A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears a saffron-orange shawl over his body and raises his right hand in blessing while holding a tall gold-tipped staff with an ornate base. He sits on a white-covered seat beside a white plastic chair. Behind him stand several men in white ritual clothes with white head markings and orange cloths, plus a white decorated elephant figure with red and gold trappings at the left. The setting appears to be an open-sided outdoor pavilion with a plain concrete wall.

A seated man in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits on a white-draped chair under a corrugated roof, holding a gold trident aloft in one hand and gesturing with the other. Beside him stands a small gold deity murti in an arched gold frame, with a gold pyramid-shaped kalasha-like object on the floor. Behind him stand several men in white dhotis and white shirts, one in an orange shawl, and a large white-and-red painted bull statue. This appears to be a ritual gathering, with a Swamiji (probable) presiding, identified by the saffron robe, long hair and trident.2007-02-14A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long shawl, with long swept-back hair, wears a rudraksha mala and a red mark on his forehead. He speaks into a microphone on a stand, gesturing with one hand, while sitting in a red carved wooden chair. Behind him a bare-chested man in a white dhoti and shawl stands, and an older woman in a patterned sari and a white-clad man sit at the left edge. Another man in white shirt and dhoti stands at the right. The background is a plain white wall. Swamiji (probable) cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala.2007-01-12A photograph of a seated speaker in orange clothing addressing a gathering at a microphone. The central figure wears an orange garment over bare shoulders, a large white flower garland with green and blue ribbon accents, and rudraksha beads, with long dark hair swept back. Beside him, a young man in white with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala sits with a white forehead mark, and to the left another seated man in white and orange looks down. Behind them, rows of people in white and orange sit before orange drapes, with a tall gold pole and a silver ceremonial staff with a trident-like finial at right. Because the page notes Swamiji at this event, the central figure has distinctive visible cues: long swept-back hair, a flower garland and rudraksha beads, and orange clothing, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate physically present.2007-12-25December 25 20092009-12-25A seated man with long dark wavy hair wears a flowing orange cloth wrap over his shoulders and body and a small red dot on his forehead.

Behind him on a wall display rack are rows of printed booklets and framed portraits. Partially visible at the right edge, two young people in white sit listening. The setting is a plain whitewashed room with a small framed image on the upper left wall.2006-08-16Outdoor photograph under a colourful canopy with palm trees behind.

At left, a bald man with a red tilak and orange robe and gold beads stands beside a gold staff topped with a figure. Someone holds a notebook at right. Several people are visible.

He sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat with hands folded, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Two standing attendants in white dhotis and white shirts hold tall poles of a red canopy with tassels above him. Several seated and standing devotees and a white-clad figure are behind, with parked yellow auto-rickshaws at left. Probable Swamiji (probable) seated as speaker with ceremonial gold necklace, saffron robes and long hair; the event appears to be an outdoor discourse.2005-12-25A man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits before a microphone on a stand, wearing an orange-red robe and a white flower garland with green, white and saffron stripes. Behind him, a man in a white dhoti and orange shawl wears a rudraksha mala, and a silver staff with a finial rises beside a bright orange draped curtain.

Beside the chair stands a silver trident. Behind him, men in white kurtas wear yellow shawls and hold tall wooden staffs, with a pink canopy overhead.

He has a red bindi on his forehead and his right hand is raised palm-up in a gesturing motion. Behind him, a golden ornate throne-like structure and a figure in orange cloth are partly visible, with a dark blue curtain backdrop. A small steel cup, a white box and papers sit on a table to the right, and a second person's curly hair is visible at the left edge. Appearance cues of long swept hair and saffron robes on a stage match the page's a person claim, so this is a person seated in discourse-style posture. Two physical people are visible.2007-02-05
