A photograph of a seated man giving a talk at a mass satsang event on an illuminated stage. He sits on a large white throne-style armchair, wearing an orange-saffron upper cloth with gold border, orange dhoti, and an orange turban, with a rudraksha mala draped over his chest. His hands are folded in his lap and he is barefoot on a white cloth-covered platform. A microphone on a stand is in front of him. Behind him is a painted rock-mountain backdrop with green plants and red lighting, and pink draping lines the stage edge. Two printed banners hang at the top: one reads the Tamil title and the other Dhyana Satsangam Salem. Palm fronds appear in the foreground. The image is a photo, not a graphic, and a few people are not visible in the scene.

A photograph of a stage event with a figure in saffron-orange robes and matching turban standing barefoot in front of a large white armchair, hands pressed together in namaskar. A long rudraksha mala hangs over the orange garment. A stage backdrop of painted rock formations, plants and draped brown fabric sits behind, with orange-hued cloth at the base. Two men in white shirts and white dhotis stand at the right edge of the stage, and sandals rest near the platform. Paper signs with red Tamil lettering hang on the backdrop. The figure matches the Swamiji candidate in appearance, with long swept-back hair, saffron robes, turban and rudraksha mala, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.2004-12-03A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on a white throne-style chair on a red-carpeted stage at a satsang. Hands are folded in the lap and the figure looks to the side while a microphone stands before them. The backdrop is a painted rock-and-foliage set with potted palms, draped pink fabric and string lights overhead. A man in white shirt and light trousers stands at the left edge holding papers. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, orange turban and ceremonial presentation on the throne match the candidate cues, so the seated figure is recorded as a probable Swamiji in person.
