A standing man in a maroon-red sleeveless wrap and dhoti stands barefoot on a polished floor at the end of a long striped runner in pink, blue, green and purple. He wears a gold beaded necklace and a tilak on his forehead, and his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Behind him stand black speakers, a sound mixer and a large LED screen showing a similarly dressed figure in red-orange. On the left wall, framed photo collages show gatherings and a man giving a blessing. A framed blue sign lists photography, video, mobile camera and audio recording prohibitions in Tamil and English.

April 28 20172017-04-28A man in a rust-orange sannyasi-style wrap walks barefoot along a striped pink, blue and green runner in a pale hall. He wears a large dark rudraksha mala with a gold-coloured necklace, a white forehead mark with a red dot, and has long hair and a beard. Behind him are a red curtain, a wooden chair with red cushion, stacked red cushions, a loudspeaker on the wall, a laptop, and a framed white board with blue Tamil text. Wall photos show crowds. Ceremonial-style clothing and mala cues are visible, but no identity is confirmed from appearance; the person is described by role as a walking devotee or speaker. A satsang setting.2017-05-01April 28 20172017-04-28August 05 20172017-08-05A barefoot man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead walks down a runner of striped rugs in pink, green, blue and purple across a bright white-tiled hall. He wears a maroon-red wrap draped over one shoulder and a matching dhoti. Behind him, a large framed screen shows a live feed of the same figure in a red garment. Stage curtains in deep red hang at the right, a brass trishula stands near the wall, and wooden tables and a black speaker sit at the left. Appearance-based cues are not strong enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role as a devotee walking the rug path.2017-06-22A photograph of a single man standing barefoot on a striped rug in a bright hall with pink walls and a glossy white floor. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and matching shawl, a large gold necklace with a pendant, gold armlets and a red tilak on his forehead; his long dark hair is swept back. Behind him a framed panel shows people at an event, a wall screen displays a red-and-white image, and a blue-and-white sign lists prohibited items: photography, video camera, mobile camera and audio recording, marked Strictly Prohibited. A wooden door, a tripod, audio equipment and a bag sit nearby.2017-03-13May 01 20172017-05-01A man in a rust-brown saffron-toned robe stands in a doorway of a pale pink-walled room, wearing a rudraksha mala and a tilak on his forehead, with long dark hair swept back. A striped multicoloured runner runs across the glossy tiled floor toward him. A black cabinet with a woven basket on top sits at left, a gold-framed low table at right, and a large screen above shows a person in ornate saffron clothing with beaded necklaces. A blue sign reads Photography, Video Camera and Strictly Prohibited, and a red wooden door is at far left.2017-08-05August 02 20172017-08-02July 02 20172017-07-02July 02 20172017-07-02A man in a deep maroon-red sannyasi-style robe draped over one shoulder and wrapped at the waist walks barefoot along a striped multicolored runner in a pale room. He wears a red-and-white tilak on his forehead, a gold chain necklace and a round white flower-shaped brooch on his chest. Behind him is a doorway and a gilded framed picture on the wall. A large black speaker sits to the left, and the runner shows colored stripes of pink, blue, green and purple. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair and the maroon robe with gold-edged hem fit the presentation, but the cues are only partial, so the identification is tentative.2017-07-30
