August 29 20092009-08-29A seated figure in orange saffron robes sits cross-legged on a large white cushioned throne against a deep red curtain, smiling and holding papers. He wears a long rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured ceremonial necklace, with a red tilak on his forehead and long swept-back dark hair. A bare-chested devotee in a white shirt and white trousers bows low before him, bending at the waist. Flanked by vases of pink and white flowers and a microphone on a stand, a small framed picture and a water bottle sit on a white side table. A red and cream cushion rests beside the throne, and a red mat lies on the floor in front.2009-08-29September 17 20062006-09-17A photograph of an indoor room with a cream-coloured wall and a white fan behind. A seated man in an orange turban, orange robes and a gold beaded necklace sits in an ornate wooden armchair with gold-trimmed arms, smiling, a small red mark on his forehead, one hand resting on a silver tray. A man in a white kurta and white trousers, seen from behind, stands before him holding a bunch of red roses. A white fur rug lies on the floor. Partially visible in the background is another person in teal clothing. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears orange turban and robes with gold beaded necklace and sits on a throne-like chair, matching the page's Swamiji darshan context.2007-09-03February 24 20072007-02-24A photograph on a stage with pink and silver draped curtains and a decorative gold metal panel. A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on the forehead, an orange-saffron robe, gold bangles and a red-and-white flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, smiling. A man with a shaved head in a white shirt and white dhoti bows forward and touches the seated figure's hands, which are clasped with the bowing man's hands. A woman in white stands behind them, and a man in a light checked shirt stands at the right edge. Marigold and rose garlands decorate the throne and a white-draped table. The seated figure matches Swamiji (probable) by long hair, saffron robe and ornate throne, and is seated in the role of the one being honoured; the bowing man is a devotee in white.2009-07-11A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on an ornate gilded throne with a carved red-cushioned back and a small gilded lion-form footrest. A tiered gilded umbrella hangs above him. He wears a long red and white flower garland with a yellow flower pendant and a red forehead mark, and he smiles with eyes closed. In front of him a man in white dhoti and shirt kneels on a white-draped platform with hands in anjali. A man in white dhoti and shirt with a dark pendant necklace stands at the left. Behind them is a large red and silver backdrop with a purple bird logo at upper left. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and orange clothing, which are appearance cues consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so the seated man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji in person.2007-02-24A seated figure in an orange saffron robe and a thick white and red flower garland receives ritual attention in a room with orange-painted walls and a speckled grey floor scattered with marigold petals. A devotee in a white shirt and white dhoti kneels low at the figure's feet, holding a small metal vessel. The seated figure, with a white tilak on the forehead, smiles and rests a hand near a bouquet of pink and white roses on a gold-patterned cloth. Plates of flowers and a bowl sit on the floor, and a doorway behind shows a blue chair.2009-08-03A photograph of an indoor teaching hall with wood-panelled walls and a tiled floor. A long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe, with an ornate gold necklace, sits laughing in a cream-upholstered chair with gold-trimmed arms. A woman in a checked orange-and-maroon sari kneels on a white cloth and fits orange sandals onto his bare feet. A man in an all-white kurta and white dhoti, with a red-beaded necklace, stands on the right clapping. Behind them are a floral arrangement, a brass lamp, colourful painted pillars and folding chairs with several seated attendees at the edge of the frame.2006-05-10Photograph of a darshan or padapuja scene in an indoor pavilion with a red-curtained backdrop. A man with long dark hair and an orange robe with a white flower garland sits on a white cushioned seat with bare feet, smiling and extending his hand. A woman in a beige top and orange shawl kneels before him, hands together, while a man in white shirt stands beside her. A man in white with an orange shawl stands nearby, and a man in a white shirt on the left faces the seat. Behind them stand several onlookers including a woman in a green sari. Fruit and flower offerings are on a table at the lower left. A seated figure in orange robes appears on a gold throne at the upper left, partly cropped. The scene is dim with a standing fan and draped decorative cloth.2007-02-11February 24 20072007-02-24September 17 20062006-09-17
