A photograph of a wall-mounted screen in a hall with pink walls and red curtains. On the screen, a smiling man wearing an orange-red turban with a tilak and a white gem on the forehead, a saffron shawl, and a long beaded necklace speaks into a microphone; the page indicates he is Swamiji, though the appearance cues are only partly distinctive. Below the screen hangs a framed sign in Tamil and English prohibiting photography, video camera, mobile camera and audio recording, marked 'Strictly Prohibited'. A trident-topped brass finial stands at the right near red drapes, and a mic cable runs across the frame.

In the foreground, rows of seated participants, some with white head coverings, wear white garments and orange wraps. A standing man in the background, in the doorway, wears an orange-brown wrap, a gold necklace and long dark hair; the appearance cues are suggestive but not conclusive, so he is labelled a possible Swamiji candidate. A video camera on a tripod stands at left, and a wall sign lists photography, video camera, mobile camera and audio recording as prohibited. A large projection screen is mounted at upper right.2017-03-14September 28 20172017-09-28March 13 20172017-03-13A man in a rust-red dhoti and shawl stands barefoot on a pale mat runner in an ornate interior, wearing a dark rudraksha mala with a tilak on his forehead. A gilded throne with a leopard-print cushion and carved golden lion arms sits to the left, and a large screen shows a live feed on the right. Black speakers and a framed sign listing photography, video camera, mobile camera and audio recording prohibitions are visible. The man's presentation shows a tilak and rudraksha mala, but facial and identity cues are not distinctive enough to confirm a candidate, so his role is described as a devotee-attendant in red robes.2018-05-21February 22 20162016-02-22
