A photograph of an indoor ceremony with several saffron-robed attendants in orange and gold-bordered dhotis wearing gold-beaded orange necklaces. A long-haired seated figure in orange cloth with a bare chest, gold-bead garlands, gold armlets and a white-smeared forehead with a red tilak sits on a silver-framed throne, extending one hand toward a shaved-headed kneeling devotee in orange who joins his palms in namaskar. Another attendant holds a mobile phone aloft. The seated figure matches the appearance cues of a long swept hair, ornate gold ceremonial necklaces and saffron clothing associated with the page's subject, so he is labelled a person and the photo is marked as in person.

Beside him a bald man in orange robes and glasses bends forward with his hand on the seated figure's shoulder. Behind them several people in matching orange robes and rudraksha necklaces stand, one holding a phone. The setting suggests a ritual or satsang. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, and is seated in the central position.2013-03-10Photograph of a seated long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes, ornate gold beaded necklaces, rudraksha-style malas and gold bangles, with white and red forehead markings and a small wired microphone at the cheek, seated on a silver ornate throne-like chair. A shaved-headed devotee in orange, bowing low with palms pressed together, kneels before him. Several orange-robed attendants in matching saffron garments stand behind, wearing gold-beaded malas. The seated figure extends one hand over a bundle of threads.
