September 04 20112011-09-04A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with an arched gilded back carved with scrollwork and figures. He wears a deep magenta-red draped garment with gold border, one shoulder bare, a heavy gold bead necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a red bindi on his forehead. He smiles and raises one hand in greeting while the other rests on his knee.

Bare feet rest on a red cushion; small offerings and flowers appear at the base of the dais.2011-11-11 +1 copiesPhotoAlbum +1 copiesA photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a deep red velvet back, gesturing with his right hand raised, index finger pointing upward, while speaking. He wears a yellow turban with a jewelled ornament, a yellow shawl draped over his shoulders, a red robe, red trousers, a multi-strand rudraksha mala with gold beads, and gold bangles on both arms. A red bindi marks his forehead. Gilded carved lion-form armrests flank the throne. A faint purple logo appears in the upper left, and a copyright notice is visible at lower right. The cues of yellow turban, rudraksha mala and saffron-toned clothing are distinctive, and the page indicates Swamiji was present, so the seated teacher is a probable Swamiji candidate in person.2011-09-12 +1 copiesA smiling man seated on an ornate gold-and-red velvet throne raises his right hand in a blessing gesture. He wears a cream-yellow turban with a jewelled ornament and a blue peacock-feather style accessory, a red tilak on his forehead, and a red and gold striped silk garment draped over one shoulder. A gold-coloured shawl hangs over his arm, and he wears long gold-and-beaded necklaces, rudraksha bracelets and small earrings.

He wears a peach-coloured turban with gold trim and a small red bindi, a peach draped garment with gold border, a leopard-print shawl and matching leopard-print lower wrap, and multiple strands of heavy gold beaded necklaces with a gold armlet. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders and he sits with legs folded on the throne. Appearance-based cues of long hair, turban, ornate gold adornments and saffron-toned clothing match the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable in-person depiction of Swamiji seated in a throne setting.2011-11-20 +1 copiesSeptember 15 20112011-09-15September 01 20112011-09-01A seated man in a large fan-pleated maroon turban with gold edging and a small jewel at the front sits cross-legged on a gold-carved throne with maroon velvet cushions.
