A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and matching orange turban sits on a white cushioned seat in a room with pale blue curtains and a white sofa. He has a red bindi on his forehead, a rudraksha mala around his neck, and is draped with a long garland of white jasmine, red roses and green leaves, with blue glass-beaded ornaments on the garland. He sits with eyes lowered and hands resting in a meditative pose, with bare feet on a floor scattered with petals of red, yellow and white flowers. Flanked by potted white and pink flowering plants and a floral-patterned table cover, this is a ceremonial welcome or honouring scene.

He wears a long white and pink flower garland with red blooms, a rudraksha mala of dark beads, and a gold ornament at his chest. His hands rest on his lap as he looks to the side and smiles. Another person's purple garment is visible at the right edge of the frame, and a dark table is behind him. The clothing and garlands suggest a sannyasi or honoured guest at a satsang gathering, and a portrait-style arched border frames the image.2004-02-18 +1 copies2010 - Photo Album +1 copiesOctober 17 20102010-10-17A smiling man with long dark hair sits on an ornate silver palanquin-style seat decorated with yellow, white and magenta flower garlands. He wears a saffron-orange garment over his shoulders, a beige turban with a gold band and red tilak, and a multi-strand garland of white, purple, yellow and red flowers. Gold bead necklaces hang on his chest. He gestures with one open hand while looking upward. A red and gold embroidered cloth covers the seat in front, with marigold and white flower garlands around it. Probable Swamiji: the saffron clothing, long hair, turban and ceremonial gold necklaces fit the cues for the page's subject, shown in a procession-style setting.2009-12-25A man seated in front of an ornate gold repoussé throne, wearing an orange saffron turban with a red tilak mark on his forehead, an orange saffron robe, a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, and a garland of white jasmine with red and green accents. His hands are folded in his lap and he looks to the side with a slight smile. Long dark hair falls behind his shoulders. The red and gold upholstered seat and floral decorations frame him. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, long hair, gold necklace and saffron robe are consistent with the described presentation, and he is seated on a throne, so the identity is only an appearance-based label.2008-07-17A standing man in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair swept back and a red bindi, wearing a heavy gold rudraksha-style necklace with a gold pendant, raises both palms in a blessing gesture. He stands before a large ornate gold throne with red cushions, framed by a tall backdrop of white jasmine garlands and red roses, with flower garlands draped on the throne's base and an apple and fruit placed on a side table. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robe and ceremonial gold necklace match the page's Swamiji claim, so the figure is identified by appearance cues alone, in a stage or satsang setting.2010-02-07December 25 20092009-12-25 +1 copiesMay 31 20122012-05-31A smiling man sits cross-legged on a golden throne in a floral setting.
