A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and a long garland of yellow, white and purple flowers sits on a cream sofa and rests his right hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt and grey trousers. Six devotees kneel on a white cloth in a bright white room: a woman in white with hands folded in namaskar, a woman in yellow, a woman in white with her hand on a seated woman's shoulder, and a young man in a beige shirt. Flower petals and a brass kalasha with a yellow cloth lie on the floor, and a brass lamp stands at the right. This shows a padapuja-style blessing with devotees being touched by the robed figure, in a domestic room with a ceiling fan and cream wall. The man in the saffron robe has a shaved head with the appearance of a sannyasi, and the appearance-based candidate here is a person, showing devotional cues of saffron robe and flower garland; the seated figure is a candidate.2008-08-13March 22 20082008-03-22February 11 20072007-02-11Indoor photo of a padapuja at a Kailaasa centre in Malaysia. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and garlanded with yellow and purple flowers, sits on a white sofa with bare feet extended. An elderly man in white dhoti lies prostrate on a white cloth at his feet, while a silver tray holds a brass vessel, a kalasha-like cone of rice, flower petals, fruit and small brass pots. Behind them a woman in a pink salwar holds a baby in blue, an older man in white sits on a red chair, and a saffron-robed attendant stands by a staircase. On the right a woman in orange sari and a woman in green stand watching. A decorated altar with marigold garlands and a deity image sits at the right edge, and a red curtain hangs behind.2008-08-13March 13 20082008-03-13A seated man in orange-saffron robes and a rudraksha mala sits on a white sofa in a bright room, smiling as he places his hand on the head of a devotee kneeling before him. A cream sofa cushion sits beside a garland of yellow and orange marigolds. Four devotees in white clothing are seated or bending on the floor, including a man in white leaning forward with hands folded and a woman with a white hair flower on the left. Silver puja vessels, flowers and a small oil lamp rest on a cloth on the floor, with a red chair and an electric fan in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in saffron robes with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala matches the page's Swamiji reference.2008-08-13February 11 20072007-02-11March 01 20082008-03-01A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange turban and saffron robe, bare-shouldered, wearing a long white and yellow flower garland and a red flower garland, placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt with palms pressed together in namaskar. Rose petals and marigold petals scatter on the white-covered seat and floor. Behind them, women in white and grey-blue saris hold metal bowls of petals, and a standing fan is visible in the background. The saffron-robed figure's cues are distinctive, and the page indicates he is a person, but the page says he is not at this event, so identity is uncertain; he is described by role as a seated figure in saffron conferring a blessing.March 22 20082008-03-22April 07 20142014-04-07August 13 20082008-08-13
