He wears layered beaded necklaces with a rudraksha-style mala, a red garland, bangles and a shawl. Several devotees sit on the floor before him, including a woman in white with a red blouse and a man in orange, and a woman in white with a gold border kneeling with joined palms. Brass oil lamps stand beside the throne and a painted backdrop of a large tree is behind it. The man's appearance with long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads fits the Swamiji (probable) cues, and the page places him at this satsang, so he is shown in person seated in a teaching role among devotees.2013-01-06July 17 20082008-07-17Indoor photo of a long-haired man in a sleeveless saffron-orange garment seated on an orange cushioned seat with a yellow cloth, smiling and extending his hand toward a small child in white who reaches up toward a man in white with an orange shawl.
