A photograph of a seated figure on a golden throne with a trident mounted behind him and garlands of white jasmine and red flowers draped over the seat. The seated man has long dark hair, wears an orange-red shawl over orange robes, and smiles broadly while his right arm is extended. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, an orange and saffron robe with a red shawl, and garlands, and is seated on a throne, which is consistent with the page's description of Swamiji at this event. Facing him, a man in a white kurta holds the extended hand with both of his, bowing forward in devotion. A woman with dark hair pulled back is partially visible in the foreground, and a few other people in orange clothing stand behind. A white tent canopy overhead and floral arrangements in a brass vessel complete the setting.

December 24 20092009-12-24February 24 20072007-02-24Outdoor ceremony under a white canopy with trees behind. A figure with long dark swept-back hair, wearing orange-saffron robes and a flower garland, sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions and floral decorations. A tall golden staff stands beside the throne. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis, plus a man in an orange shawl and white kurta, stand around and attend him, with hands near the staff. A person in orange clothing stands at the left edge. The appearance cues of the seated figure (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, garland on an ornate throne) match the page's reference to Swamiji, so the figure is noted as a probable candidate, seated in darshan with devotees attending.2009-07-07December 24 20092009-12-24December 24 20092009-12-24July 08 20092009-07-08December 24 20092009-12-24December 24 20092009-12-24May 09 20142014-05-09A photo of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, surrounded by floral decorations in white, red, pink and yellow. The seated man wears a saffron-orange garment and a long white and red flower garland, with long swept-back hair, and smiles as he extends his hands. Beside him, a woman in a white sari with a red beaded necklace holds a brass tray or plate near his hands. Behind the throne stand two attendants, one in an orange garment and one in white with a rudraksha mala, and a young man in white on the right. The overall setting is a ceremonial welcome or felicitation on a stage. The seated man is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, and a flower garland, presented as a seated honoured figure.2008-07-17July 07 20092009-07-07July 08 20092009-07-08
