A seated woman with long dark wavy hair wears a bright orange saffron robe draped over one shoulder and sits in a wooden armchair with a white cushion. A small white-clothed table in front holds a plate of bananas, a steel tumbler and a mobile phone. A man in white dhoti and white shirt with an orange-bordered shawl prostrates full-length on the floor before her. To the right, a standing attendant in white dhoti and orange shawl holds his hands together. Behind them are a flip chart easel, a low wooden table with a white cloth, and two round decorative plaques on a beige wall.

A man in a white shirt with a watch kneels on the left with palms pressed together in namaste, head bowed. Seated centre is a long-haired person in a saffron-orange robe holding a rudraksha mala and a small white card, smiling broadly. A woman in a white sari with an orange border stands at the right, smiling and holding a small object. A brass plate hangs on the wall behind and a cushion sits on a chair. The seated robed person shows appearance cues consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the identification is uncertain.2007-07-02A photograph of a stage at a convention. A seated figure in saffron/orange robes with long dark swept-back hair and a red bindi sits on a cushioned white throne-style chair, one hand raised in a gesture. Behind him, another person in orange clothing stands near an ornate gold-carved chair. In front, a man in white kurta kneels with palms pressed together, head bowed, in a gesture of reverence, beside a small white box and scattered flowers on a red cloth. A woman in a white sari leans in at the right edge, a fan and dark curtain stand behind. Swamiji appearance is a probable candidate by the seated figure's orange robes, long hair and red bindi, though identity is uncertain.2007-01-05November 24 20062006-11-24A seated figure in long flowing saffron-orange robes with long dark swept hair sits on a white-draped low seat with an orange cushion, holding a rudraksha mala and gesturing with an open hand toward a man in a white kurta prostrating face-down on a red patterned rug. Behind them, several men in orange dhotis and shawls stand on a woven mat against a white wall, one holding a mala. A deity-style red floor mat with a mandala-like design lies under the seat. The scene suggests a devotee offering obeisance (padapuja-style prostration) before a respected guru, with the seated figure's appearance matching the probable Swamiji cues of long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a mala.2008-09-30August 17 20062006-08-17A seated man in an orange saffron robe with a red bindi on his forehead smiles warmly on an orange-upholstered chair with a red cushion. A devotee in a white shirt kneels before him at left, hands pressed together in a respectful namaskar, head bowed. Behind them is a wooden tray with compartments holding bananas and purple flowers, and a golden tray with red apples and a copper bowl sit on a stone ledge with brass ritual vessels, lamps and a white-clad attendant with an orange shawl. Overlapping text reads a copyright line and source credit in the lower right corner. The scene suggests a darshan moment.2010-07-06A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair sits on a white-draped cushioned seat on a red patterned rug, gesturing with one hand toward a devotee who lies prostrate in full-length obeisance on the mat in white clothes with an orange sash. Behind them, three standing men in orange robes and one in white stand on a woven mat before a plain white wall, a rudraksha mala visible on one standing man. The scene suggests a formal darshan or pada-namaskar in an ashram hall.2008-09-30Indoor photo of a monastic training event on a stage draped with deep maroon curtains. A man with long dark hair in orange robes sits on a cushioned seat, one hand raised to his ear and smiling broadly, while a child in orange sits in front of him. Beside them a figure in white clothes and an orange sash bends forward toward the seat. On the left, a bald older man in a white shirt and glasses stands near a small gold deity murti, a potted flower arrangement and a brass vessel. A white board stands on a stand at right, and a small CRT monitor sits on a cabinet at left. Orange cloth hangs from the upper left corner.2006-08-17
