A seated man in a saffron-orange silk garment wrapped over the shoulders and a deep red turban with a trailing red fabric streamer sits on a gilded ornate throne. He wears layered beaded rudraksha-style necklaces and matching bead bracelets and armlets, and reads a sheet of paper he holds. A man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and bead bracelet leans in to hand him a folded document from a wooden box, while a woman in white and gold-bordered traditional dress stands beside them at a satsang-style gathering. Gilded throne carvings and a dark red cushion frame the scene.

November 15 20112011-11-15November 15 20112011-11-15A photograph of a seated man in an orange turban and orange robe, wearing red and white flower garlands, gold bangles and a gold necklace, with a red bindi on his forehead. He holds a sheet of white paper and reads it. In front of him, a man in a white kurta leans forward and holds the paper, appearing to submit a written request. Behind them, a figure in orange robes with a white tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala stands. Red and orange stage backdrop with soft lights.2012-04-01November 15 20112011-11-15A photograph of a satsang setting in a room with cream walls and red cushioned seating. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead band, a bare upper body wrapped in saffron/orange cloth, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold ceremonial necklace sits cross-legged on a red cushion, smiling as he holds a small white card toward a young man in a white polo shirt with an orange lanyard who sits facing him with hands folded. Behind them, a seated figure in orange robes with a flower garland and a raised hand is a statue on a golden throne with a red backrest. Swamiji (probable) is the long-haired man with the malas and gold necklace, shown in a teaching or question-and-answer exchange; the seated figure behind is a depiction.2012-10-07September 15 20112011-09-15A seated man in a yellow turban, yellow dhoti and yellow shawl, with long wavy hair, rudraksha beads and gold bangles, smiles while receiving a framed photograph or card from a hand in front of him. Beside him a woman in a red and gold sari stands near a brass oil lamp with a red bag, and a man in white dhoti and shirt with a tilak holds a small child. Another woman in a white sari with hair pinned faces him. Marigold garlands hang at the right edge and a red curtain sits behind. The man in yellow matches the described a person appearance cues, so this is a person receiving a puja offering from devotees.2011-11-04A seated man in an orange turban and orange robe, adorned with white and red flower garlands and gold armband and necklace, reads a small white paper on a dark, cushioned throne-like chair. Swamiji (probable): long, swept-back hair, orange turban, orange garments and ceremonial gold necklaces mark him as the central figure. A man in a white kurta with glasses leans in from the left, holding a small object. Another man with a shaved head, white tilak and orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands at left, and a partially visible person in white is at right edge. Warm, golden-toned event backdrop.2012-04-01July 17 20082008-07-17September 14 20152015-09-14 +1 copiesA photograph of a satsang-style gathering in an indoor hall with a red-draped backdrop. In the centre, a man in saffron and orange robes with a matching orange-and-gold turban, a gold-and-rudraksha necklace, rudraksha mala beads and gold armbands holds a small white paper and reaches out to touch the forehead of a devotee with folded hands. Other devotees in white and maroon clothing stand nearby, and a man in white with a yellow-bordered dhoti stands at the right edge. Several more people are visible in the background. Only the centre figure shows distinctive ceremonial cues consistent with the page's reference, so the identity is uncertain and described by role here.2013-07-07A photograph of a ritual blessing in a temple-like hall. A long-haired man in an orange saffron robe with a gold-toned necklace, rudraksha-style beaded malas, and gold armlets places his right hand on the head of a seated, bespectacled older man in a white shirt. The orange-robed figure holds a folded white paper in his left hand and smiles. Behind them, priests in white dhotis and orange garments stand, a decorated altar with a red throne-like seat glows in the background, and a tray of small objects sits at lower right. Swamiji (probable): the long, swept-back hair, saffron robe, ornate gold necklace and beaded malas fit the page's Swamiji attribution, so this is an appearance-based candidate.2012-04-14
