A photograph in a wood-floored hall showing a long-haired man seated on a golden cushioned chair in an orange saffron robe over a rust-red top, holding a small folded paper or booklet. Before him a younger man in a white collared shirt and blue jeans kneels on a red mat, wearing a long rudraksha mala, and reaches toward the seated figure's hands. Behind them stand a tripod-mounted camera and a white backdrop, a standing fan, and a large floral arrangement of pink, orange and white flowers. The seated man has long dark hair and distinctive saffron-and-ornate dress cues, matching a person role at a healers' initiation event.

March 06 20062006-03-06A seated man with long dark hair in a saffron-orange shawl and rust-coloured inner garment sits on a cream upholstered chair, holding up two thin wooden sticks toward a kneeling man in a white collared shirt, jeans and a beaded rudraksha-style mala with a round pendant. The kneeling man is facing him, seemingly in conversation. Behind them stand a tripod, a floral arrangement with pink roses and a white fan on a wooden-floored hall. The seated man is a probable Swamiji, identified by long swept-back hair and saffron-orange clothing, presented in a teaching or healing exchange.2006-03-06March 06 20062006-03-06March 06 20062006-03-06Indoor photo in a wood-panelled hall. A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on a cushioned seat and touches the forehead of a man in a white patterned jacket with a dark collar, who leans in smiling. Behind them stand a floral arrangement with pink, orange and white flowers, a pedestal fan, and a cameraperson in a pink top filming on a tripod at left. a person (saffron robe, long dark hair, seated in the central role) gives a forehead touch, a blessing gesture during a convention session.2006-03-06March 27 20062006-03-27A photograph of two men seated face to face on a wooden floor in a hall. On the left, a man with short curly grey hair wears a light blue button-up shirt and a long rudraksha mala, holding small white items in his clasped hands. On the right, a person with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe and raises an open palm toward him in blessing. Behind them are a tripod-mounted camera, a standing fan, a flower arrangement with pink roses, a wooden lectern and a white screen. A candidate for the saffron-robed figure is present by appearance cues: long dark hair, saffron clothing and the event context, so the person is.2006-03-06April 23 20062006-04-23April 24 20062006-04-24A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe over a red top sits on an ornate gilded throne with red patterned cushions, a red bindi on the forehead and long dark hair. A man in a white t-shirt and a beaded necklace bends forward with his hands near the seated figure's lap, apparently in an act of reverence. Behind them are a green leafy backdrop and a floral arrangement of purple orchids, pink and white flowers. A Swamiji (probable) label applies based on the saffron robe, long swept-back hair, and the gilded throne setting, so the seated figure is marked as a probable in-person candidate.2008-10-19Indoor photo in a hall with wooden flooring and a folding screen. On the left, a seated man with short grey hair wears a white collared shirt and a long rudraksha mala, and reaches forward to touch the sleeve of a seated figure on the right. That figure has long dark hair and wears an orange robe, with a flower in the hair. Behind them are a standing fan, a water bottle, a candle on a stand, and a coil of red cable. Appearance-based cues for the man are not distinctive enough to name him, so the role is described as a man in white with a mala and the a person field is left unsure.2006-03-06March 06 20062006-03-06
