A young man in white ceremonial dress stands on a stage speaking into a handheld microphone during a programme session. He wears a white turban with a maroon-and-white border, a white dhoti-style garment with a maroon stripe, and an orange shawl draped over his shoulder, with a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him hangs a backdrop of pink panels with large yellow sunflowers, edged in green. In the foreground, two young men in light shirts sit listening, with other heads visible at the edges. No clear identification of the speaker can be made from appearance, so the role is described as a speaker on stage.

A seated man in white clothes with a white turban and an orange shawl sits on a white-draped platform under a tent, in front of a green and pink backdrop painted with yellow sunflowers. In front of him, a row of smiling young men and women in pale striped shirts sit on the ground, with more people behind them. The man's gaze is raised and he appears to be addressing the audience. Two white poles and a canopy frame the scene. The man's appearance is consistent with a presiding teacher, though his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2006-09-16September 17 20062006-09-17A photograph at an outdoor tent event. A smiling man in an orange turban and orange robes sits on a white chair at the right, with long dark hair swept back and a dark object in his hand. Seated on the left and centre are young men in white shirts, several wearing orange shawls over their shoulders, listening attentively. Behind them hang a pink tent backdrop printed with sunflowers and green leaves, and a partially visible man in white stands at the back. The seated man has long swept-back hair, an orange turban and saffron robes, which are compatible cues for a person, though this is an appearance-based label only.2006-09-17A man sits cross-legged on a large white upholstered throne-style chair on a stage, speaking into a microphone on a metal stand. He wears an orange-red turban, an orange-red shawl over his shoulder and bare chest, and a dark rudraksha mala. He has long dark hair falling past his shoulders and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him are a green draped backdrop with red and yellow floral motifs, yellow and gold pillars, a white arch with red flowers, and yellow flower arrangements at the right edge. The setting suggests a satsang discourse.2004-10-06A 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.2007-12-25June 22 20082008-06-22A photograph of a man in profile speaking into a handheld microphone at an indoor event. He wears an orange saffron turban, an orange shawl draped over one shoulder and bare-shouldered beneath, and a long rudraksha mala. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Behind him stands a second man in white clothing with long dark hair, and white draped fabric and a green carpet fill the background along with a standing fan and white chairs. The orange-clothed man has long hair, a turban and a rudraksha mala, cues consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable Swamiji in person, with the second man standing behind and a small partially visible head in the lower left.2006-11-25A man sits and speaks into a handheld microphone during a discourse, wearing a cream turban with a small red bindi, a cream and maroon striped kurta, and a long strand of yellow-green beads around his neck. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Behind him a backdrop of marigolds and white flowers in orange, yellow and blue panels forms a decorated stage, and a white cushion rests beside him. A partially visible man in white stands at the right edge. Candidate by appearance with several cues (long hair, turban, ornate clothing, beads), so this is Swamiji (probable) seated and speaking.2008-08-03September 16 20062006-09-16Photograph taken under a tent at an outdoor programme, with a large green and pink backdrop painted with orange sunflowers and green leaves. In the foreground on a red carpet, a young man in a white cap, white kurta and white dhoti with an orange shawl sits and holds a notebook or paper. Other men in white and light shirts sit or stand nearby, and a black speaker cabinet stands at left. Seated people in the foreground and a standing man in a cream shirt complete the scene. The man in the white cap is a devotee or participant; his appearance does not clearly match a known identity, so no identification is made.2006-09-16A smiling person in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on a large white cushioned throne-style chair under a tent. Dark hair falls behind the shoulders, and a red tilak mark is visible on the forehead. A seated audience of young men in white shirts fills the background, with a pink and green decorated banner and a framed picture above. In the lower right, another person in orange clothing is partly visible. Several people in the audience are in white, and a steel cup sits on a white table at left. Orange robes and turban and throne-style seat suggest a discourse setting; the seated figure matches the presentation cues of Swamiji (probable) on a throne, with a distinctive saffron turban and robes.2006-09-17September 17 20062006-09-17
