He appears to be the probable Swamiji, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads; the scene is a satsang. Before him, a line of devotees kneel with folded hands: a man in white dhoti with white body markings and a shaved head, a woman in a yellow shawl, a woman in a pink sari, and a man in an orange robe behind a microphone. Baskets of apples and sweets sit on the floor in the foreground, a table holds apples and a standing fan sits beside the throne, and a projection screen and gold-decorated temple backdrop fill the background.2010-11-30December 24 20092009-12-24Photo inside a hall with white plastic chairs and a red curtain backdrop. A figure with long wavy hair and an orange robe stands centrally, placing one hand on the head of a seated man in a khaki shirt who holds folded paper. A shaven-headed man in orange robes sits beside him, and a woman in orange and yellow stands at right near a table with fruit, flowers and a water bottle. Several devotees in white and orange surround them, and a fan is visible behind. A candidate's presentation shows long swept hair and orange clothing, but the face is not visible in a way that supports an identification, so this remains uncertain.
