September 12 20112011-09-12A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair and white vibhuti on his forehead stands in an orange saffron robe with gold border, wearing a heavy gold bead necklace and a rudraksha mala. He holds a small folded paper in one hand and rests the other hand gently on the shoulder of a man in a light-colored shirt who has his hands folded in namaste. Behind them, other devotees in white and brown clothing stand under a white tent canopy with a blue curtain. The setting appears to be a satsang or darshan gathering.2011-02-25 +1 copiesA man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a red and gold turban and a long garland of yellow beads and red flowers, walks down a procession lane while smiling and raising one hand toward devotees. Devotees line both sides with palms pressed together in greeting behind steel stanchions. A man in white dhoti and shirt with a golden border, a shaved head and glasses, carries a tray of offerings and a wooden box. He also wears a rudraksha mala. Beige walls and ceiling lights are visible in the background, with a purple logo at the upper left.

He rests one hand on the forehead of a man at left who has his eyes closed and palms pressed together in namaste; a small purple mark is on that man's forehead. Others in white and orange clothing stand around in a crowded indoor hall, and an orange-robed attendant is at right. The sheer crowd and garlanded central figure suggest a blessing moment, but the appearance of the central figure is not clearly enough distinctive to establish identity.2012-04-21Indoor photo at a hall with bright ceiling lights and blurred onlookers. A man in a red and gold turban and a blue garment, garlanded with white flowers and yellow marigolds, with rudraksha malas and a red tilak, smiles while extending his hand to bless a devotee. Devotees in white and light shirts, one with hands pressed together, bow forward. Monks in white and orange-saffron robes with white tilak marks stand at the right edge. A visitor badge hangs from a devotee's neck. The scene reads as a pada puja event, with devotees touching the feet of the honoured figure. Swamiji (probable) is shown in appearance as the central garlanded figure, wearing a crown-like red turban, blue clothing, rudraksha malas and gold ornaments.2011-12-14November 29 20112011-11-29 +1 copiesNovember 24 20112011-11-24A man in a bright yellow turban with a teal feather ornament and a jewelled brooch, wearing a yellow saffron-style robe with red-and-gold borders and a red-beaded rudraksha-style mala, raises his right hand in a blessing gesture toward a man with glasses on the left.

In the centre, a man in saffron and orange robes with a matching orange-and-gold turban, a gold-and-rudraksha necklace, rudraksha mala beads and gold armbands holds a small white paper and reaches out to touch the forehead of a devotee with folded hands. Other devotees in white and maroon clothing stand nearby, and a man in white with a yellow-bordered dhoti stands at the right edge. Several more people are visible in the background. Only the centre figure shows distinctive ceremonial cues consistent with the page's reference, so the identity is uncertain and described by role here.2013-07-07
