June 14 20152015-06-14A photograph of a screen showing two scenes side by side. On the left, a woman in a cream sari with a red garland and glasses stands beside a man in white clothes with a red rudraksha-style garland, holding a small object, in a hall with seated audience members in white and colourful outfits. Below them is a decorated floral arrangement with a small framed image. On the right, a figure wearing a saffron-orange turban and orange-red robes speaks into a microphone on a stand, one hand raised near his face, with a purple beaded bracelet on his wrist. The right-hand figure is a candidate for Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues: saffron turban and orange ornate robes, shown on a screen.2015-06-14A photograph inside a large hall with purple-lit wall panels, where a crowd of participants in white and orange shawls gathers. In the foreground, a smiling woman in an orange turban and a long garland of white and red flowers holds a pink flower and gestures with one hand while seated. To the right, a man in orange robes with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a headset microphone sits in a brown leather chair, gesturing toward the group. Behind them, many people in white clothes and orange shawls move about and sit. A small girl in a colourful top sits at the lower left. Probable Swamiji is the man in orange robes with long hair and rudraksha malas seated in the chair, a ceremonial role among the gathered devotees.2015-05-26A photograph from a KAILASA event in a room with patterned gold wallpaper. In the foreground a man in white ritual clothes with an orange shawl kneels at left with hands pressed together in namaskar, facing a seated woman at right. She wears a rust-orange turban, a rust-orange sari with gold border, a heavy gold necklace with ornate pendant, bangles and a small lapel microphone, and sits on a brown leather chair. Behind them a woman in a dark-red sari sits with a rudraksha mala, and a crowd of women in white and orange-red shawls sits or stands along the back. The seated woman is presented as a central figure, but no appearance-based cues qualify her as the a person candidate, so she is described by role only.2015-07-12July 13 20152015-07-13October 21 20152015-10-21A photograph of a seated ritual in a hall with patterned gold wallpaper. On the right, a figure in an orange-red turban, orange-red robe, heavy gold necklaces and a gold armband sits on a brown leather chair, extending one arm forward. Before them, a man in white clothes with a red-orange shawl kneels and bows with palms joined, receiving the touch on his forehead. Behind them, seated and standing women in white, orange and red shawls watch; one woman in a red sari holds a rudraksha mala. A brass vessel and a gold-framed pole are in the foreground. The figure in the turban appears to be a probable Swamiji by appearance cues, including the ornate turban, saffron clothing and gold ornaments.2015-07-12Photo of a ceremonial gathering in front of a backdrop showing a night-sky galaxy and a glowing orange sun. On the right, a man in an orange turban, orange-and-gold sash, pink flower garland and bangles stands smiling and extends his hand toward a seated man in a white kurta with an orange shawl who is pressing his palms together in namaskar. Behind them, a man in an orange turban and orange garland sits, a brass lamp with a bird finial stands on a table, and a white-bearded man in glasses and orange cloth is partly visible at left. Four people are visible, and the scene reads as a reception or honouring moment rather than a temple ritual. The right-hand figure has distinctive orange-and-gold clothing, a turban and a flower garland, so the appearance-based label applies.2015-07-19Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate brown throne-style chair in a hall with patterned gold wallpaper, facing a large seated audience. The central figure wears an orange-red turban, a gold-and-beads necklace and a patterned orange garment, with hands raised in a mudra. A tall golden trident stands beside the chair, and a small table holds a microphone and a steel tumbler. Most of the audience wear white or orange-red clothing and orange shawls, with several holding microphones and some people standing at the back.2015-07-12May 26 20152015-05-26Indoor ceremony in a hall with lavender-patterned panels and a crowd in the background. In the centre, a smiling man in a red-orange turban and orange rudraksha mala holds a trident-like staff wrapped with white garland, seated cross-legged and extending a hand. A man in white with a red-orange shawl stands at left, and a white-clad figure with white hair leans over him from behind. On the right, a man in orange robes with a long rudraksha mala and tilak sits in a brown leather armchair, smiling and raising a hand in greeting. Other devotees in white and orange stand nearby.2015-05-26May 27 20152015-05-27
