Photograph inside a thatched-roof hut with woven palm walls. A young person with long dark hair, wearing orange robes and bare feet, sits on a pink throne-like seat with red cushions and a red cloth, smiling and extending a fruit. A kneeling elder with white beard and grey hair, in a light peach shawl and orange robe, bows and offers an apple-like fruit toward the seated figure. A standing bearded sadhu in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds fruit on the right, beside a table with flowers, water bottles and a framed portrait of a smiling man in a white turban. A man in white dhoti and orange shawl stands at the left edge, and a white plastic chair sits in the foreground. Red rose petals decorate the throne.

Photograph of a guru-puja style ceremony on a red-cushioned raised seat. A woman with long dark curly hair, wearing an orange saffron garment, sits on the red throne smiling and holds a yellow fruit while another fruit is offered to her. Standing beside her, an older bearded man in orange robes with white forehead markings extends fruit toward her, and in the lower left a kneeling man in light orange clothing with white face markings holds a walking staff. A bamboo-matting wall forms the backdrop, with a small screen visible at upper left.2006-10-08October 08 20062006-10-08A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe sits on a raised red-cushioned throne-like seat inside a thatched, dome-roofed hut with a terracotta-tiled floor. A wooden walking stick leans against the seat, and a small red cloth lies on the floor before it, with red flowers tucked along the seat. Four men stand or kneel before the seat in white ritual clothes with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces: three stand in a row, while one kneels on the floor with hands folded. A framed portrait is on the wall behind them, and a white plastic chair sits at the right edge. The seated figure has long dark hair and appears to be speaking with the group.2006-10-08October 08 20062006-10-08May 07 20122012-05-07 +1 copiesA photograph of a padapuja ceremony on a raised stage with dark red drapery. A seated figure with long swept-back hair, a saffron-orange robe and a dark rudraksha mala sits on a large white throne with a red cushion, holding an orange fruit and smiling. A kneeling man in orange robes with a red shawl leans toward his feet, while a bald man in white with an orange shawl stands at the side of the throne, and another man in white with a yellow shawl stands behind him. A standing man on the left wears an orange dhoti and shawl. Fruits and offerings sit on a white table beside the throne. The seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, and is being honoured with padapuja.2010-07-27December 30 20092009-12-30A smiling person with long dark hair and an orange saffron garment sits on a red-cushioned pink throne-like chair inside a thatched hut with a woven palm wall and a red rose tucked into the thatch. A devotee in a white turban and white clothes kneels or sits facing the throne from the foreground. Behind them, a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a dark-haired attendant stand near the side. White plastic chairs sit at the right edge. The seated figure has a red tilak mark on the forehead and holds a small object in one hand. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure shows cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a throne, consistent with the page's identification of Swamiji at this event.2006-10-08A photograph inside a thatched-roof hall with a woven bamboo wall. A long-haired figure in an orange saffron robe sits on a red-cushioned throne, placing a hand on the head of a kneeling man in white with his palms pressed together in prayer. A man in white with an orange shawl stands at the left edge, and another man in white with an orange shawl and an ID badge stands at the right. A small red flower lies on the throne.
