September 08 20112011-09-08A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate brown leather throne with carved wooden arms, eyes closed and smiling. He wears a long strand of large gold beads and a small wrist mala, with white ash markings and a red bindi on his forehead, and a small microphone clipped near his face. Around him, rows of seated women and men in red, orange and white attire listen attentively in a warmly lit hall, with decorative lamps and ornate fixtures in the background. Appearance-based cues of a long saffron garment, gold beaded necklace and throne are present, consistent with the a person label for the seated teacher during a question-and-answer session.2015-07-16December 04 20102010-12-04A photograph of a seated man in orange saffron robes and a long dark rudraksha mala, sitting on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved gold armrests and palms pressed together in his lap.

A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned back wears a red-orange robe, a long gold bead necklace and a red tilak, hands folded in his lap with eyes closed. Around the throne, several devotees in white dhotis and white clothes kneel or sit on the floor, some holding brass vessels and offerings; a woman in a white sari with gold motifs and a pink shawl sits near the throne's gold side panel. Behind is a painted backdrop with pillars, brass lamps and a small deity murti in a red-framed niche. A lit oil lamp stands at the right edge. Overlay text reads copyright and source credits. Visible cues for a candidate are his long swept-back hair, saffron-red robe and gold necklace seated on a throne, but the appearance is only moderately distinctive, so the a person value is unsure.2011-01-25A photograph of a seated man on an ornate red throne with gold-trimmed back, wearing an orange-saffron shawl over bare shoulders, long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, and multiple beaded gold-toned necklaces. He rests his chin on his hand while seated in the throne. Behind him, several men in white dhotis with red-bordered cloth stand or sit, and a woman in a cream sari with an orange shawl stands at right holding orange cloth. Draped orange cushions rest on the chair arms.

Long dark hair swept back, distinctive ornate gold necklace and red-robed attire give a probable Swamiji appearance; he sits on the throne beside a gold trident and a gold lion figure. Behind them, several women in saffron and white saris stand and sit, a child in a red headwrap peeks in, and a person in white sits at right near a laptop, camera and stacked books. White curtains hang on the wall.2010-09-11
