A photo taken inside a hall beside a whitewashed wall and an open doorway. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at left, painting the face of a life-size clay figure with a fine brush; the figure has a pink-brown face, long dark hair, and a gold-bordered white garment. Another man in white with a dhoti stands at left edge, and a small child's head is visible at bottom left. A blue-and-white checked cloth covers a table holding paint tubes, a small bowl and bottles. Behind them a shelf displays framed photographs. At right, a person in a saffron-orange robe with long hair sits holding a blue booklet, a microphone on a stand before him, with a standing electric fan between them.

September 20 20062006-09-20September 20 20062006-09-20September 20 20062006-09-20A photograph of an artist finishing a life-size clay sculpture of a seated woman in a white sari with a gold border. A grey-haired man in a white shirt and pink lungi stands at the right, touching the statue's face with a tool while a moustached man in a white shirt and tan dhoti watches at left. At far left, a young man in white kurta with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala holds a video camera to his eye. Behind them is a wall with a glass display case of books and a bottle on a blue table.2006-09-20A seated man with long curly dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap draped over bare shoulders and sits beside a microphone on a stand, facing left toward a small audience. In front of him, a man in a white shirt bends forward and touches the hands of a man in a yellow and orange plaid shirt standing by a doorway, with a white wall and a black oscillating fan nearby. Several heads of listeners are in the foreground, including one person in an orange garment. The setting is a dark hall with a shelf of framed pictures on the upper left. The seated man is an appearance-based candidate for a person, identified by his long swept hair, saffron wrap and bare-shouldered clothing while seated at the microphone during a satsang-style gathering.2006-09-20A photograph of two men working on a terracotta clay head sculpture on a yellow-covered table in a doorway. The man on the left wears a white shirt and pink-beige dhoti and holds the sculpture's base; the man in the middle wears a yellow and white checked shirt and white dhoti and rests his hands on the clay head. A long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe sits at the right beside a microphone stand, looking toward the sculpture. A pedestal fan stands behind the sculpture, with framed images on the wall. The sculpture shows a smiling male face. Three people are visible.2006-09-20September 20 20062006-09-20September 20 20062006-09-20A photograph in a plain concrete-walled hall with a corrugated metal roof. A standing man in flowing orange-saffron robes with long, swept-back dark hair and a long rudraksha-style bead necklace stands with his hands folded near his chest, looking down. Beside him is a life-size lifelike statue of a seated figure in white dhoti and shawl with gold-coloured borders, a red tilak on the forehead, one hand raised in greeting, seated on a black metal folding chair. Two blurred people stand in the background, and a small orange flag hangs on the wall. The standing man has distinctive long hair and saffron robes, which is consistent with the Swamiji appearance cues, so the appearance is a probable match.2007-01-27A photograph of an indoor event at night. In the centre, a standing figure in a saffron-orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala rests one hand on the shoulder of a life-size seated figure in a white dhoti and shawl with gold trim, a red bindi, and a raised right palm in a blessing gesture. The seated figure is a statue or effigy, not a living person. On the left, a man in white holds a tall ornate banner pole with a yellow and red fringe. Behind them, a row of people in white and cream clothing stands with hands folded, and a few more are visible at the right edge. Several people in the background appear to be physical attendees. The setting is dim with plain concrete walls. Swamiji (probable) appears as the standing figure in orange, based on long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala.2007-01-27January 12 20092009-01-12A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on a white-cushioned seat before a deep red velvet drape, with a bottle of water and a small table beside him. A woman in white robes bends forward toward him at the right, her long braid hanging forward, while a man in an orange shawl stands behind her near a standing fan. Another person in white and orange stands in an open doorway at the back right, and a white-clad figure is partly visible at the far right edge. The seated figure has shoulder-length dark hair and is bare-footed on a red mat, and the overall scene is a reception in an indoor hall with a concrete floor.2006-11-14
