A seated person in orange robes and a leopard-print shawl holds a long, tarnished silver-toned ceremonial blade or sword up to the forehead, with a red tilak mark visible. The blade is wrapped at the base with red and gold shimmering cloth, and a gold chain and rudraksha-style beads adorn the shawl. Eyes are lowered in a reverent gesture. A faint bird logo appears in the upper left corner and a copyright line is in the lower right.

A man seated in an indoor room with pale walls and a window behind him holds a long curved metal blade-like object upright with one hand while his other hand is raised to his lips, eyes lowered. He wears orange draped cloth, a leopard-print shawl, multiple rudraksha mala strands and a gold chain with a round gold pendant, plus white horizontal tilak and a red dot on his forehead. Red fruits sit at the lower left edge. A second person in orange clothing stands blurred at the right. Behind him a person figure with rudraksha malas, ornate gold chain and orange garments is shown, with the scene matching a satsang-era event.2013-03-04March 04 20132013-03-04Close photograph of a woman in an orange sari and a dark-patterned blouse holding up a large curved, tarnished metal blade with a red mark on it. A red cloth with gold tinsel is wrapped around the blade's base, and the blade rests on a metal stand. Her face is turned away and partly hidden by her raised arm. Another person's hand appears at the right edge, and blurred figures stand in the background. The setting appears to be a ritual or devotional gathering.2013-03-04A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, wearing a dense multi-strand rudraksha mala and small gold hoop earrings. He sits on a red upholstered seat beside a golden ornamental pillar, holding a curved, weathered blade with a red and blue handle while looking down at it. Behind him a large printed banner shows a stylised face with a dark mark on the forehead and wide teeth, with a faint purple logo in the upper left corner. The appearance of the seated man is consistent with a person, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, but the image is too uncertain to confirm, so the a person value is unsure. He is the only physical person visible.2012-07-05December 14 20142014-12-14A seated man in an orange-saffron garment with leopard-print lining and gold-edged border reads a sheet of lined paper held in his right hand. He wears a long rudraksha mala with gold beads and a white horizontal band across his forehead, with hair tied up at the back. A green ornate pillar with hanging bells stands behind him against a dark backdrop.2013-03-04August 24 20122012-08-24December 09 20152015-12-09A photograph of a man seated before a dark backdrop with orange flame-like shapes. He has long dark hair, a white horizontal forehead marking with a red dot, and a small gold hoop earring. He wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders, multiple rudraksha malas, and gold ceremonial necklaces and pendants, with gold armlets. He holds a long curved metal blade or staff in his left hand. Behind him is a red tiger-striped velvet chair. Appearance-based label: a person, in person, seated and holding a ceremonial curved implement.2012-09-15A bare-chested man with long dark hair stands before a gold-tinted backdrop, holding a large silver trident (trishula) upright with a rope wrapped around its shaft and a small red stone set in the central prong. He wears a leopard-print wrap, rudraksha mala beads across his chest, and rudraksha bands on both upper arms, with a red tilak on his forehead. The trident-and-rudraksha adornments and long hair are consistent with a Shiva-themed presentation; this appearance-based label is probable Swamiji, shown in person holding the trident in a ceremonial setting.2012-04-21May 09 20142014-05-09July 05 20122012-07-05
