A man in a rust-orange turban and rust-brown garment stands barefoot on a golden pedestal beside a large gold-coloured Nandi bull statue draped with a striped tiger-print cloth. He wears a leopard-print waist wrap, a long gold necklace with a pendant, multiple rudraksha malas, gold armbands and bracelets, and holds a golden trishul trident. Colourful striped hanging decorations with orange tassels and lanterns fill the ceiling. Seated women in orange-brown saris and a man in white attire sit in the foreground, while a crowd and a large screen appear in the background. The pedestal and ornaments suggest a ceremonial setting. Swamiji (probable): the standing figure with a turban, long ornate necklace and rudraksha malas matches the page's claim.

December 08 20162016-12-08A photograph of a large indoor satsang hall with a crowd of seated devotees, many in white, saffron and orange clothing. In the foreground a bearded man with long dark hair and a saffron-orange turban and wrap sits on a tiger-skin-draped seat, wearing a tall gold crown-like ornament, a gold necklace, a leopard-print garment and gold bangles. He holds a long golden trident-topped staff in one hand and gestures with the other toward a large golden bull (Nandi) statue beside him. The Swamiji (probable) cues are the swept-back long hair, saffron clothing, ornate gold necklace and seated dais position. A large gold trident stands at the right edge, with stage cameras and lighting rigs visible in the background.2016-12-07December 08 20162016-12-08December 08 20162016-12-08December 08 20162016-12-08December 08 20162016-12-08A man seated on a raised golden throne with a golden Nandi bull sculpture at his left side, a tall golden trident standing beside him. He wears an orange-brown turban, rust-coloured dhoti and shawl, a leopard-print cloth over the seat, a large gold-and-beaded necklace, and gold armbands; his arm is extended toward the bull. Seated audience members in white, orange and saffron clothing fill the hall in front, with a large screen and a standing fan at the edges. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, with long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and a crown-like turban; he is presiding as a seated teacher at a satsang-style gathering.2016-12-07December 07 20162016-12-07December 07 20162016-12-07December 08 20162016-12-08December 07 20162016-12-07A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair and a full beard, wearing a rust-orange saffron wrap and dhoti, sitting cross-legged atop a large gilded brass Nandi bull with a tiger-striped cloth draped over its back. A tall golden trishul stands at left. Behind him, a tent hung with many colourful tassel decorations and small lamps, and a crowd of seated devotees fills the foreground and background, with cameras on tripods visible. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, a full beard, and saffron clothing, and is seated in the position of honour on the bull, matching the page's description of a procession. The scene reads as a procession or ceremonial event.2016-12-09
