Photograph of a devotional gathering in an indoor hall. A seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with a canopy, in front of a large red backdrop. Several people in white ritual clothes, some in white shirts and dhotis, one woman in a cream sari with gold border, reach forward with hands extended toward the seated figure, appearing to offer greetings or blessings. Others stand around smiling, including a woman in white on the right and a person with a shawl. Garlands and colourful fabric decorate the pillars.

At right, a woman in orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a gilded carved backrest, facing the group with a small object in her hands. Beside her, a woman in white and a man in orange sit near the throne. Behind them hang black drapes, a tasselled coloured banner and a garland of flowers. Several men in orange and white appear in the background. The page describes a Paduka-Yatra and Ananda Samajam gathering, but the image shows a seated figure on a throne with devotees in white, not an identifiable portrait of a particular person.2007-02-24February 24 20072007-02-24Indoor devotional gathering in a dimly lit hall. A large red-toned portrait banner of a smiling man with long dark hair dominates the back wall, flanked by hanging garlands of orange, yellow and green flowers and tall decorative pillars. A golden ornate throne with a small canopy stands on a raised dais. A figure in saffron-orange robes sits on or beside the throne, with another saffron-clad attendant nearby. Many men in white dhotis and white shirts or kurtas stand around the platform, some with hands raised in greeting or folded, and a few devotees in white head coverings crouch in the foreground. A woman in pink is visible at right. The scene suggests a padukas procession gathering with devotees offering reverence.2007-02-24Indoor photo of a crowded devotional gathering in a hall with a large framed portrait and a gilded throne-like seat draped in red, decorated with a colourful beaded garland hanging at the top right. Devotees in white ritual clothing, several women in white saris with golden borders and one in a turquoise and pink salwar, move toward the raised platform in front. A man in white dhoti and shirt stands at the center, and a camera operator on the left films the scene. Some men wear saffron-orange shawls. No clearly identifiable figure is seated on the throne, so the depiction and in-person presence of a person cannot be confirmed.2007-02-24February 24 20072007-02-24February 24 20072007-02-24February 24 20072007-02-24A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned back and a small canopy above, set before a red and white backdrop. The seated person wears an orange-saffron robe and a red and orange flower garland, with bare feet resting on a white cloth. A seated woman in a blue and pink patterned top and white sari kneels at the throne's base, while a man in white dhoti and shirt stands at left with hands folded, and two women in white and cream saris stand at right, one smiling. A bright red-and-white blurred backdrop and striped garland decorations frame the scene. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing with a garland, which fits the page-hinted Swamiji cues, so this is a probable appearance-based identification in person.2007-02-24
