A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red turban and orange cloth draped over a red seat, on a golden lion-shaped throne-like ornament with a gold ornate backrest beside it. The seated person wears a multicoloured garland and a dark rudraksha-style necklace, with long braided hair visible. In the foreground a silver tray holds rows of round golden-brown sweet balls, and to the right a man in orange clothing and a second person in clear gloves reach toward the tray. Bright stage lights illuminate the scene against a dark backdrop. The setting resembles a darshan area with offerings.

A figure seated on an ornate red-cushioned golden throne with a carved lion-head armrest wears an orange-saffron turban and orange-tan clothing, a multicoloured flower garland, and has long dark swept-back hair; the figure is smiling and holds a fruit. Devotees approach to receive fruit: a bald man in saffron robes with a rudraksha-style bead necklace holds a red fruit, a woman in a green blouse and purple shawl and a woman in white with red border stand nearby, and a man in white dhoti and shawl with a tilak stands at right. Others crowd behind, and a video camera on a tripod is visible in the background. Red draping and a gold canopy frame the scene.2016-04-30Photograph of a crowded indoor darshan hall under a white tent with stage lights and suspended lamps. A tall figure with long dreadlocked hair, wearing an orange-red turban, a garland of flowers and an orange-red wrap, stands beside an ornate gold and red throne, leaning over a golden lion-form seat. Devotees press close, a woman in a red and white sari, a man in a teal shirt, and a shaved-headed devotee in an orange shawl with a rudraksha mala, one holding a small packet of offerings.

Beside him, a man with a bare upper body, rudraksha mala and forehead markings tends to offerings in a wooden box, and another man in white with a gold necklace stands behind. In the foreground, a woman in glasses and a man in a blue shirt bend near the lower edge. A golden lion-form armrest sits at the left of the throne. Swamiji (probable) is shown as the central seated figure, distinguished by the saffron turban, saffron robes, long rudraksha mala and gold chain, seated on the throne at a darshan setting.2016-04-30February 23 20162016-02-23A photograph of a satsang on an ornate gold throne set against orange and red draped fabric. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair, a gold crown and a red beaded mala is extending a hand to offer prasad or blessing to a shaved-headed devotee in orange who kneels before him. A third person in orange robes and a gold chain stands at right holding a silver tray of sweets garnished with pink flowers. Tiger-striped cloth and a gold lion-headed armrest appear at left. The seated figure shows distinctive ceremonial cues, so this is a probable appearance match for a person in the role of the teacher giving satsang and blessing a devotee, though the identification is based on appearance only.2013-02-12April 30 20162016-04-30November 10 20152015-11-10November 10 20152015-11-10February 23 20162016-02-23April 30 20162016-04-30A photo of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, wearing an orange turban and orange-saffron garment with long dark braided hair and a multi-coloured garland, handing out round sweets from a tray to a crowd. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, an orange turban, saffron clothing and a garland, a cue combination consistent with the page's claim, so the figure is treated as a probable candidate. Around him, devotees in white and colourful clothes press forward, including a toddler in a yellow top being held up and a man in a black shirt. In the foreground a shaved-headed priest in orange robes with a rudraksha-style necklace stands with his back to the camera beside silver trays of round sweets. A red backdrop and a carved stone deity panel frame the scene.2016-04-30
