A standing man in an orange-saffron draped robe with long hair worn down and a bindi on his forehead stretches his right arm toward the head of a seated participant in a navy shirt with a circular graphic. He holds a microphone in his left hand. Around them, a large seated audience in dark and white clothing sits on colourful floor mats in a hall with red drapes, and a large screen behind shows an image. The scene looks like a guided yoga or energy session.

December 15 20162016-12-15December 15 20162016-12-15A standing man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with long dark hair, a full beard, a red tilak on his forehead and a headset microphone, stands among seated participants in a tent. He rests one hand on the head of a seated young man in a black t-shirt and extends the other hand toward him in a blessing gesture. Other seated attendees in black and striped shirts face the stage. Behind them hang red and yellow tassel decorations, a red curtain and a glowing screen, and a white ornate throne with red cushions stands at right. The appearance has several cues associated with the Swamiji candidate: long hair, orange clothing and a mic, though the face is not used for identification. Swamiji (probable) is shown giving a blessing to a seated devotee during a satsang-style session.2016-12-15A standing man in an orange saffron robe holds a microphone in his right hand and places his left hand on the head of a seated participant in a dark shirt during a yoga session in a large hall. He has long swept-back dark hair, a full beard, a red bindi and white tripundra marks on his forehead, and a lapel microphone clipped to his face. Behind him a large screen shows a blurred projected image. Thirty or more seated participants in dark and white clothes sit on colourful mats across the hall, and a cameraman stands at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the standing figure wears saffron robes, long swept-back hair and a rudraksha-style forehead marking while giving a discourse and blessing a student.2016-12-15December 15 20162016-12-15December 15 20162016-12-15December 15 20162016-12-15A large yoga session in a decorated tent with many seated participants on colourful mats. A bearded man in an orange-saffron wrap stands centrally, with his right hand on his hip and a small red-and-white forehead mark, holding a head mic; he appears to be the teacher, and his appearance matches the presentation cues for Swamiji (probable) with long swept-back hair and saffron robes. Around him, seated students in black and navy tops and a woman in a yellow top meditate with eyes closed or lightly open, some hands in prayer, and a toddler sits on a woman's lap. Overhead hang colourful tassel decorations and small lamps, with white drapes and a large screen behind. A cameraman stands at the left edge.2016-12-15A photograph inside a large hall where a crowd sits on colourful striped mats during a yoga session. A standing man in an orange-saffron sleeveless garment with a wrap draped over his shoulder stands at centre, with long dreadlocked hair, a full dark beard and a white tilak with red centre on his forehead, gesturing with an open hand toward the seated participants. The seated people wear black and green clothing; some raise their hands. Red and yellow paper decorations hang from the ceiling, and a red column and white wall frame the room.2016-12-15A man in a flowing orange-red saffron wrap walks down the centre of a hall past a seated audience of many people in dark clothing. He wears a red tilak on his forehead, a red thread bracelet, and has long dark hair falling to his back and a full beard. His appearance matches the a person reference on the page, with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a tilak, so he is. On the left stands an ornate silver-framed red velvet throne-like chair. Behind him a cameraman films with a tripod camera, and a white table fan stands in the foreground. Audience members sit in rows in black and dark-coloured clothing, many with eyes closed. White drapery covers the back wall.2016-12-15December 15 20162016-12-15A standing man in a saffron-orange sleeveless dhoti and shawl with a gold-bordered hem stands on a striped floor rug, holding a small object in one hand, with a headset microphone at his face and a red tilak on his forehead. Seated participants in black tops and a few in red sit on mats in the foreground. Behind them is a large backdrop showing a cosmic nebula in pink and blue, a golden deity murti, and rows of golden trishul staves along a red stage wall. Ornate gold lamps flank the stage. The man's long swept-back hair and saffron clothing suggest Swamiji (probable), appearing in person as a yoga session leader.2016-12-15
