A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved golden backrest and a floral-garlanded setting. He wears a long red-and-white flower garland, an orange cloth, and a gold pendant, and appears to be laughing with mouth open. Around him, a woman in a yellow blouse and white sari bows with hands folded, a man in a white shirt leans in close, and a man in an orange garment with a rudraksha mala and wristwatch stands at right. A girl in red holds a brass tray of offerings at left, and a trident-topped staff rises in the background beside a decorative red-and-white garland border. Marigold decorations fill the backdrop. The scene looks like a darshan or felicitation at a temple event.

A figure with long dark swept-back hair, wearing orange-saffron robes and a flower garland, sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions and floral decorations. A tall golden staff stands beside the throne. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis, plus a man in an orange shawl and white kurta, stand around and attend him, with hands near the staff. A person in orange clothing stands at the left edge. The appearance cues of the seated figure (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, garland on an ornate throne) match the page's reference to Swamiji, so the figure is noted as a probable candidate, seated in darshan with devotees attending.2009-07-07A smiling person with a long dark hairstyle, wearing a red bindi, stands before a golden backdrop and is garlanded with a thick multicolour garland of white, orange and red flowers over a saffron cloth. Three people surround them: a woman in a yellow sari at left, a man in white with a gold ring and watch reaching in from the right, and a woman in orange at lower right handling a small silver vessel and offerings. Another smiling man in orange and white stands at upper right beside a floral arch of marigolds and red-and-white draping. Appearance-based label: a person is not established, as the central figure's clothing shows only a saffron wrap and a garland, so identity is uncertain.2008-01-01January 01 20082008-01-01January 01 20082008-01-01A seated man with long dark hair wears saffron-orange robes, a thick gold-and-white garland and a rudraksha-style bead necklace, smiling as a man in white dhoti and shirt bows to touch his hands. The seated figure sits on a gold-ornate throne-like seat backed by a large gilded arch decorated with garlands of yellow, white and red flowers. Two women stand beside him: one wears a cream sari with gold border and a braid, the other a dark outfit, and a monk in orange stands at left. A devotee holds an offering package near the seated man's lap. The scene suggests a felicitation or biksha moment at a public ceremony.2008-07-17July 07 20092009-07-07A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne (peetha) before a decorated backdrop with white and blue scalloped patterns and flower garlands.

A young man in orange shawl stands to the right and a monk in saffron with a rudraksha mala stands behind. Ceremonial gold and silver trappings and a tiered gold canopy frame the scene, in what appears to be a Guru Purnima puja setting.
