A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair sits on a gold-toned throne draped in red cushions, hands joined in greeting, while a woman in a yellow-and-cream printed kurta leans forward to touch his feet. Nearby, a man in a white shirt and beige trousers bends forward holding a small child, and a woman in a white sari with a red-bead necklace stands at right. Marigold and red flower garlands decorate the golden canopy behind. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne in the saffron robe, with long swept-back hair and ceremonial gold decoration.

February 14 2009 -Kalpataru Convention at Chennai Tamilnadu2009-02-14Photo of a darshan scene in front of a golden throne (peetha) decorated with marigold garlands and a red flower. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-red robe draped over his shoulders, sits smiling on the throne with bare feet; he appears to be Swamiji (probable) given the long swept hair, saffron-red robe and seated ceremonial posture. Devotees bow and embrace him: a woman in a yellow-and-cream sari leans in, a man in a white shirt and beige trousers holds a small child who hugs the seated figure, and women in white-and-gold saris stand at the sides. Marigold garlands and small decorative hangings line the brown backdrop.2009-02-14A stage event with a seated figure on a large gilded throne with red cushions, dressed in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long dark hair, smiling. Several devotees surround the throne: a man in white dhoti and shirt kneels at the feet, a woman in gold sari reaches toward the seated figure's shoulder, another man in white kurta stands nearby, and women in cream and yellow saris stand around. Marigold garlands and small hanging lamps decorate the maroon backdrop. The seated figure appears to match the a person description: long swept-back hair and saffron-orange robe, seated on a throne as the central honoured figure during a darshan with devotees.2009-02-14July 12 20092009-07-12August 29 20092009-08-29February 15 20092009-02-15A photograph of a stage event with a seated man in saffron-orange robes on a gilded throne with red cushions, long hair, rudraksha-style beads and a garland of red and white flowers draped over his shoulders and across the cushioned platform. A young boy in white and yellow stands at his side. A woman in white sari with gold border bends forward to touch his feet, while a man in white dhoti and shirt leans in and another woman in white sari with gold border stands behind. A woman in a pale green sari and a man in striped shirt watch from the edges. Gold-trimmed red and white floral decorations and a yellow sunburst backdrop surround the throne.

A seated figure in orange robes and a red shawl, with long dark hair, is smiling while a woman in a white sari with green trim kneels and bows to wash or honour his bare feet. Behind them a woman in white stands with her hands together, and a man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands beside the throne. A second man in orange robes with a red shawl stands at right, touching the seated figure's garment, with a man in a cream shirt and a woman in white at the edge. The backdrop is a warm orange-toned drape. Aside from the seated figure, the orange-robed man at right is a clear candidate for the probable identity cue of distinctive orange robes and long hair, but the figure's appearance is not sufficient to confirm an identity; the scene is a devotional foot-honouring ritual.2009-08-08A photograph of a seated figure on a gold ornate throne in a hall with pink and gold draped backdrop panels. The seated figure wears red-orange robes, has a tilak on the forehead and bare feet on a red cushion. Around the throne, several devotees stand or bow: a man in an orange robe with long dark hair stands at left, a woman in a beige patterned salwar and a man in a light blue shirt stand at far left, a man in white kurta bends forward to touch the seated figure's hands, a woman in a mustard-yellow sari holds the seated figure's hand, and a man in an orange dhoti stands at right beside a man in a light blue shirt. Green carpet covers the floor and a white-draped table sits beside the throne.2009-07-11A seated figure in an orange-red robe with long dark hair sits on a gold-trimmed throne against a white backdrop decorated with pink and yellow flower arrangements. Devotees surround the throne: a man in a white shirt and khaki trousers bends forward toward the seated figure, a man in white kurta stands at left, a man in orange cloth with a mala stands near the throne, and women in cream and pink saris stand at right, one with a long braid, with hands folded in reverence. The seated figure has a distinctive long-haired, saffron-robed presentation with a ceremonial gold-trimmed seat, but the appearance cue is not conclusive enough to confirm identity; the page does not state that a person is present.2009-02-15August 27 20092009-08-27
