A photograph of an indoor gathering at a centre. A seated man in an orange saffron kurta and dhoti holds a tray of red and green items and offers them to a small child in a turquoise and yellow outfit, while a woman in a white and cream printed kurta leans in to help. A woman in a white saree with gold embroidery stands at left, a woman in a green and cream printed kurta and cream salwar stands behind, and a young woman in a blue saree sits at right with hands folded in prayer. Plain white walls and a speckled floor surround them.2009-08-20A photograph of devotees honouring a seated man on a white-sheeted bed in a plain room with cream walls and a wall fan. He wears an orange saffron robe and a garland of white and red flowers, with long dark hair swept back, and he extends his hand toward a woman in a red-and-cream patterned sari who bows and holds an offering. Around them stand several women and men: a woman in white with a ruffled top bends forward, a woman in a turquoise salwar kameez and orange shawl watches, and a man in cream kurta with a rudraksha mala stands smiling. A tray with sweets sits on the bed beside him, and a small floral arrangement lies near the bed. Appearance-based cues on the seated man (saffron robe, long swept-back hair, garland) are compatible with Swamiji (probable), seated and receiving pada pooja from devotees.2009-09-10A photograph of a padapuja in an indoor room with pale tiled walls. A seated man with long dark hair wears an orange robe, a red-and-white flower garland, a rudraksha-style necklace and a gold chain, and rests his hand on a woman who bows her head to his feet in a white sari with a pink blouse and pearl necklace. Beside them a young woman in a pink floral top holds a pink plastic bag, and two young men in orange clothes sit with hands folded in prayer. On the blue floor in front stand brass vessels, a plate of rice, fruit, a yellow sweet and a lit oil lamp, used for worship.2009-07-25July 27 20092009-07-27A candid indoor photo of a seated man with long dark hair wearing an orange-saffron shawl over a cream garment, sitting on a cushion in front of a dark blue curtain, with his palms gently raised toward a kneeling woman in a white sari with orange border, whose hands are folded and who wears an orange shawl and a nose ring. Standing behind them at the left are an older woman in an orange shawl and a younger woman in a white sari, along with a man partly visible at the lower left and a figure in white at the right edge. Hanging brass ornaments are visible at the top right. The seated man's appearance matches several cues associated with Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a shawl, with the page indicating him at this event. He appears to be giving darshan or blessing the kneeling devotee.2006-12-10A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron kurta and dhoti with maroon borders, palms pressed together in namaste, smiling and seated on a white-covered bed or cot. Beside and before him, a woman in a cream and beige printed sari with a rudraksha mala sits, and two women in cream and gold-bordered saris kneel on a speckled floor with palms joined and malas around their necks, one in a white sari with gold border. Behind them, standing women in white and red saris are partly visible, and a green curtain and wooden chair sit in the background. The setting appears to be an indoor room during a greeting or meeting.2009-08-20Indoor photo of a seated figure in an orange robe and orange turban wearing a multicolour flower garland, sitting on a white-draped bed or dais on a green-and-red platform. Around him, devotees in white clothes and rudraksha malas kneel and stand close, some reaching forward with hands extended, while men in white shirts and dhotis stand behind. A speaker and white curtains are visible in the background. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, though not certain.2007-01-12A photograph of a devotee house visit in a small room with pale yellow walls and an orange-brown roller blind. A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe, long swept-back dark hair, a white flower garland and a red-brown rudraksha mala sits on a white-draped bed, smiling and holding a red-brown mala.

A woman in white with folded hands stands at left, and a masked man in cream clothing stands beside her. A brass tray with a vermilion-red cloth and offerings lies on the bed. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron robes with a flower garland, consistent with a sannyasi; the appearance cues are distinctive enough for an in-person candidate.2009-09-10A photograph of a house visit in a plain room with cream walls, a wall shelf holding small red and green vessels, and a sunlit blind-covered window. A seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a pink-and-white flower garland sits on a white cloth-covered platform, one hand resting on a stack of folded white towels. Beside him, a woman in an orange-and-maroon sari kneels and receives the towels. On the left, a red tray holds rudraksha malas and red fruits such as apples or pomegranates. Standing at right, a man in a white shirt wears a red beaded mala and gestures with a hand to his chin, and an older woman in a cream sari with a red border watches. The seated figure has distinctive orange robes, flowing hair and garland cues, so the appearance is a person match, but the identification is uncertain.2010-02-17September 15 20092009-09-15A photograph of a pada pooja in a devotee's home.

A patterned rug and flower petals lie on the floor.2009-09-10Indoor photo in a bright white-walled room during a house visit.
