September 30 20082008-09-30A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair sits on a white-covered cushioned seat with an orange cloth draped over it. A person in an orange and pink robe lies prostrate face down on a striped mat in front of the seat, with hands extended and forehead touching a red patterned rug. Three standing men in white dhotis and orange shawls stand behind, one holding a yellow cloth. A white wall forms the backdrop.2008-09-30A photograph of a man seated on a white-covered sofa against a whitewashed wall, wearing an orange-red shawl with gold border over an orange garment, hands clasped in his lap. A second man in white clothing bows forward with his head lowered toward the seated man's feet. A striped mat covers the floor, a wall calendar hangs above, and a white bundle sits at the right edge. The seated man's appearance is consistent with the page's a person candidate, with orange robes and a shawl, but the face is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.2008-10-19A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair sits on a white-draped cushioned seat on a red patterned rug, gesturing with one hand toward a devotee who lies prostrate in full-length obeisance on the mat in white clothes with an orange sash. Behind them, three standing men in orange robes and one in white stand on a woven mat before a plain white wall, a rudraksha mala visible on one standing man. The scene suggests a formal darshan or pada-namaskar in an ashram hall.2008-09-30A photograph of a seated figure in an orange robe with long dark hair, resting on a white-covered cushioned seat with an orange cloth draped over it, hands in a mudra-like gesture. A devotee in white dhoti and orange-bordered shawl lies prostrate on the floor with forehead touching a red patterned rug, while a standing attendant in white with an orange sash stands on woven mats at right, and another person in white with a yellow sash is partly visible at top left. The white walls and woven mats suggest an ashram hall. Identity of the seated figure is not established from appearance alone; a sannyasi in orange with long hair seated on a throne-like seat during a prostration.2008-09-30A seated figure in long swept-back dark hair and flowing saffron-orange robes sits on a white-draped raised seat with an orange cloth and a cushion, holding a rudraksha mala in the hands. In front of the seat, a devotee in orange robes with a red border lies prostrate on a woven mat, head bowed near the raised seat. Behind them, a standing man in orange clothing with a red-bordered dhoti and a white garment on his shoulder stands on the mat with hands folded. The setting is a plain white-walled hall with a concrete floor.2008-09-30October 19 20082008-10-19October 09 20082008-10-09A seated figure in long flowing saffron-orange robes with long dark swept hair sits on a white-draped low seat with an orange cushion, holding a rudraksha mala and gesturing with an open hand toward a man in a white kurta prostrating face-down on a red patterned rug. Behind them, several men in orange dhotis and shawls stand on a woven mat against a white wall, one holding a mala. A deity-style red floor mat with a mandala-like design lies under the seat. The scene suggests a devotee offering obeisance (padapuja-style prostration) before a respected guru, with the seated figure's appearance matching the probable Swamiji cues of long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a mala.2008-09-30September 30 20082008-09-30Indoor photograph in a simple room with a blue-and-orange striped mat and a yellow curtain behind. A man in orange robes and a red inner garment sits on an orange-draped seat with a microphone on a stand beside him, his hand resting on the head of a kneeling person in white. A younger man in orange robes stands at left holding a stack of books. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at right, and a woman in white with orange shawl sits in the background. Two small sandals rest on the floor near the seat.2009-09-08Photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a gold border, long dark swept-back hair and a marigold garland, sitting on an orange-draped bed while a devotee in white kneels and bows his head to the figure's feet on a pink and orange cloth scattered with marigold petals. Beside them a younger man in orange robes with a gold chain sits to the side, and an older bearded man in white with a red headwrap sits on a blue mat near a red stool in the background. The room has white walls, curtained windows and a small altar area at the back. The appearance cues of the seated figure, long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a marigold garland, are consistent with a probable Swamiji, who is being honoured by a devotee in a ritual of padapuja. Four physical people are visible.2008-06-09
