A man with long dreadlocked hair, a jewelled ornament at his forehead and a red-brown bindi stands on the stage wearing a red garment with a leopard-print wrap across the chest, a red sash at the waist and rudraksha bead bracelets on his arm and wrist. A gold necklace is visible at his neck. He gazes upward and to the side. The stage has white draped fabric at the top edge.2017-12-18December 18 20172017-12-18A man stands alone on a stage under blue-white stage lighting and haze, eyes closed in meditative stillness. He wears a rust-red and orange garment with a leopard-print patterned shawl draped over one shoulder, a gold-trimmed sash at the waist, rudraksha bracelets on his arms, a gold necklace, and a gold ornament in his long dark hair. Metal truss rigging and spotlights overhead frame the scene.

He has long dark hair with a gold ornament at the crown, white and red forehead markings, a mustache and beard, and a gold necklace. He wears a red-orange cloth draped over one shoulder, with a leopard-print patterned garment and a red waist sash, and red rudraksha-style beaded bracelets on his upper arms and wrists. His gaze is directed upward. The appearance is consistent with a presentation of the teacher, though the identification is uncertain from appearance alone.2017-12-18A man stands on a stage beneath a white pleated valance and a grey aluminium truss rig loaded with stage lights. He wears a rust-red wrap with a leopard-print patterned shawl across the chest and red-and-black beaded bracelets on his upper arms, with long dark hair falling down his back. A gold ornament sits at his forehead and a gold chain hangs at his neck. He looks upward, alone in the frame, with warm amber stage lighting. The figure has distinctive long hair, a forehead ornament and ceremonial gold necklace consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person.2017-12-18December 18 20172017-12-18Photograph taken from a low angle of a man standing on a stage under a metal truss rig fitted with stage lights.
