A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne under a pink-and-yellow canopy at dusk. He has long dark hair, wears a white dhoti with gold border and a white shawl with gold edging, and a beaded necklace. He holds a pink lotus with a small green parrot perched on it and smiles toward the left. The throne is carved gold with a lion-head armrest and is garlanded with white jasmine, red flowers, green leaves and limes. In the foreground are silver trays with fruit and flowers. Behind him a bald man in white and orange sits beside a table, and a woman in yellow sits at the lower left. Lights glow in the background.

October 16 20102010-10-16 +1 copiesJanuary 01 20092009-01-01Photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, in front of a golden bull statue and garlands of yellow, red and purple flowers draped over a teal fabric backdrop. The seated man wears a white dhoti and shawl with a bare upper body, long dark hair, a red tilak, a gold multi-strand necklace and gold armbands, and holds a gold-tipped scepter. In the left foreground a shaven-headed man in an orange robe and gold necklace faces him. Appearance-based candidate: a person, with long swept hair, gold ceremonial necklace and gold-decorated throne as cues; seated as a central figure receiving attention during a satsang-style gathering.2010-11-14A seated man in a white dhoti and white sleeveless top sits on an ornate gilded throne (peetha) with red cushions, eyes closed and hands clasped in his lap, bare feet resting on a gold footstool with a red cushion. He wears a beige turban with a red tilak, layered gold necklaces and a gold pendant. The throne is draped with garlands of yellow marigolds, pink flowers and green leaves, with a green silk cloth at the side. Behind him a large banner shows a smiling face in saffron, and a dark curtain hangs at the left. The scene suggests a stage setting for a satsang talk. Swamiji (probable): long hair, turban, gold necklaces and ceremonial white and saffron-toned dress are visible cues for the seated figure on the throne.2010-10-16October 16 20102010-10-16 +2 copiesA seated man on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions sits centrally on a stage before a painted banyan-forest backdrop.

He wears layered rudraksha malas, a gold chain and a teal-and-gold pendant, with a red bindi on his forehead. His hands rest open in a teaching gesture and a microphone stand is in front of him. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha malas and ornate gold necklace cues on a throne, consistent with the page's discourse context.2011-02-14July 06 20092009-07-06 +3 copiesA man seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, draped in flower garlands of yellow, red, pink and purple marigolds, with green leaves behind him. He wears a beige turban with a red tilak mark, a white dhoti and white cloth draped over his shoulder, and multiple heavy gold necklaces with bead-like pendants. His hands are folded in his lap and his eyes are closed, and one bare foot rests on a red cushioned footstool.

The seated man wears a white turban with a gold band, a pale green embroidered kurta and yellow dhoti-style trousers, and a long gold chain. Behind them, another person in orange robes and a man with a shaved head stand near a vase of orange flowers and water bottles. The seated man's appearance matches the page's a person reference only partly, since the attire is ceremonial but the physical cues are not clearly distinctive, so identity is uncertain. Ritual honouring with water, padapuja-style, is visible.2010-09-02October 16 20102010-10-16November 13 20102010-11-13 +1 copies
