A photograph inside a colourfully painted shrine hall shows a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a tall crowned backrest, draped in a zebra-striped cloth. The seated figure wears saffron-red robes, a long rudraksha mala, and a tilak on the forehead, with hands resting in the lap. Several women in saffron and cream saris kneel and sit on the platform around the throne, one holding an oil lamp. In the foreground, a shaved-headed devotee in an orange shawl faces the throne, seen from behind. Brass oil lamps hang from chains and a tall lamp stand stands at right, with a row of small lamps behind the throne. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's description of a person, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.

Behind him hang brass lamps and strings of small lights. In the foreground, a tiered brass lamp stand with many lit oil lamps dominates, and a woman in a pale yellow sari kneels at the left, tending a lamp near the throne. Two blurred figures in orange robes stand or sit at the edges, one partially visible at lower left. Probable Swamiji appearance: a long-haired figure with a crown-like throne and saffron/orange clothing with rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, seated on the peetha as a presiding teacher.2013-04-01 +2 copiesMarch 17 20132013-03-17March 21 20132013-03-21Photograph inside a painted temple-style hall with a large ornate gold throne framed by a pink, green and yellow doorway. A man in orange-red robes and a rudraksha mala sits on the golden throne with a striped cloth draped over the seat, appearing to be a seated teacher. In front, a tiered brass oil lamp with many lit flames stands on the floor, and a shaven-headed monk in orange robes sits at the lower left in the foreground. Several women in saris kneel near the throne, and brass hanging lamps and standing lamps flank the scene. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person, with saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a throne, though his face is not clearly discernible at this distance.2013-04-01 +2 copiesA man in a rust-orange robe and a rudraksha mala with a red tilak stands in front of an ornate gold throne with a carved arched back and lion-head armrests, gesturing with raised hands as he speaks. A row of brass oil lamps with lit flames stands along the foreground, and a shaved-headed man in orange clothing sits at lower left facing the speaker. Several people in red and maroon garments sit and kneel at the throne's base, with a woman in a maroon sari at lower centre. The walls are painted in turquoise, yellow, pink and green with scrolled decorative borders.2013-04-06A seated man in a rust-red dhoti and shawl, wearing a long orange-gold beaded mala and a white and red forehead mark, sits on an ornate gold throne with lion-head arms and a tiger-striped cushion. Hanging brass oil lamps and a red-lit backdrop frame the scene. Three women attend in front: one in white with white body markings holds offerings, and two in red and orange saris sit with their backs to the camera, one holding a white flower offering. The seated man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate with long swept-back hair, a long ornate mala and rust-red robes seated on a gold throne, so the figure is marked probable and presence is treated as in person. Gold-painted decorations and flower offerings sit at the base of the throne.2013-04-08March 18 20132013-03-18March 30 20132013-03-30
