A photograph of an outdoor evening gathering in which a man with long, swept-back dark curly hair stands in profile before a microphone, wearing a saffron-orange shawl over the shoulder and a gold-toned ceremonial necklace, with a vertical tilak mark on the forehead. Beside him, a woman in an orange sari and orange cap stands near another microphone. Behind them a crowd of men in white kurtas, orange stoles and a checked blue shirt stands watching. Several cues suggest the presentation of a candidate for a person: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace, with the man speaking at a microphone to a gathering.

Photograph of an evening outdoor gathering under a string of pink, yellow and green flower garlands. In the foreground a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red forehead mark wears a saffron-orange shawl and a gold chain, speaking into a microphone on a stand, with his face in profile. Beside him, a person in an orange head wrap and orange garment sits at a second microphone. Behind them a crowd of onlookers stands and sits in the dim evening light; several men wear white kurtas with orange shawls, and one wears a blue checked shirt with a multicoloured stole. The figure's distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and gold necklace are a probable match for a person, shown as an in-person speaker at a satsang-style gathering.2006-05-22Photo of a long-haired man in an orange-red robe with a gold ceremonial necklace, speaking into a black handheld microphone in profile at an outdoor gathering. Seated behind him are many women and some men wearing saffron-orange shawls and orange caps, several smiling or listening attentively. A small white water bottle sits in the lower left foreground. Visible people are the speaker and roughly two dozen seated listeners.

He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange top and a gold-toned bracelet on his wrist, with his head turned in profile. Behind him a smiling man in orange clothing is partly visible, and blurred people sit in the background before a yellow and red banner. The appearance-based label a person fits the long hair, saffron clothing and microphone discourse setting, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2009-12-19A seated man with long, wavy black hair and a pale vertical forehead mark wears a loose saffron-orange shawl and faces right toward a microphone on a metal boom stand. Behind him sit several devotees in orange shawls, including a woman with a red bindi and a man in white with folded hands, and an older woman with grey hair. The setting appears to be an outdoor satsang or discourse gathering.2008-07-03May 24 20062006-05-24A photograph of a satsang at an outdoor evening gathering. A man with long dark swept-back hair, a red bindi and a rudraksha-style gold ceremonial necklace sits cross-legged on a leopard-print cushioned seat, speaking into a microphone on a stand, wearing saffron-orange robes. In the left foreground a person with short dark hair in orange clothing is seen from behind, facing him. Behind them, several people in orange clothing and orange caps sit on steps, and a red and yellow floral decorated canopy hangs above. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated speaker, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robes, gold necklace and bindi; he is a presenter of the discourse. Visible people number roughly six to twenty.2006-05-22May 22 20062006-05-22A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits in profile at a microphone stand, wearing an orange sleeveless garment and a long rudraksha mala draped down his chest, speaking. Behind him is a grey stone platform with carved floral panels, holding silver vessels, a brass lamp, a small tray with fruit and flowers, and white offerings. Two people in white clothes sit at the right edge, one holding a ceremonial item. The orange clothing, long hair and rudraksha mala are cues consistent with Swamiji (probable) addressing the gathering as the speaker.2007-02-16A 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.2006-11-25
