A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, sitting on a colourful patterned cloth draped over an orange-covered seat. He is in a pale room with a window and curtain behind him, and a metal stand with a microphone nearby. Facing him, a man in a white kurta wears an orange-red shawl and holds a pen or marker, appearing to write or sign something held in his hands. Appearance cues of long hair and saffron robes are compatible with a Swamiji (probable) but this is an appearance-based label only.

December 05 20092009-12-05July 09 20092009-07-09Photograph of two men seated indoors on a cushioned sofa with a yellow-green floral pattern, in front of a flat-screen television and a wooden media stand holding AV equipment. The man on the right wears an orange-red robe draped over his shoulders with a red undershirt and a red tilak on his forehead; he sits with a small booklet or paper open in his hands, reading. The man on the left, shown from behind and to the side, has long curly dark hair and wears a white kurta; he leans in with one hand extended toward the booklet, as if explaining or pointing to something on the page. The setting appears to be a private room with a plain white wall. Appearance cues for the robed man include orange-red clothing and a forehead mark, but the face and hair are not sufficiently distinctive to confirm an identity, so the role is given as a seated man in a sannyasi-style robe.2009-07-10A photograph of an orange-robed figure seated on an orange-draped throne, eyes closed, one hand resting on the chest and the other on the armrest. A man in white ritual clothes kneels beside the throne, reaching toward the robes. Behind them a framed portrait shows a smiling figure in orange with a white beaded necklace, and garlands of pink and yellow flowers hang from the frame. A white box fan and a small table with a gold-patterned cloth sit at left. The seated figure's long dark hair, orange robes and rudraksha-free neck do not clearly establish identity, so the appearance is uncertain.2010-02-08July 06 20092009-07-06July 07 20102010-07-07September 08 20092009-09-08A photograph of two men in saffron-orange robes indoors against a plain white wall with orange drapes at the left edge. A man with a white tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold-carved throne, wearing orange robes and long dark hair, smiling as he raises one palm toward a second man standing beside him. The standing man, bare-shouldered beneath an orange shawl with his hair tied up, bows slightly toward him. Watermarked archive text is omitted.2009-07-06November 22 20092009-11-22A smiling man in an orange saffron sleeveless garment with an orange shawl draped over his shoulders sits in front of a large orange cushioned chair against red curtains, with a small red dot on his forehead. He raises his right hand toward a man in a white shirt standing with his back to the camera at right, while another person's head is visible at lower left. The composition is a candid indoor moment of greeting at a seated sannyasi's gathering.2010-07-09Photograph of a seated man in an orange saffron garment with a red bindi on his forehead and a broad smile, sitting in front of a deep red velvet curtain on a white cushioned chair with an orange cloth draped over the armrest. A man in a light blue checked shirt stands bent forward toward him, a second man in white with an orange shawl stands behind, and a small box rests on the armrest. The seated man's hair is swept back; the candidate has a distinctive saffron robe and forehead mark, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so this is a seated devotee in orange attended by others.2010-07-21A photograph of a seated man in orange saffron robes on a large white cushioned throne-like seat in front of dark red velvet drapery. He has short dark hair, a red bindi, and is smiling with his right arm extended toward a standing man at left. The standing man, shown from behind-left with long dark hair and a beard, wears an orange robe and holds a small object in his hand, reaching toward the seated figure. White bolster pillows, a microphone on a stand, and green foliage with flowers appear on the stage. A Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam style meditation-programme setting; the seated figure is an appearance-based a person candidate, identified by his saffron clothing and central seated position on the throne.2009-08-29
