2003 World Tour - Bay Area USAA photograph of a seated planning meeting in a plain tiled room at night. A woman in orange robes and a man in orange shawl sit on the floor with a group of men in white shirts and white dhotis, many wearing rudraksha malas. A seated man in white holds a notepad and pen, a cameraman with a shoulder camera films the group, and a woman in orange sits at left. Several standing men in white look on from the back, and an open doorway and floral curtain are visible behind them. The page identifies the setting as a planning session for Arunachala Sarvajnapeetam, but no figure is clearly marked as a person by appearance cues, so the orange-clad participants are described by role only.2008-04-04June 17 20172017-06-17October 24 20102010-10-24A photograph inside a hall with cream walls and framed portraits on the left. A man in a cream turban, orange-saffron robe and layered rudraksha malas stands centre-right, smiling, with his hand raised toward a bald man in a white striped shirt who leans in with bowed head. A young boy in a red-and-white top with hands pressed together stands at left. Men in white shirts and an orange-robed sannyasi with bare shoulders stand nearby, some with bracelets. The scene looks like a blessing or darshan moment. The centre figure shows distinctive saffron and rudraksha cues, so he is described as a person, present in person.2012-04-08December 11 20112011-12-11December 29 20112011-12-29A photograph of a group of men standing in a line in a hall with a deep red curtain behind them and a cream wall at the right.

Beside him a man in a white shirt stands near a man in a white shirt and grey-green trousers. At the far right a shaved-headed young man in a white dhoti and shawl with a red border stands beside a tray of fruit and flowers. In the foreground, seated men in white and an orange-clad man with a hand to his chin watch the line. No a person candidate is visible in this scene.2011-06-05Indoor photo of a satsang-style gathering in which a man in a cream turban, orange-saffron shawl and multiple beaded rudraksha malas stands at the centre, leaning forward to receive or give a gesture from an elderly man in a grey-and-white striped shirt and glasses who extends his hand toward him. Around them, a bare-headed priest in white dhoti with white tripundra markings and a rudraksha mala stands at left with hands folded in namaste, several devotees with palms joined, and a man in an orange robe with bare shoulders is seen at the right foreground. A projection screen glows white behind the group against a maroon curtain. The turbaned man's appearance and ornaments are consistent with the page's a person reference but the identification is uncertain.2012-04-08May 17 20162016-05-17Indoor photo in a hall with a red curtain backdrop, a screen showing a religious image and a gold-decorated stage with a throne. A man in a white ritual shirt and orange-saffron shawl bends forward with hands pressed together while a man in saffron-orange robe and a gold-bordered dhoti rests his hand on the bent man's head, blessing him. The blessing figure, wearing a long rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold-banded clothing, has swept-back long hair and a smile; a probable Swamiji by the pictured cues. Other saffron-robed sannyasis and a bald man in saffron stand nearby, and a boy in a blue shirt is at the left edge.2013-10-02Photograph of a crowded event tent at a religious gathering.
