A photograph of a courtyard session at an ashram. A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair, a white forehead mark, a bare-chested saffron-brown shawl and a gold necklace sits on an ornate silver-carved sofa with leopard-print and tiger-print cushions, holding a microphone. Behind him hangs a bronze Nataraja dancing Shiva within a flame arch on a red wall. Seated listeners in orange and saffron clothing, many with hair tied back, fill the foreground, and a woman in a rust-brown sari at right holds a steel cup. A carved pillar and orange cloth frame the left side. Probable Swamiji is seated on the sofa with the microphone; the appearance cues are the long swept-back hair, the bare-chested shawl and the gold necklace.

February 17 20172017-02-17A bearded man with long dark hair sits on an ornate silver-framed bench, smiling and holding a handheld microphone. He wears a rust-brown shawl draped over bare shoulders, a gold necklace and a white forehead mark. Behind him a bronze Nataraja dancing Shiva statue stands in front of a red wall, and a leopard-print cushion lies at his side. Seated devotees in rust and orange clothing face him from the foreground, and a steel bowl is held nearby. The setting appears to be a courtyard session. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and a rust-brown shawl, speaking at the front of the gathering.2017-02-17February 17 20172017-02-17February 17 20172017-02-17February 17 20172017-02-17February 17 20172017-02-17May 05 20172017-05-05May 05 20172017-05-05February 17 20172017-02-17May 05 20172017-05-05May 05 20172017-05-05May 05 20172017-05-05
