Two men stand under a white and red draped pavilion beside a wooden pole, with a small white ceremonial pot at lower left. The man on the right wears a saffron-orange robe, a long swept-back hair, a white tilak on his forehead and a heavy gold beaded necklace, and is looking to the side with a serious expression. Beside him at left stands a man in white dhoti with gold border, bare-chested, wearing a rudraksha mala and a red bindi, with a wrist thread. Additional partly visible people sit at the left edge. The scene looks like a ritual or satsang gathering. Swamiji (probable): the saffron-robed figure on the right shows long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and saffron clothing, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, though this is an appearance-based label only.

May 26 20172017-05-26May 22 20172017-05-22Photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-and-gold draped robe, bare-chested, wearing layered rudraksha malas and a gold pendant, pressing his right hand to the forehead of a smiling man in white dhoti and shawl with a red-and-white sash and rudraksha beads. The man in white has his palms joined near his chest. Behind them a seated attendant in white with a white forehead band and gold necklaces watches, and robed devotees stand in the background before golden panels. The scene appears to be a blessing or initiation gesture in a temple-like hall. Appearance cues of the long-haired robed figure are distinctive, so he is described as a person receiving and giving blessing in an ashram setting.2017-08-09A bearded man with long dark hair and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead stands outdoors, smiling, hands pressed together at his chest in namaste. He wears a brown-maroon dhoti-style garment and a brown rudraksha-style mala, plus a long white and red flower garland with green leaves. Behind him, people in orange robes and white forehead markings stand, and a man on the left holds a silver vessel with flowers and wears a yellow bead necklace. Colourful tassels hang from a canopy overhead. Whether the central man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so he is described by role as a devotee in a garland.2017-01-01May 26 20172017-05-26May 22 20172017-05-22A photograph of a ritual procession under an open-sided pavilion. In the foreground, a man in a rust-red saffron dhoti and wrap wears layered gold necklaces, gold armlets and gold bangles, with white sacred ash marks and a red bindi on his forehead, walking with eyes lowered. Beside him, a younger man in a plain white dhoti and shawl with gold borders wears rudraksha malas and red-and-gold wristbands and holds a red umbrella with a curved golden handle. Behind them, a man in white with a red shawl stands near a hanging brass bell and a tall golden staff. Two people are visible in the foreground with a third partly visible at right, and background figures are indistinct.2016-08-02September 26 20172017-09-26A man in a rust-orange sannyasi-style wrap with gold border and a gold-bead necklace walks toward the viewer across a paved courtyard, with a white-clad attendant behind him carrying a tray. The man has a white horizontal tilak and a red dot on his forehead. A red woven mat lies in the foreground beside a brick wall and trees. The man's appearance shows several cues such as the saffron-orange robe, ornate gold necklace and forehead markings, but identity remains uncertain from appearance alone, so he is described by role as a sannyasi-clad man and the white-clad attendant is a priest or assistant.
