Photo of a satsang or darshan in a temple-style hall. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe and rudraksha mala sits on a red throne-like seat, reaching out his right hand toward a man in a white shirt who raises his hand in greeting. Behind them is a decorated ratha-style canopy draped in red, yellow and green with ornate panels, garlands of white and yellow flowers, and a golden deity murti. Edge-of-frame figure in white and a red-cushioned seat with offerings of fruit and sweets in front. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated teacher in saffron with long hair, white tilak and rudraksha mala, giving darshan.

A long-haired man with white tilak in an orange saffron wrap and rudraksha malas sits on a red cushioned seat, right hand raised in a high-five-like gesture toward an older bald man in white dhoti and shirt with a red shawl and rudraksha mala, who raises his hand back and smiles. A younger man in white with white tilak and rudraksha sits nearby, and standing figures in white and red shawls stand behind. Four or so visible people in the frame.2013-07-13July 03 20132013-07-03July 15 20132013-07-15A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron dhoti-style wrap with a long thick rudraksha mala draped across his chest, his long swept-back hair and a white tilak on his forehead visible. He sits on a red upholstered seat, eyes closed and smiling, extending his right arm toward a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears a white shirt and a red-orange shawl, palms raised toward him in a gesture of reverence. Behind them stands a deity murti draped in bright yellow, green, red and purple floral garlands, with a red curtain at left. The seated man's appearance matches the page's Swamiji description, with long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate in an in-person setting. A small emblem appears at the top left corner.2013-07-14A seated figure in an orange-brown robe with long, swept-back dark hair and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala extends a hand to touch the forehead of a young man in a white t-shirt, who stands with palms pressed together in reverence. The seated figure wears a white forehead mark and gold-toned ornaments, and sits on a red-upholstered seat. Behind them is a large deity murti decorated with colourful garlands in red, yellow, green, blue and purple. A bystander on the right wears white with a yellow border and a rudraksha mala, with white sacred ash on the forehead. This appears to be a blessing or darshan moment. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, orange robe and rudraksha mala, seated and giving blessing.2013-07-02July 02 20132013-07-02Two men face each other in conversation in a satsang setting. On the left, a man with long dark hair wears an orange-brown shawl over his shoulder, a gold-toned ornate necklace and a brown rudraksha-style mala, with a white forehead mark, seated on a deep red cushioned chair. On the right, a man with long hair tied back in a ponytail wears a white t-shirt and a red cord, gesturing with both palms raised toward him. Behind them is a richly decorated throne backdrop draped with red, yellow, green and purple flower garlands and golden ornaments, with a small cloth-covered table at lower left.2013-07-02A seated figure with long dark hair, a crown-like headpiece, rudraksha beads and a rust-coloured wrap faces a man in a white short-sleeved shirt who gestures with both open hands in conversation. Behind them is a colourful deity murti or decorated backdrop with yellow, red and blue garlands and fabric. A man in white dhoti with a white tilak and rudraksha mala sits in the middle, and another man in a white shirt with a red shawl sits at the right edge. The setting suggests a satsang or discourse.2013-07-13
