Outdoor photo of a group standing on a concrete step in front of an orange-painted building with a white door and string lights overhead. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe with gold trim, a large orange-and-white flower garland, gold armbands, and holds a white rod. To his left a bald man in an orange robe covers his mouth with his hand. On the right, a man in a white dhoti and shawl wears a rudraksha mala. Several men in white shirts and dhotis, some with lanyards, stand around them. The central figure appears to be a probable Swamiji by appearance cues, with long hair, saffron clothing and ornate garland.

Two central figures in saffron-orange robes walk side by side: the one on the left wears a rudraksha mala and a saffron wrap with a patterned hem, and the one in the centre has long swept-back dark hair, a saffron garment, a heavy ornate gold-and-beaded necklace, and gold bangles, holding a small white object.

Trees, a blue truck and lamp posts in the background.2011-12-08Outdoors at a dusty compound with a block wall, palm tree and orange marigolds behind. A person in a flowing orange robe sits cross-legged on a low dark platform, smiling, one hand raised near the ear. Behind and beside them stand three men in white kurta-style clothing: one in white with an orange shawl, one older man with a white moustache and a rudraksha mala, and one in white with a lanyard and badge. The orange-robed seated figure has long dark hair pulled back and bare feet, and appears to be a sannyasi-style presenter rather than a verifiable identity, so the a person field is left unsure.2008-06-22December 08 20112011-12-08July 22 20102010-07-22A photograph of a standing group on a red carpet under a tent canopy in front of a golden ornate throne.
