A seated figure in an ornate silver throne with a carved lion-form armrest and leopard-print cushions sits cross-legged on a stage before a microphone stand. He wears a rust-orange turban with a small gold ornament at the forehead, a bare upper torso draped in orange cloth, multiple rudraksha malas across the chest, gold bangles on the upper arms and a gold necklace. His hands rest on his knee and lap in a meditative posture. Behind him a large screen shows a starry teal sky and a tall, brightly lit gopuram temple tower. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long hair under the turban, orange ornate clothing and rudraksha malas, consistent with the page's attribution. A small lower-screen caption is partly visible.

He wears a rust-orange turban with a gold ornament, a rust-orange robe, long rudraksha malas across his chest and wrists, and a gold necklace. Flanking the throne are garlands of yellow and red flowers, orange and gold drapery with round gold studs, and a silver staff with a pot-shaped finial. Swamiji (probable) appears in person: the long swept-back hair, ornate turban, orange robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace match the page's claim, though the appearance is only a probable match. No other people are visible.2017-10-19September 24 20172017-09-24 +1 copiesA smiling bearded man in a red-orange robe and a matching orange turban decorated with gold ornaments sits on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests and a leopard-print cushion. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a gold necklace, and bracelets, holds a silver staff upright in one hand, and raises the other hand in a blessing gesture. A microphone stands before him, and the backdrop is a silver embossed panel with yellow marigold garlands and orange-and-gold decorative drapery. A probable Swamiji appearance is seen in this in-person photograph: long swept-back hair, a crown-like turban, saffron-orange clothing and rudraksha malas, seated on a throne during a talk.2017-10-19A man seated on an ornate silver throne with carved floral and scroll motifs, smiling toward the audience, wearing a rust-red turban with a small silver brooch, a rust-red shawl with gold embroidered borders over a bare chest, a gold necklace, and a rudraksha-style bead bracelet on his wrist. Leopard-print cushions cover the seat. A microphone stands in front of him, and a silver cup and tray sit to his left. The backdrop is a bright cosmic-blue and purple design with lights.2018-05-03 +1 copiesSeptember 24 20172017-09-24 +2 copiesSeptember 23 20172017-09-23 +1 copiesA photograph of a smiling bearded man with long dark hair seated on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions and carved lion-head armrests. He wears a rust-red sannyasi drape over bare shoulders, a gold chain necklace, a red thread on his wrist, and a horizontal white and red forehead mark. He holds a red cloth in his lap. Behind the throne a large screen shows a temple gopuram. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-red sannyasi clothing, seated on a throne; this is an in-person candidate, and the page notes this Navaratri event at Nithyanandeshwara Temple.2017-09-26 +1 copiesSeptember 24 20172017-09-24 +1 copies
