A seated figure in a rust-red turban and matching rust-red and saffron-trimmed robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a large gold arched backrest carved with floral scrollwork. Two gold lion-head armrests flank him, and red velvet cushions with zebra-stripe patterns rest on a tiger-striped platform. He wears a red and white flower garland, a long gold chain with a gold pendant, and a rudraksha-style mala, and he holds his palms raised in a gesture of greeting. A dark red curtain forms the backdrop. Swamiji (probable): long-sleeved saffron-red robes, ceremonial gold necklace and turban cues on the throne.

He sits with palms raised in blessing and smiles with eyes closed. A white and gold marking is visible on his forehead.

One physical person is visible.2015-11-08 +2 copiesOctober 18 20152015-10-18A photograph of a smiling man seated cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a backrest carved with floral scrollwork, flanked by two gold lion-head armrests and tall gold lamp stands. He wears a red-orange turban with a white marking, an orange-red robe with yellow trim, a long gold garland and a gold pendant, and a bracelet on one wrist.

He wears an orange-red turban with a white jewel, orange-red robes with a yellow sash, multiple rudraksha-style beaded malas and a large gold pendant, and gold bangles on his arms. His palms are pressed together in namaste while he sits cross-legged and barefoot, with a microphone stand beside him and red velvet drapes behind. Swamiji (probable): the orange-red turban, ornate gold necklaces and saffron robes with a throne setting match the page's description of Swamiji at a satsang, so the appearance cues are distinctive enough to label him.2015-11-04A seated man in a rust-red turban and rust-red robe with a yellow edge sits on an ornate gold throne carved with scrolled, scale-patterned backrests and two gold lion figures at the sides. He wears a long rudraksha mala, gold armlets and wrist bands, and a gold necklace, with a red bindi on his forehead. His hands rest together in his lap and he is smiling with eyes closed. Behind the throne is a tall brass lamp stand and a dark backdrop. The visible portrait has long hair; the throne suggests a seated teaching or darshan setting. Swamiji (probable): the rust-red turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold ornaments are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event, so this is a candidate seated in person.2016-01-10A smiling person in an orange-saffron turban and orange-brown robes sits centrally on an ornate gilded throne with a golden arched back and two gold lion figures flanking the seat. Red-and-white flower garlands hang over the chest, with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and bangles visible, and the hands are raised in a blessing gesture. Red tiger-striped cushions and a tiger-striped throne base surround the seat, with colourful tassels hanging behind.

The person wears a maroon-red robe with an orange sash, a long rudraksha mala, and a small bindi, smiling and raising one hand in a blessing gesture, with a headset microphone visible. A silver staff rests at the right. The page's a person flag is yes, but the visible cues (turban, saffron-red robe, mala, throne seating) are only partly distinctive, so identity is uncertain; the person is described by role as a seated teacher giving satsang. Red velvet drapes frame the backdrop.2014-11-20A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests draped in red and tiger-striped cushions, a striped tiger-skin rug beneath him.
