A photograph of a crowd of devotees moving through an indoor hall with a metal railing. A central man with short dark hair and a vermilion forehead mark smiles, wearing a saffron-orange sleeveless garment with a gold-toned wrap, a long beaded rudraksha-style mala and a large gold pendant. He has a gold armband. Around him, women in white and saffron-orange shawls hold items, and a man in saffron-orange on the right holds a small cloth. Posters and framed images line the walls behind, and a decorative kalasha-like object is visible above.

A photograph of a man standing barefoot on a tiled floor in a hall, wearing a flowing saffron-orange robe draped over his body and a long white and red flower garland hanging to his waist. He has long dark hair swept back and a red bindi on his forehead, and his mouth is open as if speaking. Behind him a young man in an orange robe and beaded mala raises an arm, and a crowd of devotees including children and a woman in a white sari with an orange shawl and blue lanyard stands along the wall. Glass display cases and framed mirrors line the room. Swamiji (probable): the man in the central saffron robe with long swept-back hair and white-red garland fits the presentation cues, so this is a probable in-person appearance.2008-10-27November 21 20132013-11-21January 09 20082008-01-09A smiling man with swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears a sleeveless saffron-orange garment with a wrap draped over one shoulder and a long rudraksha mala. A woman in a yellow sari stands at left, and a man with white and red forehead markings stands behind him. Hanging lamps, a decorated pillar and a metal-framed roof appear in the background, and gold bangles show at the lower edge. The man's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, and the page does not place him at this event.2010-09-06May 14 20132013-05-14 +1 copiesA procession inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and orange-painted walls. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and a long orange robe wears a gold-beaded garland and gold armlets, walking forward with a smile. Two cues of appearance are distinctive here (long swept-back hair and saffron robe with ornate gold necklace), so he is a probable Swamiji candidate. To his left, an older man in a red flower garland, rudraksha beads and an orange robe holds a golden trident (trishul). Other saffron-robed men and a man in white dhoti and shawl stand around. Behind them hang painted decorative banners and colourful striped poles with floral motifs. Photo credit overlay in the corner.2012-04-24May 18 20132013-05-18October 29 20082008-10-29July 14 20132013-07-14March 22 20082008-03-22A photograph of a row of shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes standing outdoors before a peach-coloured building with arched doorways. Most wear rudraksha malas and stand with hands folded or clasped, looking forward. One man at centre wears round glasses and a small red tilak on his forehead, and another at right wears a red-orange shawl over one shoulder. Several have white ash markings on their arms and shoulders. Behind them stand women in dark maroon saris with mala necklaces, and at the top right a vehicle decorated with a red and white floral garland is visible. Several men wear orange robes with maroon borders, and a bare-chested man holds a white paper. The setting appears to be an ashram courtyard during a gathering.2013-11-15January 02 20082008-01-02
