Photograph inside a temple-like hall of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests, a white and striped cushion, and a floral garland of red, yellow and purple flowers behind. The seated figure wears saffron/orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, with long swept-back hair and a tilak; a person candidate by these cues, presented on the throne as the central figure. A bald man in saffron robes with a tattoo on his arm stands at left, holding a ritual implement toward a kneeling man in white clothes who bends forward at the throne. Women in red-and-gold-bordered saffron saris with rudraksha malas stand at right, one with folded hands in namaskar and one with a white tilak, and another woman stands behind the throne in orange. A ceremonial staff or trident-like rod stands beside the throne.

A man in a white shirt and trousers leans in to place a hand on him and receives or offers a hand gesture at his chest level. Two women in saris stand at left with palms joined, one in a dark brown floral sari and one in a white sari with gold border, and a saffron-clad attendant with a mala and a man in orange shirt with raised palms stand at right. A large backdrop shows orange tree roots, and fruit and flowers rest on a side table and the throne base. This appears to be a reception or darshan setting.2009-08-06July 22 20132013-07-22February 08 20132013-02-08July 22 20132013-07-22A photograph of a Gurupoornima celebration with a long-haired figure seated on an ornate gold throne decorated with floral garlands and marigold strands. Around the throne, devotees in white and orange clothes stand close; a bald elderly man in orange robes bends toward the seated figure, a younger man in white with an orange shawl stands at the left, and a young woman in a brown kurta stands with palms pressed together at the right. A man in white holds a small object near the throne base. Five or more physical people are visible.2008-07-17A photograph of a stage event with devotees in saffron and orange-brown robes with gold borders gathered on a red-carpeted platform. A central figure seated on a gold-and-orange throne with a floral garland backdrop wears an orange robe, long hair, a white forehead band and a gold-beaded mala; the figure matches the candidate cues of long hair and ornate saffron clothing, so this is Swamiji (probable). Nearby, a man in a white shirt and light trousers and several women in saffron saris with gold borders, some with rudraksha malas, stand near the throne. Several other attendees in white and blue saris stand at right.2013-03-10July 03 20142014-07-03August 30 20092009-08-30August 29 20092009-08-29
