A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a carved arched back, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a long rudraksha mala, a red tilak on the forehead, and long dark swept-back hair, smiling as he looks toward a devotee. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and enthroned position are the qualifying cues. Two people are visible: a woman in a red garment at the left edge, and a man in white clothes bending forward at the right edge with his hand on a cushioned dais, offering respect. Beige cushioned seating and a red-and-gold patterned cloth in the foreground suggest a satsang or darshan setting.

A photograph of a long-haired man seated on a red cushioned throne in front of an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. He wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala of dark seeds across his chest, and a red bindi on his forehead. He gestures with his right hand toward the cushion. In the foreground, a man with short dark hair in a white kurta with his back to the camera faces him. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), given the saffron clothing, rudraksha mala, long hair and throne setting, though this is an appearance-based label only. A gold-patterned base and white fur-like rug are visible at the bottom of the frame.2011-12-11February 09 20122012-02-09A photograph of a seated man on a silver-framed chair on a red-carpeted stage, smiling and raising his right hand in greeting.

A red and orange backdrop with a stylised mountain image and a microphone stand are behind.2010-02-18A seated man on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions speaks at a microphone on a stage with a red and navy backdrop. He has long swept-back dark hair, a small red mark on his forehead, a rudraksha mala necklace and an orange shawl draped over his shoulder and body. Swamiji (probable) is the label for this figure, based on the long hair, rudraksha mala, orange clothing and throne cues. He smiles with his hands clasped in his lap.2010-10-21A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a carved gilt back and red velvet cushions, smiling and raising one hand in a gesture while holding a silver-tipped staff. He wears an orange saffron robe draped over one shoulder and a long mala of dark rudraksha beads, with rudraksha bracelets on his wrists and upper arm, and a red bindi on his forehead. A golden bird-shaped ornament sits on the armrest beside him, and a white woolly rug covers the platform. The appearance of the seated man with long dark hair, orange robes, rudraksha malas and ornate throne is consistent with Swamiji (probable) as a speaker at a satsang, though the photo's appearance alone cannot confirm identity.2012-04-14February 07 20122012-02-07A seated man in an orange saffron robe with a gold-bead and gold-ornament necklace, long dark hair tied back, places both hands on the forehead of a kneeling devotee in a white shirt and white dhoti.
