A long-haired man in an orange saffron robe sits on a red-cushioned throne, smiling and reaching forward to hold the hands of a person in white who kneels before him. Around the stage, seated people in orange robes hold tall wooden staffs topped with orange cloth, and a dark-robed devotee sits in the foreground beside a woman with long dark hair. A probable Swamiji figure is present: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a gold necklace on the throne. The stage is lit warmly and the scene reads as a Guru Poornima style honouring ceremony.2006-07-11Photograph of a stage darshan. A man with long dark hair wearing an orange-red robe sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with marigold garlands, his hands raised in blessing over a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears a white shirt and white dhoti with a gold bangle and bends forward, hands clasped in reverence. Standing behind on the left is a young man in an orange kurta and orange shawl with a rudraksha mala, looking on. A water bottle sits on the stage floor beside the throne, and hanging marigold strands decorate the backdrop. The seated figure matches the page's Swamiji candidate by long swept-back hair, red-orange robes and ornate throne, so the identity is probable from these cues.2009-02-14July 11 20092009-07-11December 25 20052005-12-25A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe with a long beaded necklace and sits on a red-cushioned throne decorated with white flower garlands and a gold lion-shaped carving. Looking down with a smile, he extends his hands to a kneeling devotee in a white shirt and beaded necklace who bows with folded hands at his feet. Behind them, rows of saffron-robed sannyasis, many shaved-headed, sit on the floor holding long bamboo poles with orange cloth streamers, with brass oil lamps placed in front. A red elephant-shaped backdrop frames the stage. The swami is probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long hair, saffron robe and ornate necklace, seated on a throne during an honouring ritual.2006-07-11January 24 20092009-01-24September 14 20152015-09-14A seated figure with long dark hair wears a red sleeveless garment, a red and white flower garland with rose accents, and a gold-bordered cloth draped over the lap. In front of them, a man in saffron-orange robes and an orange shawl holds a small object with both hands, appearing to tend or adjust something near the seated figure's neck area. Behind them, a bald man in white and a partly visible figure in orange stand near maroon curtains and a blue-lit backdrop. The seated figure's face is turned toward the man in orange. Its appearance is consistent with a presentation that matches the page's a person reference but the cues are not strong enough to confirm identity, so no name is asserted.2012-04-24January 09 20122012-01-09 +1 copiesA seated man with long dark hair wears a sleeveless saffron-orange garment and a long rudraksha mala, and sits on a white-draped seat before a temple shrine.
