A long-haired man with a bare chest and a sandalwood-and-vibhuti forehead mark, wearing a rudraksha mala and a thick garland of white flowers with yellow and green accents, stands at right and hands items from an open box toward a smiling man in a maroon shawl who kneels at lower left. A man in an orange cloth and rudraksha beads stands behind the box, and white-clad attendants and a cameraman with a tripod watch in a wood-panelled hall with a white projection screen.2012-09-07A long-haired man in saffron-orange dhoti and wrap with multiple rudraksha malas and a pale ceremonial necklace stands at center, his right arm extended to place a red-orange rudraksha mala over the head of a man in a dark jacket who bends forward. Swamiji (probable) — long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and layered rudraksha malas. Behind him a second man in saffron and gold-bordered wrap stands at right. A man in a grey shirt watches at left, and several people in white and saffron stand in the background of a hall with ceiling lights and a white screen. Ritual items lie on a cloth-covered table at lower right.2012-07-20September 07 20122012-09-07July 20 20122012-07-20 +1 copiesA photograph of a long-haired man in a saffron-orange shawl and bare-chested saffron wrap, wearing a multi-strand rudraksha-style mala and gold necklace, leaning over a red-lidded wooden box or table. He has his hand on the box as a man in a grey shirt bows his head low over the box, touching it with his forehead. Behind them stand a few onlookers in white and saffron, a cameraman with a video camera on a tripod, and a blank white projection screen against wood-panelled walls under a coffered ceiling. The scene suggests a ceremonial gesture of respect at a satsang hall. Swamiji (probable): the standing man has long swept-back hair, an orange shawl, a bare chest and layered beads, which are the cues for the page's claimed identity.2012-07-20September 07 20122012-09-07Indoor photo of a man in orange-saffron cloth, bare-chested with a shawl, long swept-back dark hair and a pale vibhuti mark on the forehead, holding a rudraksha mala up to a man in a white shirt who holds a red fruit and a small packet. He wears a pink-and-white floral garland and a ceremonial gold chain. Behind them, devotees in white dhotis and pink or blue shirts stand watching. Red curtains, a framed picture on the wall and colourful striped hangings frame the hall. The orange-robed man appears to be the probable Swamiji with distinctive long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha and garlands; the figure is presented as a person giving blessings, and the photo shows about eight people.2013-02-27January 28 20132013-01-28October 24 20132013-10-24 +1 copiesA photograph of an indoor hall with pink walls, a fabric-draped ceiling and orange and multicoloured pillar hangings. In the centre, a man with shaved head and red-and-white marks stands in a saffron-orange garment with a red flower garland and white jasmine garland, and a gold-coloured armlet. He smiles while a man in a white shirt and watch presses his palms together before him. A man in an orange dhoti at right holds a red tray of small packets. Several people in white and striped shirts stand in the background, and a framed portrait hangs on the wall at upper left. a person's appearance cues are limited here; the central figure's garments and garlands are ceremonial, but his features and styling are ambiguous, so identity is unsure.2013-02-03June 22 20122012-06-22 +1 copiesOctober 31AFP 20132013-10-31 +1 copies
