open hall. A figure in an orange robe and orange turban sits on a red zebra-striped cushioned seat with gold-carved armrests, wearing a heavy gold necklace and holding a white string that he gives to a man. The seated figure has long hair pinned at the back, smiles and gestures with both hands. Facing him, a man in a white kurta with a red-orange shawl bows low with his hands near the string. Other people in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas stand behind, and a participant in white and red-orange stands at right. Ceiling fans, lights and white walls surround the room. The page indicates Swamiji at this event, but the seated figure's appearance shows several cues (long hair, orange turban, gold necklace, saffron robe) that are consistent with a probable identification, so this is an appearance-based candidate, shown in person.2015-07-20A photograph in a seated hall with red chairs and framed pictures on the walls. A man with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, wearing a saffron-orange robe with a yellow waistband, drapes a red and gold silk shawl over the shoulders of a bowing man in a white shirt. Behind them a cameraman in white films, and several seated audience members in striped shirts and white shirts watch. Three people are clearly visible plus partly visible seated attendees, with one standing cameraman. The man in the saffron robe has distinctive long hair, rudraksha beads and saffron clothing, which fits the Swamiji (probable) appearance cue.2015-01-03October 11 20132013-10-11October 25 20152015-10-25August 27 20142014-08-27 +1 copiesPhotograph of a stage event with a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a red-and-gold trim standing barefoot on a patterned rug, hands pressed together in greeting, beside a plush orange armchair with cushions. A man in a yellow silk garment bows deeply, offering yellow flowers, while a bald man in white dhoti and red shawl holds a silver tray. A woman in a green and gold sari sits at left. Behind them stands a decorated deity murti with garlands of orange, yellow and purple flowers, under a yellow ornamental canopy, with a painted temple backdrop. The saffron-robed figure fits the page's a person reference through clothing and hair cues, so this is a probable match.2010-11-21Indoor photo of a seated saint on a red-upholstered throne with a gilded golden backdrop. He wears an orange-saffron robe, a gold-beaded mala and a gold waist belt, with a red bindi on his forehead, and his eyes are closed. A younger man in a white t-shirt and black trousers kneels or leans forward, holding the saint's hands with a blue wristband on his arm. To the left, a bald man with white and red forehead markings and a gold necklace wears a maroon-and-gold dhoti. White lilies and green foliage decorate the setting, and a few onlookers sit in the background.2012-12-22A seated figure in an orange-brown and gold-bordered saffron garment with a red shawl and a red tilak on the forehead extends a hand in blessing over a bare-chested man with a shaved head, rudraksha mala and hoop earring, who sits with palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them a golden deity murti is garlanded with bright yellow, red, purple and white flowers, and a woman holds a baby on red cloth. The scene suggests a darshan blessing. Red drapes and a blue cloth frame the altar area.2013-11-10October 31 20132013-10-31 +1 copiesDecember 26 20152015-12-26
