A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red shawl over a saffron garment, wearing a beaded rudraksha-style necklace with gold beads and a red bindi, with long swept-back dark hair; this figure is on an ornate gold-and-red throne with velvet cushions against red drapes. Before them a man in a white short-sleeved shirt and white trousers kneels on the red platform, his back to the camera, with an orange-red cloth draped over his shoulders, receiving the seated figure's gesture. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron/orange clothing, rudraksha-style beaded necklace, seated on a gold throne. The scene is a devotee receiving blessing during a seated programme.

May 19 20132013-05-19A seated man with long dark swept-back hair, a red tilak on his forehead, an orange-saffron garment and a multi-strand rudraksha mala with gold beads, holds up a long red-orange shawl draped over his arms in front of a golden backrest and red velvet drapes. A person in a white shirt and grey trousers bends forward at the lower right, bowing at his feet on a red cloth. Behind the seated figure are stacked red-orange shawls. The page indicates Swamiji is present, and the visible cues (long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala) are consistent with a candidate, so this is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) seated on a throne receiving the bowing devotee.2013-05-19May 19 20132013-05-19May 19 20132013-05-19May 19 20132013-05-19May 19 20132013-05-19A photograph in a ceremonial hall with red velvet drapery and gilded furniture. A seated figure with swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and a gold bead necklace wears an orange-red shawl over orange garments, sits on a gold-framed throne with a red velvet cushion, and is being honoured. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands before the throne, his right hand touching the seated figure's forehead while his left hand is raised. A younger man in a white shirt and a rudraksha mala stands at the left edge, and another person's head is visible in the lower right corner. The scene shows a blessing or greeting ritual. The page attributes the event to a person, but the seated figure's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm an identity.2013-05-19May 19 20132013-05-19A photograph of a long-haired man seated on a red cushioned throne in front of an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. He wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala of dark seeds across his chest, and a red bindi on his forehead. He gestures with his right hand toward the cushion. In the foreground, a man with short dark hair in a white kurta with his back to the camera faces him. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), given the saffron clothing, rudraksha mala, long hair and throne setting, though this is an appearance-based label only. A gold-patterned base and white fur-like rug are visible at the bottom of the frame.2011-12-11A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe over a red top sits on an ornate gilded throne with red patterned cushions, a red bindi on the forehead and long dark hair. A man in a white t-shirt and a beaded necklace bends forward with his hands near the seated figure's lap, apparently in an act of reverence. Behind them are a green leafy backdrop and a floral arrangement of purple orchids, pink and white flowers. A Swamiji (probable) label applies based on the saffron robe, long swept-back hair, and the gilded throne setting, so the seated figure is marked as a probable in-person candidate.2008-10-19February 09 20122012-02-09February 09 20122012-02-09
