A man stands barefoot on a white tiled floor in a temple-style hall, wearing a rust-brown robe with yellow borders wrapped at the waist and over one shoulder. He wears a long gold necklace, a beaded mala, and gold bangles, and gestures with one hand near his chest. Behind him is an ornate golden throne with red cushions flanked by golden lion figures, and on each side stand painted deity murtis with multiple arms, crowns and orange-tipped hand objects against blue-and-pink pillars. Brass oil lamps stand along both sides, and red carpets lie on the floor.

July 25 20132013-07-25A standing man in a rust-brown and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl, with a brown rudraksha-style mala and a large gold ceremonial pendant, gestures with his right hand while speaking. Behind him is a golden throne with red velvet cushions, a stylized tiger-skin draping its seat, and gilded lion figures. Flanking the throne are painted multi-armed deity statues in orange and green garments, and brass oil lamps (deepa stands) line the stage. The walls are blue with pink-and-green column capitals, and a red carpet lies before the dais in a hall setting.2013-07-25July 25 20132013-07-25September 12 20132013-09-12A man in a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl stands barefoot on a white stage, one arm extended, smiling, with a long rudraksha-style mala necklace and a bindi on his forehead. Behind him stand two painted deity murti figures with multiple arms holding ceremonial implements, flanking a golden throne draped in red cushions and a tiger-skin cloth. Brass lamps stand along the stage edges, and a clear acrylic lectern is at left. The backdrop is blue with ornate temple-style pillars and pink and green motifs. The man has a visible shaved-looking head with a small bindi, and the throne-and-mala setting is consistent with a person candidate, but appearance cues are only partially distinctive here.2013-09-12A man in a maroon and gold dhoti-style garment and a red-and-gold turban with a crescent emblem stands before a golden throne flanked by golden lion figures and a tiger-skin cloth. A rudraksha-style bead mala hangs around his neck. He holds his palms together with a smiling expression. Two standing deity murti figures with four arms and golden crowns stand on either side, holding ritual objects, and brass oil lamps line the stage. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of a turban, a maroon and gold ceremonial garment, and a bead mala are present, so this is a candidate Swamiji seated in a presentation setting.2013-11-13July 25 20132013-07-25June 13 20132013-06-13September 14 20132013-09-14A man stands barefoot on a red carpet in front of a gilded throne (peetha) flanked by two painted standing deity murti figures holding ritual objects, with red velvet curtains framing the stage. He wears an orange-saffron turban, a saffron and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl, and a heavy gold necklace with a pendant and a rudraksha-style mala. Both arms are raised with open palms facing outward, and he smiles as he addresses the audience. Ornate blue, green and red painted pillars and a gilded arch frame the throne. Probable Swamiji cues: orange turban, saffron robes, ornate gold necklace, and a throne setting, presented as the speaker.2013-07-30September 14 20132013-09-14September 14 20132013-09-14
