A photo of an indoor satsang-style session in a room decorated with marigold garlands and orange drapes. A man in an orange saffron garment with an orange head covering and a white garland sits on an ornate gold-and-brown throne-like chair, gesturing with raised hands toward the audience. Several seated devotees on a red carpet face him with palms pressed together in anjali; women wear saris in green, blue, yellow and pink, and men wear white shirts. A small brass lamp and floral arrangement sit at the lower right, and a microphone stands in the foreground. The man on the throne is an appearance-based a person candidate given his saffron clothing, garland and throne seat, but the image is not certain enough to confirm identity.

April 01 20122012-04-01April 01 20122012-04-01A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and orange turban sits on a cream upholstered chair with a zebra-striped cushion, wearing a long white and red flower garland, gold bangles and a gold necklace, with long hair swept back. He looks toward a group of devotees kneeling before him on a red carpet. A woman in white and a woman in a red sari hold silver plates with fruit and offerings, and a man in a white shirt bends forward to make an offering. Behind them seated devotees sit with palms joined in anjali, including women in saris and a man in a white shirt, with orange drapery and garlands behind. A red lacquered box with compartments holding offerings sits at left. The scene suggests a padapuja-style honouring of the seated figure, with a probable Swamiji identification based on the saffron robe, orange turban, long hair, gold ornaments and garland.2012-04-01A seated man in an orange saffron robe and orange turban sits on an ornate cream throne with a long red-and-white floral garland, his long hair swept back, a gold armlet and necklace visible, and a sceptre-like staff beside him. Before him, several people in white clothes kneel on the red carpet handling small brass vessels and offerings, a woman in white with a visitor badge kneeling closest. Behind them, seated devotees watch with hands folded in anjali, including women in saris and a man in white. A red box of puja items sits to the left. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears saffron robes, an orange turban, long swept-back hair and gold ornaments on a throne, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.2012-04-01A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with an orange turban-style headwear, long dark hair, a red and white flower garland and gold bangles, seated on an ornate cream and dark-wood throne. Several devotees in front lean forward and bow with hands together. One man in white shirt and an older woman in a blue-green sari kneel close to the throne; women in yellow, orange, pink and blue saris sit on the red carpet. Red and gold curtains with marigold garlands hang behind. The seated figure has long hair, a turban-like orange headwear and rudraksha-style ornamentation consistent with the Swamiji appearance cues, so this is an appearance-based candidate present in person.2012-04-01September 08 20112011-09-08January 11 20102010-01-11 +1 copiesA satsang in a hall with dark blue curtains. A man seated on a golden throne with red cushions and garlands of red, yellow and green flowers wears a yellow robe, a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, and is the central figure; the page flags him as a person, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm, so he is described by role only. Around him on an orange and purple mat, about two dozen seated devotees in white dhotis and shawls, saffron-striped cloths and saris listen; several sit with hands folded in anjali. Microphones stand in the foreground, and small brass plates with offerings sit before the throne.2010-12-23April 01 20122012-04-01A seated man in an orange saffron robe wears a long rudraksha mala and sits on a red-cushioned golden throne with hands joined in meditation, his long hair swept back.
