A seated figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and wrap, with long dark hair swept back into a bun, a white forehead mark, and gold bangles and necklaces, sits on a red velvet throne with gold lion-head armrests, palms pressed together in namaskar. Facing him, a woman in white sari with a saffron blouse and a man in white kurta and dhoti bow with palms joined, while a child in black top and white shawl bends forward in prostration on the white floor. Metal offering bowls sit on a patterned carpet before them, with red drapes and a studio light behind. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, saffron clothing, gold jewellery and throne are the cues for this identification.

January 17 20132013-01-17September 21 20142014-09-21A photograph in an indoor hall with cream walls, a maroon velvet backdrop and a gold-trimmed throne-style seat. A man seated on the left wears an orange-saffron robe with a draped shawl, long swept-back hair, a white tilak on his forehead, layered beaded necklaces, bangles and armbands, and holds a small silver bowl in one hand. Three women stand before him: one in a white sari with grey border and hands pressed together in namaskar, another in a black top with a patterned scarf, and a third in white salwar kameez with a gold necklace, facing him. A white tower air cooler stands at right and a figure is visible in a mirror behind. The seated man is a probable match for Swamiji by the orange robe, long hair, and layered ornaments, so the swamiji field is in_person.2013-01-17A seated figure in an orange-red sari with a red-and-gold blouse, wearing a coral bead necklace, gold earrings and beaded bracelets, reaches out to a golden tortoise-shaped object while a man in a white shirt kneels beside it, hands held together in reverence. Behind them a woman in white with a rudraksha-style mala stands on a red carpet, with other people in white and orange clothing in a hall with a red-curtained wall and framed pictures. This appears to be a darshan or padapuja setting with a golden tortoise base.2014-11-07Photo 11729567June 12 20142014-06-12Photo 11729562A seated man in a rust-red turban with a gold brooch, gold ornaments on his arms and a multi-strand gold beaded necklace, wearing a red and gold garment over a leopard-print cloth, smiles while extending his right hand in blessing toward a kneeling man in a white shirt who bows forward and holds a small golden object in his hands. Behind them stands a golden lion-figured throne draped with purple cloth and floral garlands. Two women in white saris and a child stand in the background near a red carpeted hall with a floor fan. The seated man presents as a person by his turban, ornate gold adornments and red-gold clothing, while the bowing devotee receives his blessing.2014-04-13January 20 20132013-01-20Photo 11729729November 04 20152015-11-04A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a leopard-print cloth and a red-and-white flower garland sits on a red-upholstered throne with a gold lion-head armrest, extending one arm forward. A man in a striped grey shirt kneels on red carpet with hands joined, receiving the blessing. Behind them, two women in white clothes stand near an air conditioner, one with an orange scarf and one with a white shawl; a woman in white with an orange cord hands an offering toward the kneeling man. Gold-draped red curtains frame the left side. The seated person has long hair and wears saffron and ornate clothing, a probable match for a person from the page cues, but the face is not identifiable and the appearance is partly obscured.2014-04-07
