June 04 20182018-06-04A man seated on a silver and red ornate throne with swan-shaped armrests, hands pressed together in namaste, wearing rust-orange robes, a gold chain and a rudraksha-style bead necklace, with long dreadlocked hair swept up and a white forehead marking. Around him, seated on white cloth and red steps, devotees in white, cream and orange garments with beaded malas listen; a woman in white with grey hair sits among them. Behind them stand gold elephant statues and a framed deity image on a red altar. The man has long swept-back hair, a crown-like coil, saffron-orange robes, rudraksha beads and a gold necklace, so this appears to be a probable Swamiji seated in a satsang setting.2018-05-12May 11 20162016-05-11Photo of a ritual scene on a raised platform in front of an ornate silver backdrop. A bearded man with a leopard-print yellow headband sits on a silver-and-maroon throne wearing a dark red-orange robe, long rudraksha mala and gold necklace; he holds a white cord. Around him, women in orange saris with white tilak marks assist: one bends to tie a white blindfold over a seated devotee's eyes, another holds a bundle of white cords, and a third stands at right holding a white cord. A black speaker stand and small deity statue are at left, with a yellow pot at lower left.2017-12-10December 31 20152015-12-31A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe with a brown rudraksha-style mala draped over his shoulders sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a golden back panel and a gold staff beside him. He has a red bindi and a smile, and his bare feet rest on the red cushion. In front of him, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with gold border kneels with palms joined in namaskara. Behind the throne, two women in rust-red and white saris wear beaded necklaces and stand on a red carpet, one holding a microphone, with green foliage behind. The scene resembles a formal darshan or padapuja setting. Appearance-based cues on the seated man (saffron robe, rudraksha mala, ceremonial throne) are present, but the image is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the seated man is described by role.2016-05-11Photograph of a ceremonial gathering on a stage before an ornate gold throne with carved panels. A central seated figure in a rust-red robe with long dreadlocks, a beaded mala and a red cushion gestures with one raised hand while smiling; the figure is an appearance-based a person candidate with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha-style mala, so the appearance is consistent but not fully certain. Around him stand several people: a man at left with glasses, a white dhoti and a rudraksha mala with a horned trident above; a bare-chested man with dreadlocks and gold armbands in white dhoti; a woman in a yellow-gold garment with long hair; a figure in orange robes with long dreadlocks seen from behind; and a smiling woman at right in a red blouse and green sari with a long braid and a beaded mala.2016-05-24A man in an orange-rust draped robe and a rust turban with a gold emblem sits on a red silver-framed throne, gesturing with his right hand while speaking. He wears a long gold chain, rudraksha beads across his chest and a red wrist thread, and has long hair and a full beard. Behind him stand a silver ceremonial staff and a golden figure. Seated devotees in white and cream clothing, including a woman in cream sari with a raised hand and a man in white, listen and raise hands, in a hall with wooden doors. a person appears in person, seated on the throne as the speaker, matching the satsang setting.2018-05-11Indoor ritual setting with a man seated on an ornate golden-and-brown throne with a lion-armrest, wearing a red and orange cloth, a rudraksha-style mala and a bare upper body, his hand resting over a low wooden table holding a sheet of paper.

A person in white with a red shawl stands behind, and a tripod light and a fan are visible at right.2015-09-19July 28 20172017-07-28December 31 20152015-12-31A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a tall gold back, wearing a saffron-red robe, a white-and-purple flower garland and beaded necklaces, with white markings on his forehead and an armband. Beside him, a woman in an orange sari sits on a striped multicolored mat, and a bald man in white dhoti with white forehead marks holds a silver plate of offerings. Other attendees sit nearby in orange and cream clothing, one standing in orange at the top of stone steps. A gold staff with a trident-like finial stands by the throne. The scene suggests a ritual gathering with offerings on plates.2017-06-26
