A photograph in a ceremonial hall with deep red curtains. A woman with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like armrests, wearing an orange-saffron garment with red borders and a rudraksha mala, holding a small sweet in her hand. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt kneels and bows his forehead to the cushion before her feet. Behind them, a man in orange robes holds a white tray of offerings, and a younger man in white stands to the left. A small brass lamp sits on the floor. The woman is presented with reverence as the Aadhi Peetha Bidadi event for Deepavali, though the setting is shown here as a seated darshan with padapuja-style obeisance.2006-10-21A photograph of a padapuja ritual on a stage with a red and gold backdrop. A seated man in orange robes with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, holding an orange fruit and smiling. Two devotees in white clothes lie prostrate on a striped rug, one kissing the seated man's bare feet while the other bows low. A standing man in orange robes with long curly hair stands at left, and a woman in a white top with a grey shawl stands at right beside a small table with a microphone and a small bottle and offerings. The seated man matches the candidate appearance of Swamiji, with long hair and orange robes, so the presence is probable.2009-11-17A photograph of a long-haired figure in orange-saffron robes seated on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, a carved lion-head armrest and a garland of yellow and red flowers behind. A man in white clothes kneels on a white cloth and bows his head to touch the seated figure's feet with his forehead, while a standing man in orange robes with a red shawl and a smiling woman in orange with a beaded necklace look on. A green backdrop with bamboo leaves stands behind them. The seated figure is a person by appearance cues of long swept hair, saffron robes and a seated-throne position, so the in_person label applies.2008-10-18 +1 copiesOctober 21 20062006-10-21 +1 copiesJuly 07 20092009-07-07March 10 20132013-03-10A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-carved throne with red cushions and gold lion-head armrests, draped in orange saffron robes with long dark hair swept back. A devotee in white clothing kneels on a white cloth, bowing with hands pressed together and touching the seated figure's bare feet, a padapuja-style honouring. Behind the throne are yellow and red marigold garlands, white lilies and red roses, and green bamboo. On the left stands a woman in orange robes with rudraksha beads and a red-bordered shawl, hands clasped. The seated figure's presentation with saffron robe, long hair and ceremonial throne is a distinctive cue, so this is a person in person.2008-10-18 +1 copiesA seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with a red velvet back and cushion, a microphone on a stand before him. A young man in white clothes with an orange shawl kneels or bows toward the throne from the left, while another person in orange sits at the lower right edge.

A standing man in orange robes and a shawl stands to the right, and a silver tray with a small lamp and flowers rests on the gold pedestal. Books and a box with fruit sit on a side table at left, and yellow flowers stand in a vase at right. A portrait in a gold frame is partly visible at the left edge.2009-08-15February 24 20072007-02-24A photo of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, a microphone on a stand before him.

Books are stacked on a table to the right and a fan and water bottles sit nearby against a pink-and-yellow backdrop. a person appears as the seated figure on the throne, identified by his saffron robes, red forehead mark and throne seating.2009-11-20October 18 20082008-10-18 +1 copies
