A photograph of a seated bearded man in rust-red robes with long swept-back hair and a white tilak on his forehead, on an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cushion, smiling as a kneeling bald devotee in orange robes raises cupped hands before him. A woman in orange sari kneels at right, and attendants in white dhotis with yellow borders and saffron garments stand behind, one holding a silver trident. Behind is a red curtain and an ornate silver-embossed backdrop with a deity murti motif. Probable Swamiji (probable) is the seated central figure, identified by long swept-back hair, rust-red robes, and the throne setting.

A photograph of a ceremony on a stage before a deep red curtain. A young attendant in an orange turban, orange dhoti and rudraksha mala stands at left, bowing slightly while offering a silver plate with white camphor-like offering and a small flame toward a seated man. The seated man wears an orange-red robe and has long dark hair swept back, a beard and white tilak on his forehead, seated on a leopard-print cushioned throne with ornate silver and jewelled carvings behind him. A silver trident stands beside the plate and a brass kalasha-style vessel sits near the throne. The seated figure's hands gesture in blessing. Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne with long hair, orange-red robes and rudraksha-adorned attendant in ceremonial aarti.2018-05-27October 09 20172017-10-09April 14 20182018-04-14 +1 copiesA seated man in a rust-red robe sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne with hands folded in prayer, eyes closed, a white tilak on his forehead and long dark hair falling behind him. A younger attendant in saffron robes and an orange turban stands at left, holding a small white offering on a tray and wearing rudraksha beads. Behind them hang deep red curtains, a silver ornamented backdrop with carved figures, a silver trident-like staff and a brass urn beside the throne, with a brass railing in the foreground. The setting suggests a formal satsang on a dais. The seated man is the central figure and is presented as a person by his throne, long hair and rust-red robe, though appearance alone is not conclusive.2018-05-27A photograph on a stage showing a seated man in a leopard-print throne with ornate silver lion armrests and a silver carved backdrop. He wears a rust-red cloth, a long rudraksha mala, and a forehead tilak, with long hair, and gestures with raised right hand. Two standing attendants in orange cloth with rudraksha malas and white body markings stand to his left; one holds a small white paper or card. A third figure kneels in front with palms joined, bare-chested with white markings, and a small offering plate sits near him. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure matches the presentation cues of long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and a ceremonial throne, so he is described as the seated teacher receiving devotion.2018-04-01April 14 20182018-04-14 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremonial moment on a red-carpeted stage in front of an ornate gold lattice backdrop.
