Indoor photograph in a room with white walls and gilded furniture. A long-haired figure in an orange-saffron wrap and orange turban, with a thick beaded mala across the chest and bangles on the wrist, sits on a red-cushioned gold throne-like seat and offers a small red fruit toward a man. The man, in a light turquoise button-up shirt with tripundra markings on his forehead, kneels at a gold side table with his palms pressed together in greeting. Behind them, a young man in a blue shirt holds up a phone to photograph, and two more men stand at right. A tanpura-style stringed instrument and a drum rest against the wall. Swamiji (probable) is the saffron-clad figure seated on the throne, identified by the long hair, orange turban, saffron wrap and mala cues.

May 06 20162016-05-06A photograph in an ornate room with gold-and-wood furniture and a gilded canopy shrine on the left. A long-haired man in an orange turban, orange wrap and a brown rudraksha-style beaded necklace sits on a leopard-print seat and holds out a small red object to a kneeling, bowing man in a white shirt, who leans toward it at a gold table. Behind them a young man in a blue t-shirt raises a phone, and an older man in a light shirt stands at the right. The orange-robed man matches probable Swamiji cues of long hair, orange turban and rudraksha-style beads, so he is labelled probable Swamiji; the visible scene is a seated presentation with a devotee. Four physical people are visible.2016-05-06A photograph inside a decorated tent with white walls and gold-finished ceremonial furniture. A seated man in an orange turban and orange cloth, with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a beaded necklace, sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne with gold lion-head armrests and is handing a small yellow object to a visitor. Behind him a standing attendant in a white dhoti and gold necklace stands beside a gold canopy with red, green and yellow tassels. The visitor, a man with grey hair in a turquoise shirt, bows forward to receive the offering, and a bald devotee is partly visible at the lower right. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's orange turban, long hair, rudraksha mala and gold-adorned throne fit the page's Kalpataru darshan context.2016-04-30May 02 20162016-05-02May 13 20162016-05-13Photo inside a small room with a gold-trimmed wooden table in the foreground. A long-haired figure in an orange-saffron turban and orange wrap, wearing a thick amber-bead mala, sits on the left and extends both hands to receive an offering. An older man in a light turquoise kurta with white hair and a tilak mark bends forward to place a red fruit or offering into those hands. Behind them, two younger men stand, one in a blue shirt holding a mobile phone up to take a picture. Ornate gold-framed furniture, a tabla and a small brass vessel sit on a red cloth nearby. Seated figure appears to be a person by visible cues: long swept hair, saffron turban and mala.2016-05-06May 06 20162016-05-06Indoor photo of a seated figure in a red-brown turban and rust-coloured robe with long rudraksha mala beads, seated on a leopard-print cushioned golden throne and offering red apples from a plate to a standing man in a navy polo shirt and orange shawl. Behind them, a man in orange with beaded necklaces stands beside a cameraman in white holding a camera, and a gilded ornate backdrop with painted panels fills the room. A tray of apples sits on a table in front. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the turban, rudraksha mala and saffron-toned robe, and holds the apples as the central act of the scene. Four people are visible.2016-05-18May 02 20162016-05-02May 07 20162016-05-07May 14 20162016-05-14May 07 20162016-05-07
