A photograph of an indoor stage event. On the right, a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe with a red bindi sits on a red cushioned throne before an ornate gold backdrop with a carved golden deity relief. His eyes are closed as he rests one hand on the shoulder of a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who kneels beside him, his palms pressed together in reverence. Yellow and red flower garlands and a bouquet of purple orchids and pink carnations frame the scene, with green foliage behind. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne in saffron robes with long swept-back hair and a bindi, receiving devotion from a devotee in white.

Photo of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, placing a hand on the forehead of an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti-style trousers with a rudraksha-style mala. A gilded ornate throne with a carved golden backrest and red velvet cushions stands behind them, beside a bouquet of purple orchids, pink carnations and white flowers. A standing attendant in orange and white is at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron ornate-style robes and sits on a gilded throne, which together form the qualifying cues. The older man is a devotee receiving a blessing.2008-10-19A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe over a red top sits on an ornate gilded throne with red patterned cushions, a red bindi on the forehead and long dark hair. A man in a white t-shirt and a beaded necklace bends forward with his hands near the seated figure's lap, apparently in an act of reverence. Behind them are a green leafy backdrop and a floral arrangement of purple orchids, pink and white flowers. A Swamiji (probable) label applies based on the saffron robe, long swept-back hair, and the gilded throne setting, so the seated figure is marked as a probable in-person candidate.2008-10-19Indoor event photograph. A seated man in long saffron-orange robes with a red undershirt and long swept-back dark hair, with a red and white tilak on his forehead, sits on a red patterned cushioned throne in front of an ornate gold-leaf backdrop bearing a deity relief. He smiles and holds his palms together toward an older man in a white short-sleeved shirt with a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, who kneels and clasps his hands. Yellow and red marigold garlands and a bouquet of pink carnations and purple orchids decorate the stage. A second saffron-robed attendant stands at the left edge.2008-10-19October 19 20082008-10-19A seated man in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long swept-back dark hair sits on a gold-carved throne upholstered in red-and-black zebra-striped cushions, holding a short stick in one hand. Before him stands a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, his palms pressed together in anjali near the seated man's face, performing a devotee's greeting or blessing. The backdrop is a large photographic print of a banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. A few other figures in orange and white are partly visible at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, consistent with the page's claim. The standing devotee is in white with a rudraksha-style mala at his neck.2010-02-11July 01 20092009-07-01A photograph of two men in a flower-decorated setting.

His long dark hair is swept back, and he wears a red tilak mark on his forehead; his expression is serene with eyes half-closed. A man in a white shirt kneels or leans toward him with palms pressed together in a respectful gesture, and a second person in white reclines or sits at the right edge beside a white bolster. Style and framing suggest a formal darshan session. Swamiji (probable) is the seated saffron-clad figure receiving the devotee, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robe and garland cues.2008-06-22
