A large satsang hall with a dense audience of devotees seated on the floor. In the centre, a man with long dreadlocked hair and a short beard stands bare-chested, wearing a rust-orange draped cloth, with white ash marks on his arm and shoulder, beside a yellow and maroon draped pillar. Several women in orange and saffron shawls sit with hands folded in namaste in the foreground, and others are visible at the right. On the left, a gilded deity murti in yellow cloth is seated on a throne behind the crowd. The man has distinctive long hair and orange-draped robes, so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable), standing as a participant at the event.

He wears a multi-strand rudraksha mala with a pendant, a gold necklace, and a red bindi, and holds nothing in his hands. A silver trident leans at the left edge. A seated audience of hundreds in white, orange and coloured saris fills the foreground, many wearing orange lanyards. A table with a water bottle stands at the right. Appearance-based label: a person, standing in front of the throne.2015-12-22December 15 20162016-12-15A photograph of an indoor satsang hall where a standing man in long dark-red-orange robes with a sash and a rudraksha mala stands before an ornate white throne with red cushions. Swamiji (probable) is the standing man: long swept-back dark hair, saffron-orange robes, ornate gold-toned armband and rudraksha mala, with a red-orange shawl and a red throne. Seated devotees in saffron and orange robes and white dhotis sit on the floor with palms joined in namaskar. Some wear orange head wraps, and a white-clad figure with a shaved head appears in the background. A brass oil lamp stand and a small table sit in front of the throne, with a large framed photograph of a figure in ornate red garb on the wall.2017-10-06December 27 20142014-12-27A crowded indoor hall full of devotees. In the centre, a bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange shawl over a bare chest, smiles while walking through the crowd. Behind him, a tall golden trident (trishul) stands at left. Devotees wear white, orange and green clothing, and several have sandalwood or tilak marks on their foreheads. A man in white with a rudraksha mala stands near the left. Large screens behind the crowd show images of people. Cues for the central man include long swept-back hair, saffron shawl, and rudraksha-style adornment, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.2016-12-09
