He wears a rust-red robe, multiple long rudraksha mala garlands, a gold pendant, a green bead necklace and a red bindi, and has voluminous dark hair swept up in a black crown-like head covering. His hands rest on the chair arms, one wrist with a bangle. Behind him hangs a cream backdrop with a dark carved relief of a dancing deity figure. A figure with long swept-back hair and rudraksha garlands, seated on a throne in a saffron robe, matches the page's Swamiji context, so the in-person candidate is probable, though a close view of the face is not used for identification. Mandala ritual context is noted by the page only, not visible here.2015-12-11December 08 20152015-12-08 +1 copiesA seated speaker in a red-saffron robe and layered rudraksha mala necklaces sits in a carved wooden armchair before a black microphone on a stand, smiling and looking upward. A ceremonial gold pendant hangs at the chest and a red tilak marks the forehead.

They wear an orange-saffron robe, layered rudraksha mala necklaces, a rudraksha armband, and gold earrings and a gold chain. A red bindi marks the forehead. A microphone stand stands beside the chair, and a seated deity murti with red and gold decorations appears behind them along with gold and red fabrics at right. This looks like a person figure in a Dhyanapeetham-style setting, the presiding teacher of the Darshan session, with the seated figure's saffron robe and rudraksha cues matching.2015-12-07December 07 20152015-12-07December 07 20152015-12-07 +1 copiesDecember 11 20152015-12-11A seated man with eyes closed and a gentle smile sits in front of a microphone on a stand, on a carved wooden chair.
