A long-haired man in an orange robe sits on a flower-garlanded throne with red cushions, smiling as he extends a hand onto the head of a man in white dress who bows before him. Behind, a woman in orange clothing kneels near a tray of flowers, and at right an older woman in orange and pink sits smiling. Red curtains, white and orange garlands and a small framed picture frame the scene.2006-12-27A photograph of a ceremonial stage decorated with garlands of marigolds, roses and white jasmine, with a gold-embossed throne backdrop. A seated figure in orange robes and a long white flower garland sits on a red-cushioned throne while a person in white kurta reaches up to touch the seated figure's head. Other men in white shirts and trousers and a bald man in orange and white stand around, and a woman in white sari with a beaded necklace stands at the right edge. A white-clad man bows low in the lower foreground. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person, identified by the orange robes, garland and throne, though the face is not clearly visible.2010-10-24December 28 20062006-12-28A photograph of a padapuja-style honouring inside a floral-decorated hall. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange cloth with a red and white garland and a yellow bead necklace sits on a white-draped seat, smiling. A man in white kneels at the lower left, hands joined, bowing toward the seated figure, with a brass plate of marigold garlands and offerings before him. Another man in white bends forward beside him, and a woman in a white sari with a red-bordered blouse stands at right holding a microphone and a book. Garlands of orange marigolds and white jasmine hang on the walls behind, and seated devotees are at the right edge. Given the page's flag, the seated figure has saffron clothing, long swept-back hair and a garland, appearance-based cues for a person, though this is not certain.2005-12-25August 15 20102010-08-15A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes with long swept-back black hair, a white tilak and red bindi on his forehead, seated on an ornate gold-carved throne with red-striped cushions against a green wall. He raises his right hand toward the head of a man in white kurta and dhoti who bows forward with his head lowered. A third man in an orange-trimmed white garment stands at left, and another person in patterned clothing stands at the right edge. Green-leaved white floral decorations hang at the top left. The seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long swept-back hair and saffron robes, presiding in the role of a teacher giving blessings to a devotee.2010-08-08A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits on an orange-cushioned seat, wearing an orange shawl over orange robes and draped in long garlands of white and red flowers.

Behind him stands a white statue of a seated figure in orange robes and an orange turban, also garlanded, beside an ornate gold throne with a red and gold canopy. Brass lamps, a copper vessel, a brass bowl of petals, an open book on a stand, and a tray of bananas and sweets sit on the altar platform. A man in white with an orange shawl stands at the left edge.2010-07-06August 01 20102010-08-01December 30 20072007-12-30
