A man with long swept-back dark hair and a full beard sits on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat, wearing an orange-saffron shawl over his body and holding a handheld microphone in his right hand while gesturing with his left. Seated on the floor in front of him, a man in white ritual dhoti with a rudraksha mala around his neck and an orange-saffron cloth sits near a white oscillating fan. Behind them a large audience of mostly women sits in a bright hall with white draped walls and red curtains, one woman in front wearing a red top and another in a blue-grey shirt at right. The swamiji candidate shows distinctive long hair, saffron shawl and rudraksha-style cues, appearance-based only.

A golden trishul stands at left. Behind him, an audience of many people sits on the floor in white, orange and pastel clothing, and a screen at top left shows a figure in pink. A white pedestal fan stands in the foreground. A man with a rudraksha-style mala and a sincere presentation of long hair and a beard fits the page's stated appearance cues, so the probable Swamiji label applies to the seated speaker on the throne, presiding over a discourse.2016-12-14A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged on a red velvet throne with an ornate silver carved frame and a lion-face motif at the top. He wears a saffron-orange shawl over bare shoulders and an orange dhoti with gold border, a red thread on his wrist, and holds a black handheld microphone in his raised right hand while smiling and speaking.

He has a full dark beard and long dark hair falling behind him, and he is looking off to the side with a small smile while a microphone is at his face. A silver ceremonial staff stands at left, and a table draped in a gold-and-maroon cloth holds papers. Audience members in orange, white and red clothing fill the hall, a woman in the foreground wears a dark dress with an orange shawl, and a large screen above shows a red and white image.

He wears a small white forehead mark and a dark head covering. Seated in front, a man in white ritual clothing sits on the left. A large audience in black clothing fills the hall, with a gold-decorated shrine and red drapes behind the throne and a projection screen at right. The figure in saffron and the throne match the page's visible cues, so the identity is probable: a person, seated on a throne and teaching an audience during a satsang session.2016-12-18December 14 20162016-12-14December 19 20162016-12-19A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne in a hall, holding a handheld microphone to his face with one hand and smiling while resting his other hand on his cheek. A white electric fan stands in front of the throne. Behind and around him, a large audience sits on the floor in rows, many in black, white and red tops, with a few women in saris and a man in a white dhoti with a yellow border in the lower foreground. Stacked colourful cloth and bedding fill the background against red and white draped curtains. The person on the throne has long dark hair and a beard, with saffron robes and a mic, consistent with the a person candidate, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm identity.2016-12-19 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man with long dreadlocks and a full beard, wearing a saffron-orange shawl draped over his shoulders, speaking into a handheld microphone while seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne-style chair. In front of him is a white electric fan. Behind him a large audience of people, mostly women in dark clothing, sits in rows in a hall with white drapery and a red column. Strong candidate appearance cues (dreadlocks, saffron shawl, throne, microphone) indicate a person teaching in person during a discourse session, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2016-12-19December 18 20162016-12-18December 19 20162016-12-19
