Nearby, a monk in orange with a shaved head and a younger attendant in orange stand behind; a tall attendant in orange holds a tray. Several men in white shirts and a man in a blue shirt, one with palms pressed together in namaskar, sit or stand in front. Rudraksha-style malas, a tray of small offerings and books with blue covers lie on the cloth. a person appears in person: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a dark mala are visible cues, but the identification is appearance-based and uncertain. Dark curtains and a wall fan are in the background.

A photograph of a Sarva Darshan style gathering at an ashram hall. A man in a saffron/orange sleeveless robe with long swept-back hair and a gold necklace stands at center-right, holding out cupped hands containing golden prasad or offerings to a woman in a blue sari with a long braid and gold bangles, who reaches forward to receive them. A man in white with a rudraksha mala and folded hands watches nearby, while a younger man in an orange robe and another in a yellow shawl stand behind. Other devotees in white and orange are partly visible at the left edge and foreground, and a child sits at the bottom. A white-draped table holds fruit, flowers, brass vessels and packets. The saffron-robed figure's cues are long hair, saffron clothing and gold ornaments, matching the page's probable Swamiji presence.2008-03-23A photograph of a healing darshan in an indoor hall with a red curtain backdrop. On the right, a long-haired figure in orange robes and a rudraksha mala extends a hand toward the head of a young man in a light blue shirt who bows forward; a Swamiji (probable) candidate, shown in person, with long swept-back hair and orange clothing with rudraksha beads. Behind him stand a shaven-headed young man in orange shawl with red markings and a young man in red shirt with glasses. To the left, a man in white kurta with orange shawl and rudraksha mala and an older man in white assist, touching the young man's shoulder. A young woman in white with a yellow flower in her hair kneels at lower centre, a small child in red stands at far left, and a folding fan and sound speaker are visible. Literature is spread on a table at lower right.2008-03-23March 23 20082008-03-23March 23 20082008-03-23Photograph of a seated man in saffron robes with long, swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala, holding a large orange-and-yellow bead garland or sweet-like offering in both hands while a devotee in white kneels before him. A standing woman in a white sari with a yellow shawl and mala holds a tray of prasad, and a row of people in white and orange surround the scene. The table beside him displays blue-bordered printed cards, rudraksha beads, brass items and prasad. Red flowers and a red curtain form the background, with a white couch behind the seated figure. The seated man's distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala match the Swamiji candidate cues, so he is described as a probable Swamiji in person.2008-03-23March 24 20082008-03-24Photograph of a crowded indoor darshan with devotees pressing forward. In the centre, a shaved-headed man in orange saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and a wristwatch raises his hand to his mouth while a woman in orange blesses or touches his arm. Around them, men in white shirts and dhotis and a woman in a red sari with gold bangles reach toward the robed figure. A red curtain and a white fan stand in the background. The scene is a sarva darshan with healing and blessings, and the orange-robed figure's appearance does not clearly establish that he is a person.2008-03-26March 27 20082008-03-27March 26 20082008-03-26March 23 20082008-03-23March 22 20082008-03-22March 13 20082008-03-13
