In the foreground, a man in a saffron-orange wrap with a thick brown rudraksha-style mala and gold beads sits facing right, his hair tied in a bun, extending his hands toward a younger man. That younger man, in a white kurta and orange-red patterned shawl, has his palms pressed together in namaskar and holds a folded paper.

The seated figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference only partially, with mala and gold-bead cues but no clearly distinctive crown or swept hair, so identity is uncertain.2015-03-02 +1 copiesJuly 17 20152015-07-17October 06 20152015-10-06March 03 20152015-03-03A photograph of a satsang gathering.

A figure in an orange robe and orange turban sits on a red zebra-striped cushioned seat with gold-carved armrests, wearing a heavy gold necklace and holding a white string that he gives to a man. The seated figure has long hair pinned at the back, smiles and gestures with both hands. Facing him, a man in a white kurta with a red-orange shawl bows low with his hands near the string. Other people in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas stand behind, and a participant in white and red-orange stands at right. Ceiling fans, lights and white walls surround the room. The page indicates Swamiji at this event, but the seated figure's appearance shows several cues (long hair, orange turban, gold necklace, saffron robe) that are consistent with a probable identification, so this is an appearance-based candidate, shown in person.2015-07-20July 10 20132013-07-10
