A seated figure with long dark hair and a long braided rudraksha mala wears saffron-orange robes and sits on a red cushion facing two devotees. A woman in a red-and-brown shawl and a man in a white kurta with a red checked shawl sit in conversation, the man gesturing with his hands. Behind them stand a golden trident staff, plants, red draped cloth, gold and green garlands on a table, and another woman in red in the background. The scene is a warm, dimly lit indoor satsang setting.

Two devotees kneel before him with palms pressed together in namaste: a woman in a white garment with a red-brown shawl, and a man in a white kurta with a red-brown shawl. Behind them stands a golden ornamental backdrop, green foliage, and a maroon draped table holding large gold and green garlands. Several people in rust-red and orange garments stand in the background.2014-12-24December 24 20142014-12-24A photograph of a seated figure with long swept-back dark hair and a bare chest, wearing rust-coloured cloth and a rudraksha mala, facing three devotees across a golden trident-staff. A woman in white with a red shawl sits behind, a woman in a red-brown sari with a beaded necklace stands with hands pressed together, and a man in a white kurta with a red shawl folds his hands in greeting. Behind them, ornate gold necklaces hang on a maroon draped stand beside green plants, and several people in orange-red robes stand in the background. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, rudraksha beads and a bare chest, matching the page's Swamiji reference, so the central figure is a probable Swamiji and is in person.2014-12-24December 24 20142014-12-24A seated figure on a gilded throne with a golden ornamental backrest wears a rust-red saffron cloth and a long rudraksha mala with long swept-back hair, looking toward a man kneeling before him. The kneeling man wears a white dhoti-style garment and a red-and-black checked shawl and glasses, leaning forward with his hands together. Behind them, a woman in a multicolored sari with a red shawl and beaded necklace sits and looks on, and a standing man in white clothing stands near a gold-and-maroon altar draped with gold garlands. Potted green plants and a silver staff with a trident-like top stand beside the throne. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne in red saffron cloth, long hair and rudraksha mala.2014-12-24A photograph of a seated figure with long, swept-back dark hair wearing a maroon-red cloth and a rudraksha mala with ornate gold-toned adornments, sitting in front of a gilded throne-like backrest and a richly decorated altar with layered gold necklaces and red drapery. The figure gestures with an open hand while speaking to a young man in a white t-shirt and red-and-white checked shawl who stands with palms joined in anjali. Another person in white clothing is partly visible at right, and a trident-like staff rests near the altar. Green foliage and a golden canopy fill the background.2014-12-24A photo of a seated man with long dark hair and a brown-red shawl, hands pressed together in namaskar, smiling as he sits on an ornate gold-and-pearl throne. Beside him, a woman in a white blouse and brown shawl sits on the floor and a young woman in an orange-and-cream top leans in, both seated and apparently receiving or offering something in front of the altar. Behind them stands a deity murti draped in a magenta cloth, adorned with layered gold garlands, and a silver staff stands near the throne amid potted plants. The man's appearance, with long swept hair, a brown wrap and distinctive ceremonial setting, is consistent with the page's a person reference, though the face-independent cues are only partly distinctive, so the identity is uncertain. Three people are visible.2014-12-26Indoor satsang scene before a richly decorated deity murti draped with heavy gold necklaces and green and gold textiles.
