Photograph of a doorway at a healing centre opening, decorated with white jasmine garlands, banana leaves and a red-and-white hanging. In the centre, a smiling figure in a long saffron-orange robe, wearing a multi-strand flower garland of red and white blossoms, is greeted by men in white shirts and dhotis. A man in a red-and-gold shawl reaches toward the robed figure, and a man with a camera on the left films the entrance. The figure's long, swept-back hair and saffron robe are cues consistent with Swamiji (probable), appearing in person at the doorway. Several men in white and a man in a pink shirt crowd the threshold.

Devotees line both sides with hands pressed together in anjali; women wear saris in yellow, maroon, pink and gold, and a small child stands at left. Men in white shirts and dhotis stand in the group behind him. Behind the entrance arch hang bunches of green bananas on banana plants, with brass oil lamps on pedestals and red-and-gold railings. The figure has the saffron robe and garland cues of a sannyasi, so this appearance-based candidate is described as a person receiving devotee greeting at the entrance; the setting appears to be a house visit or satsang welcome.2010-01-21December 31 20092009-12-31A dense outdoor crowd presses around a bald, white-bearded man in an orange-saffron robe, with a red-orange shawl draped over his shoulders. He is being guided through the throng by men in white shirts and dhotis, some with raised hands reaching toward him. A man in a white shirt and mask stands near, and a man in white holds a large garland of red flowers at right. Several men in white, some with gold wristwatches and bracelets, press in from all sides. a person cues: saffron robe and an ornate, distinctive presence, but the face is not clearly visible enough to confirm. The scene reads as a procession or public darshan, with people reaching out to touch or greet the central figure.2009-07-23
