A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and a gold lion figure at its side. He wears a saffron-orange sleeveless robe over a red top, with a red mark on his forehead, and presses his palms together in front of his face in a namaste gesture with eyes closed. A gold footstool with a red velvet cushion sits in front of the throne, and a music stand or lectern stands to the left. A gold chandelier hangs above, and an exit sign is visible on the wall behind. The person's visible cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and an ornate throne match the page's Swamiji reference, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.2007-11-15December 23 20082008-12-23A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion armrests and a gold canopy with hanging tassels, in front of a projection screen. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe, a long rudraksha mala draped across his chest, and a white vibhuti line with a red dot on his forehead. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders and his hands are pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes closed. A small lectern with an open book stands to his left, and water bottles and a red velvet cushion sit nearby. Probable Swamiji is seated in a teaching posture, with qualifying cues of long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and a throne, so he is identified here as the in-person subject.2007-11-15December 27 20082008-12-27February 27 20112011-02-27 +1 copiesOctober 31 20102010-10-31 +2 copiesA person with long dark hair sits with palms pressed together at chest level in a namaskar gesture, eyes closed, on an ornate gold-and-red throne. He wears an orange sleeveless garment and a white flower garland with a red-and-white bead necklace. A microphone stand is in front of him, and a brass vessel, an orange cloth and orange flowers rest on a table at left. A large gilded carved backrest with figurative relief stands behind him against a red drape. Visible appearance cues include long swept hair and orange clothing, but the page does not state he is present, so the identity is uncertain.2009-06-21A figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe sits with palms pressed together in namaste on an ornate gold and silver throne with red velvet cushions, draped with marigold garlands and red flowers. Long dark hair falls past the shoulders and a bindi-style mark is on the forehead. Fruit offerings sit on white-draped tables flanking the throne on a polished wooden stage, with more garlands hanging on the backdrop. Appearance-based a person: long swept hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial throne seated in namaste, indicating a seated guru on stage during a darshan.2009-02-14June 21 20092009-06-21A man with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with red zebra-striped cushions against a bright green wall. He wears an orange saffron robe and a long white and red flower garland, with his palms pressed together in namaste and eyes closed. Red and yellow flowers lie at his feet on an orange cloth. Above him is a pink ornamental motif painted on the wall.2010-08-08A seated man in an orange saffron robe presses his palms together in anjali with eyes closed and a red bindi on his forehead. He has long, dark, wavy hair and wears a large ring with a stone. Behind him is an ornate gilded copper-embossed throne with a red velvet backrest and a small relief of a deity pair at its top. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robe and throne setting are the cues, and the page names him as present, so identity is only appearance-based. The scene reads as a quiet devotional moment in a sacred-arts or ashram setting.2006-12-10February 16 20112011-02-16 +1 copies
