October 11 20132013-10-11A man in a white collared shirt and dark trousers hands a small blue book to a smiling figure seated on a red tiger-striped cushioned throne in front of a large gold ornate backrest. The seated figure wears a saffron-orange garment over the shoulder, a long rudraksha mala, gold armbands and bangles, and a headset microphone, with long swept-back dark hair. Nearby, saffron-robed priests with white tilak marks sit on the floor, one receiving books, and another gold-throned figure in saffron sits behind. Stacks of books lie on a red cloth, and another hand reaches in from the lower right. A temple-style gold and red decorative panel is visible at the top right. a person cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, seated on the throne, distributing books.2013-10-28October 11 20132013-10-11A photograph of a formal seated encounter in a red-draped hall. On the left, a figure in a tall orange-red turban, a saffron-and-gold shawl, and layered beaded and gold necklaces sits on a gilded throne and reaches forward to clasp the hands of a man in a light blue striped shirt and glasses, who leans in at the right with a gold wristwatch. Behind the throne sits a bald man in a saffron-and-white sash with a forehead band, rudraksha garlands and a gold pendant. A woman in a cream sari with rudraksha and gold garlands stands at the top right. Behind them are a gold kalasha-style oil lamp, a golden ornamental pillar and a deity-like gold figure. Swamiji (probable) is the figure on the left, identified by the turban, saffron-gold clothing and layered garlands; treat this as appearance-based only.2015-10-08October 28 20132013-10-28September 20 20152015-09-20October 11 20132013-10-11July 27 20142014-07-27April 24 20162016-04-24A seated meeting in a room with gold-carved thrones and a red-cushioned seat.
