A photograph of a devotional gathering in a hall with golden-framed throne-style seating. A man on the left wears an orange robe with rudraksha malas, a purple crown-like headpiece, and sits on a red-cushioned golden throne, facing right. Seated on the floor in front are several women and girls in orange, red and white saris, one in a yellow shawl, and a man in white with a bald head. Brass and silver plates with pink flowers and offerings sit on a golden tray in the centre. A woman in a blue sari sits near the right edge, and a fan, curtain and a small framed sign are visible in the background. Probable Swamiji (appearance cues: orange robe, rudraksha malas, crown-like headpiece, throne) is seated on the throne, presiding over the gathering.

Around him, a group of devotees sit on the floor with palms pressed together in anjali mudra; women wear yellow and cream saris and men wear white. In front of them are brass plates with flowers, a lit oil lamp and small offerings. Probable Swamiji (in-person candidate: long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala, seated on a gilded throne). A man in orange also sits to the left, holding a microphone. Blue and maroon curtains frame the stage.2011-01-22October 27 20102010-10-27October 26 20102010-10-26A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a carved golden back, wearing an orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, with long swept-back dark hair. Before him on a wooden table sit a tray of flowers and several silver plates of offerings. Several women in orange and red saris with orange shawls kneel or sit with hands folded in namaskar, facing the throne. A bald monk in orange sits in the foreground with his back to the camera, and a woman in white with a braided plait sits at the lower right. A ceiling fan, window and dark curtains are visible in the hall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and orange robes on a gold throne, and is the central honoured figure, so this is a presence claim based on those cues.2010-10-26October 24 20102010-10-24 +1 copiesOctober 26 20102010-10-26 +1 copiesA photograph of a padapuja-style offering inside a temple hall.
