A woman in an orange-red sari with a matching red-orange headwrap and gold bangles holds a white paper in front of a seated man in a white shirt and white dhoti. Green leafy plants frame the foreground. Behind them, standing devotees in orange, white and saffron-toned robes wear rudraksha malas and stand with hands folded. In the lower right, an open wooden box holds rudraksha malas and many gold bangles. The setting looks like an indoor satsang or ritual gathering. Visible people: about six to ten, including partially visible figures at the edges.

He wears a long orange-beaded necklace with large gold bead clusters, a red bindi, and an orange-beaded bracelet, and he looks down while holding a small red cloth packet in both hands. Behind him are a brass lamp stand and a gold-and-red draped textile. The strongest appearance cues include the turban, the saffron robe and the ornate gold-bead necklace, so the figure is described as a person; the photo is dim, so this is uncertain.2013-04-01Outdoor ritual gathering under trees where a central figure in a red-orange turban, red-orange dhoti-style garment and a long white and yellow flower garland with a gold necklace sits before a large silver tray or plate. Around them, men and women in white and orange-red shawls sit on the ground and hold brass plates of fruit, bananas, sweets and offerings, with a silver framed panel nearby. A dense crowd of devotees with rudraksha malas and orange robes surrounds the scene. The setting suggests a puja or abhishekam offering.

Beside them, a woman in a pale pink-white sari and shawl stands with palms pressed together in prayer. Behind, a woman in an orange sari wearing a rudraksha mala watches, and a shaved-headed man in white stands further back. A floral arrangement with orange and pink flowers rests on a patterned mat, and a folded paper is held in the seated figure's hand. The seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) description based on long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha and gold ornaments, performing a blessing on a devotee.2014-04-28A man sits on a large grey granite boulder outdoors among trees and palms. He wears an orange-saffron turban with a small red tilak mark on the forehead, long dark hair, and an orange-saffron robe draped over one shoulder with a matching orange dhoti. A long necklace of brown rudraksha beads hangs on his chest. His bare feet rest on the rock, his hands are clasped in his lap, and a dark wooden walking staff with a curved handle leans against the boulder. Swamiji (probable) based on the orange robe, long hair, turban and rudraksha mala cues.2006-10-10September 03 20172017-09-03October 08 20152015-10-08December 17 20142014-12-17A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved golden lion armrests and a red velvet cushion, hands pressed together in namaste with eyes closed.
