A photograph of a ceremonial hall with a seated man on a red velvet throne bearing a golden lion-form armrest. He wears a white and pink floral garland, bare-chested with a saffron-orange cloth draped over his lap, and his long dark hair is swept back. Around him, devotees in saffron-orange robes sit or stand, some with rudraksha malas and long matted hair. A woman in an orange sari with a red blouse holds a brass vessel near the throne. A cameraman with a tripod films at the back, and a microphone stand is in the foreground. Golden deity murti and ornate saffron and gold textiles decorate the background. Several children in orange clothes sit at the lower left.

A photograph of a ceremonial initiation in an ashram hall. A bearded man with long dark hair, wearing orange cloth, a floral garland and a rudraksha mala, sits on a red velvet seat behind a gold lion-shaped armrest, with a microphone stand in front of him. Several young girls and boys in orange and saffron clothing sit cross-legged on the floor, some with hands folded in prayer, others reaching toward a central seated group. A woman in a red-brown sari with a rudraksha mala stands at the right beside a golden deity murti under floral decoration. Behind the group, camera operators film the proceedings, and a large gold figure and framed pictures decorate the walls.2016-10-08October 08 20162016-10-08A photograph of a ceremonial gathering in a large hall. A long-haired figure in orange and rust-coloured robes, wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold-and-red garland, sits on an ornate gold-and-brown throne carved with lion heads. The seated figure extends a hand toward a young boy in a red t-shirt who kneels and offers something from a tray of pink and white folded cloths on a dark board. Behind them a standing man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala watches, and a trident stands at left. Several devotees in orange and white sit on the floor with hands pressed in prayer, and a crowd of onlookers in western and orange clothing fills the background.2015-12-19September 18 20152015-09-18A photo of a blessing session on a stage at an indoor event. A man with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange shawl, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, sits on a white throne-like chair and places his hand on the head of a young boy in a patterned shirt. Around them, a monk in orange robes stands behind, a man in an orange shawl and white kurta stands nearby, and women in white and cream saris and orange-trimmed shawls sit or stand in the foreground. A table to the right holds books, a plate of offerings and a yellow-clad attendant's arm. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in the orange shawl and rudraksha mala with long hair matches the description, and the scene shows a blessing, so the identification is plausible but the face is not used.2008-03-23December 15 20172017-12-15December 19 20152015-12-19July 17 20082008-07-17December 19 20152015-12-19September 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesDecember 17 20172017-12-17A photograph of a ceremony in a hall with red curtains and a golden lion-shaped throne in the foreground right.
