A photo of a ceremonial welcome at a floral-decorated stage. A bearded priest with a bare chest, orange dhoti and orange-yellow garland holds a bundle of yellow marigolds and offers it to a long-haired man in an orange shawl and green-and-white garland who stands with palms joined in namaskar, head bowed. A white-bearded elder with white vibhuti marks stands at the left edge. Behind them are large floral arches of orange, yellow, purple and red blooms and a gold-carved throne. a person: the standing man has long swept-back hair, an orange shawl and a garland, a presentation consistent with the page, though the appearance is only partially distinctive. The scene is a satsang-style reception with garlands and flower offerings.2010-10-24A photograph of a person seated in front of a floral alcove decorated with white jasmine garlands, red and yellow flowers, and a gilded deity relief at the top. The central figure, with long dark hair and a red-brown cushioned back rest, sits with palms pressed together in namaskar and eyes closed, wearing a saffron-orange cloth and a garland with red, white and blue beads, plus gold ornaments. At left, a second man with a grey beard and saffron robe reads from a book beside a blue and orange striped cloth. The setting looks like a dim evening ritual or satsang stage.2006-12-27A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe seated on a stage, speaking into a handheld microphone with his right hand raised in a gesture of address. He wears a red bindi, a white flower garland with orange-and-green-edged ribbon, and a dark rudraksha-style mala visible at his neck. Behind him, two marigold-and-white flower garlands hang in twisted columns against a grey draped backdrop. To the right, a seated man in white ritual clothing with a red-and-gold shawl sits on a red-covered dais, and a gold ornamental object is in the lower right foreground. Several seated devotees in orange and red saris are at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the speaker with long swept-back hair, saffron robe, garland and microphone, shown in a satsang-style talk.2007-01-01September 17 20062006-09-17December 30 20062006-12-30A photograph of a satsang on a stage draped with white and red flower garlands. A long-haired figure in orange robes with a gold necklace and a red bindi sits in a red throne-like seat and speaks into a microphone on a stand. To the left, a bearded man with long hair in an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala sits seated, looking toward the speaker. A purple curtain hangs behind them. Two physical people are visible.2006-12-27December 23 20092009-12-23May 21 20062006-05-21September 17 20062006-09-17December 25 20052005-12-25June 04 20062006-06-04A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe standing barefoot on a richly decorated golden throne covered with red cushions and garlands of red roses, white jasmine and yellow marigolds. A thick red-and-white garland hangs around his neck, and a rudraksha mala rests on his chest; he has long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead. Beside the throne, a man in white ritual clothing and a white shirt with a dark cord around his neck stands near a gold-and-yellow flower-wrapped staff. A golden lion figure supports the throne base. The setting is a temple or pandal with a corrugated white roof and metal trusses overhead. The man on the throne has distinctive long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha cues matching the page's Swamiji reference, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.2006-12-30
