A photograph of an indoor gathering where a man in a rust-orange and gold-bordered turban and matching rust-brown dhoti-style garment stands at the centre, bare-armed, with a gold-bordered cloth draped over his shoulder. He wears a heavy gold necklace of ornate pendants strung with brown rudraksha beads and a long red-and-yellow flower garland, and gold earrings. He raises one open hand toward a man in a pink shirt on the left. Beside him a shaven-headed man in saffron-orange robes and a brown rudraksha mala smiles and holds a small red object. Behind them a crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis stands in a bright hall with pink walls and red drapery. A watermarked copyright line appears in the lower right corner, which is not to be transcribed.

In the centre, a man in saffron and orange robes with a matching orange-and-gold turban, a gold-and-rudraksha necklace, rudraksha mala beads and gold armbands holds a small white paper and reaches out to touch the forehead of a devotee with folded hands. Other devotees in white and maroon clothing stand nearby, and a man in white with a yellow-bordered dhoti stands at the right edge. Several more people are visible in the background. Only the centre figure shows distinctive ceremonial cues consistent with the page's reference, so the identity is uncertain and described by role here.2013-07-07May 10 20122012-05-10August 17 20132013-08-17August 02 20132013-08-02May 11 20162016-05-11July 09 20132013-07-09August 16 20132013-08-16Photograph of a smiling man in an orange-brown turban with gold stripes, a dark orange-brown robe, a red and white flower garland and a long gold necklace with rudraksha beads, raising his right hand in greeting as he walks through a hall. A young man in a striped white shirt in the foreground presses his palms together in namaste. Behind them, other people in white and dark clothing stand in a crowd near a red curtain and a decorated shrine-like backdrop. The man in the turban shows distinctive ceremonial adornments and orange robes; the page identifies him as Swamiji, and his appearance is consistent with that, so this is a probable candidate. The photo shows a satsang-style gathering.2013-07-05A photograph of a saffron-robed sannyasi with swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and layered rudraksha mala necklaces with silver pendants, raising one hand in greeting toward a man in white clothes at left. Other saffron-robed monastics stand behind and beside him, one in the background wearing a rudraksha mala, and a bald monk at right. A maroon curtain with yellow and red tassels hangs behind them.

Five people are visible, counting partially visible ones at the edges.2013-01-18
