A photograph of a standing figure in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered shawl, an orange turban, and layered rudraksha malas with a large gold pendant, hands held in anjali namaskar with head bowed. Around him, people in white clothes are kneeling and bowing, some with hands pressed together and one woman with her forehead to the floor. A banner reading A.S. Thirumana Mahal hangs on the wall above, and a yellow banner with Tamil script appears behind. The figure's distinctive orange turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold pendant match the probable Swamiji cues; the page identifies him as present at this event.2004-05-09November 11 20052005-11-11 +1 copiesNovember 10 20052005-11-10 +1 copiesNovember 11 20052005-11-11 +1 copiesPhotograph of a hall interior with a red carpet aisle running toward the viewer. A figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange head covering walks barefoot down the aisle with palms pressed together in greeting. Seated devotees in white and pale clothing line both sides, many with hands folded in namaste, including a man in a light blue shirt and white dhoti on the left and women in yellow and white saris on the right. Plastic chairs fill the aisle sides, ceiling fans hang overhead, and a sign reads A.S. Thirukkanamahal above an arched doorway.2004-05-09October 05 20122012-10-05Indoor photo in a hall with a honeycomb-patterned ceiling and hanging ceiling fans. A figure in an orange saffron robe and orange head wrap, long dark hair falling past the shoulders, walks down a red carpet with palms pressed together in namaste and eyes closed. Around him, men in white dhotis and white shirts stand along the carpet, many with hands folded in greeting; one holds an object at waist height. A small child in a yellow and red top stands among them. A banner on the balcony behind reads A.S. Thiruvannamalai Mahal, visible as partly obscured lettering. Scattered petals or small items lie on the carpet.2004-05-08Indoor photo, slightly blurred, of a smiling man in an orange-saffron turban with a red bindi and long dark hair, wearing an orange shawl with gold zari border and multiple dark red beaded malas with a large gold pendant. He stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind him is a hall with a ceiling fan, fluorescent light, a wall-mounted screen and benches. Appearance matches Swamiji (probable) by the saffron turban, long hair, orange shawl and ornate gold necklace with rudraksha-style malas, and the page states Swamiji was present at this event.2004-05-09A photo inside a hall with red curtains and a decorated deity shrine in the background. A smiling man in a rust-orange turban, rust and gold shawl, and heavy gold ceremonial necklaces with a large pendant stands at right and extends his hand to touch the forehead of a man in white shirt who bows before him. Other devotees in white shirts and orange or saffron robes, some with rudraksha malas, line up behind a metal stanchion. A dark-robed priest stands at left and a woman in an orange sari stands at far right. Cameras and a tripod are visible near the shrine. The smiling man in orange and gold has distinctive ceremonial adornments and a turban, consistent with a person candidate giving blessing.2013-08-16November 13 20132013-11-13Photograph of a satsang hall with a man in a saffron-orange turban and reddish-brown dhoti with gold border, wearing long rudraksha mala and a large gold ceremonial pendant necklace, bangles on the arm, smiling and raising his right hand in blessing toward a shaved-headed devotee in white clothes with a blue lanyard who stands with palms joined in namaste.
