A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-carved armrests, draped with tiger-skin cloth at its base, wearing a rust-orange robe, a rudraksha mala with golden beads, a white-and-green-and-red flower garland and a smaller ornamental necklace, smiling with an earpiece microphone visible. Two men in white ritual clothes, one with an orange sash, stand in front of him with their backs to the camera, and a third man in white with orange sash appears behind them. Behind the throne stands a gilded deity murti with a tall crown and a golden kalasha-like backdrop. The man on the throne fits Swamiji (probable) on appearance cues of long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate golden necklace, shown seated in a satsang setting.2013-05-13A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion heads, draped in a bright multicolour garland of white, yellow, green and red flowers. He wears a saffron-orange robe, a gold turban, a rudraksha mala with a gold necklace, and a red-orange tilak on his forehead, and he is smiling while touching his ear. A bald priest in white dhoti with an orange and green striped shawl stands at his side, and a second man in white shirt and dhoti with an orange lanyard stands at left. A tiger-skin cloth covers the seat, and a gold-and-colourful background with a painted deity figure is behind them.

He wears a yellow-gold turban, a red bindi, a brown-orange robe, a rudraksha mala and a heavy ceremonial gold necklace with a snake pendant, and a long garland of red, white, yellow and green flowers drapes over his lap and shoulders. He sits cross-legged with bare feet on a striped tiger-skin cloth, a small microphone at his ear, mid-speech with his head turned to one side.
