Photograph of a devotional gathering on a red-carpeted stage before a golden throne decorated with multicoloured flower garlands and a gold canopy. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a white forehead marking sits at the centre, with a white tiger-skin-like cloth draped behind. Around him, several people in saffron robes with gold borders and beaded necklaces stand close, one bald man in saffron reaching toward the seated figure, while others in white dhotis and shirts, and women in red and orange saris, gather near. A woman on the right wears a gold-toned sari. Blue-lit stone walls and large painted elephant motifs frame the background. Page-indicated a person candidate: the seated figure in orange with a white forehead mark shows some cues but appearance is uncertain, so the identification remains unsure.

A photograph of a ceremonial satsang on a red-carpeted stage in front of a floral garland backdrop of red, yellow and purple flowers. A figure with long dark hair, a white forehead mark, orange clothing and beaded necklaces stands on a gold-and-cream throne, arms folded. Around him, devotees in saffron and orange robes with gold borders and white-clad devotees stand in a line, some with hands folded in namaskar. A man in an orange dhoti and shawl holds a trident-topped staff near the throne, a devotee in white kneels before the throne, and a camera is mounted at the upper right. Swamiji (probable): the figure on the throne has long swept-back hair, orange clothing and beaded necklaces, with his arms folded.2013-03-10March 10 20132013-03-10A photograph of a ceremonial hall during a satsang. A seated figure in the centre wears an orange-saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, and sits on a gold throne (peetha) before a large floral backdrop of marigolds and rose petals. A shaved-headed man in orange robes and a white forehead marking stands in the foreground, while other orange-clad sannyasis stand nearby. Several men in white dhotis and shirts and girls in pink, light blue and white salwar kameez stand in line on a red carpet, some with their hands folded. The seated figure matches the appearance cues of a person (long dark hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala, gold necklace), so this is a probable in-person candidate; the standing sannyasis and devotees are identified by role only.2013-03-10March 10 20132013-03-10March 10 20132013-03-10March 10 20132013-03-10A photograph of a stage event with devotees in saffron and orange-brown robes with gold borders gathered on a red-carpeted platform. A central figure seated on a gold-and-orange throne with a floral garland backdrop wears an orange robe, long hair, a white forehead band and a gold-beaded mala; the figure matches the candidate cues of long hair and ornate saffron clothing, so this is Swamiji (probable). Nearby, a man in a white shirt and light trousers and several women in saffron saris with gold borders, some with rudraksha malas, stand near the throne. Several other attendees in white and blue saris stand at right.2013-03-10March 10 20132013-03-10March 10 20132013-03-10March 10 20132013-03-10March 10 20132013-03-10A photograph of a temple-style ritual in a decorated hall. A large deity murti or sacred image is adorned with a bold garland of marigolds and flowers in red, purple, yellow and green, and a golden crown-like canopy hangs above. A trident stands at the centre. Several priests in saffron-orange dhotis, some bare-chested with gold-bordered wraps, attend the altar, while others in white dhotis with gold borders and white shirts stand nearby. Devotees in white and saffron clothing, including women in saffron saris, stand in a semicircle with hands folded. A video camera is visible at left. Attendants perform the abhishekam or puja at the altar.2013-03-10
