A photograph inside a temple hall of a seated man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped in a leopard-print cloth with green leaves and red flowers tucked in it, wearing gold hoop earrings, a saffron-orange robe, a white jasmine garland with red and orange flower bands and a gold bead necklace, and heavy gold bangles. He sits on a red-cushioned silver throne with a carved lion-head armrest, extending an arm toward a shaven-headed man in a bare-chested white dhoti in the left foreground. In the lower right, another bare-chested devotee with a sacred thread leans in front of the seated figure. A cameraman and a woman in the background are visible.

He wears a leopard-print turban, a vertical red mark and white horizontal tilak on his forehead, and a thick garland of yellow marigolds, white jasmine and pink roses. He is draped in a maroon-brown cloth with layered gold necklaces and a gold pendant, wears gold armlets and red-and-gold beaded bracelets, and holds a silver trident-shaped staff upright with his right hand while smiling. Blurred figures in red and white sit in the background. Page-linked ritual context suggests a satsang, but the visible scene shows only the seated figure and the staff.2017-08-25October 08 20172017-10-08A seated man in red-orange robes, with a rudraksha mala necklace, a bare chest, and a small microphone clipped to his collar, smiles while extending his hand to a kneeling devotee in a white t-shirt who holds a fruit or offering.

Probable Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, with long swept-back hair, ornate gold-bordered red cloth, and rudraksha malas, receiving an offering during what appears to be a satsang setting.2014-04-17December 15 20172017-12-15September 06 20172017-09-06April 30 20162016-04-30September 10 20172017-09-10 +1 copiesSeptember 10 20172017-09-10A seated man in a maroon-brown robe with a heavy gold ceremonial necklace and gold armlets sits on an ornate white-and-silver throne, one hand raised toward a young man in white headband and white dhoti.
