A photo of a stage at a discourse hall. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and sitting barefoot on a white-draped seat, reads from loose sheets of paper while a microphone on a stand stands beside him. Behind him is a gilded throne with lion figures and a framed portrait of a seated figure in orange robes with a garland, flanked by two golden deity figures. A small brass kalasha-style vessel and a white-covered table with a microphone sit at the left, and a chalkboard stands at the right edge. The orange-robed man is a probable Swamiji on the stage, and is also a qualifying cue match based on long hair and saffron clothing.

A photograph of a man seated on a white-draped dais reading papers, wearing an orange-saffron robe and bare feet, with long dark hair swept back. He holds several sheets in both hands, and a microphone stand is at his right. Behind him is a framed picture of a figure in orange robes with a long beaded necklace, flanked by golden deity statues and a gold lamp stand on a white-draped table at left. A red-carpeted platform and dark drape frame the stage. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, long swept-back hair and ornate beaded necklace in the framed portrait are consistent with the page's identification of the speaker.2006-07-20A photo on a stage at a discourse hall. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes sits barefoot on a white-draped chair on a green-and-red striped rug, reading papers held in both hands, with a tray of papers on his lap. A microphone stands on a stand beside him, and a microphone sits on a draped table at left next to a water bottle and a small brass pot. Behind him are a gilded throne, two gold standing deity murtis with raised arms, a gold shrine-like pot, and a large portrait backdrop of a seated saffron-clad figure with a rudraksha mala. A visible person in saffron robes with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala appears in the scene; he is an appearance-based candidate, so identity is probable but the cues are moderately distinctive.2006-07-20A photograph of a seated figure on a white-draped stage reading slips of paper from a red-and-white box in their lap. The person wears a long orange-saffron robe with a shawl draped over the shoulders and has long dark hair. A microphone on a stand stands at the right, and a water bottle and a small brass vessel sit on a white-covered table at the left. Behind the stage, a golden throne-like peetha backs a framed image with a printed caption, flanked by two ornate gold deity figures and a gold pyramid-shaped kalasha vessel. The stage floor has a striped woven mat. The appearance-based cues of long hair and orange robe are present, so this is a probable Swamiji depiction in person, seated on a throne-style seat.2006-07-20July 20 20062006-07-20A photograph of a single person seated on a white-draped stage at a discourse event. The person wears an orange saffron robe draped over the shoulders and lap, with long dark hair, and is reading from loose papers held in both hands. A microphone on a stand stands to the right. Behind the seat is a large gold-framed backdrop showing a painted image of a robed, long-haired figure in orange seated among trees. Flanking the seat are ornate gold ritual objects: a four-armed deity murti on the left, a gold lion-shaped figure, and a gold kalasha-style vessel on a table at the left edge. A water bottle sits on the floor near the stage edge and a red-and-green cloth lines the platform.2006-07-20July 20 20062006-07-20January 27 20072007-01-27July 20 20062006-07-20August 18 20092009-08-18December 08 20092009-12-08January 27 20072007-01-27A seated teacher in saffron-orange robes speaks into a microphone on a stage draped with white cloths.

Two ornate gold standing deity murti flank the throne, and a gilded kalasha-style vessel sits on a table at left. At right a musician in white with an orange cloth plays an instrument.2006-07-20
