A seated figure on a red and gold throne, bare-chested with a saffron-brown shawl and long dark hair, receives attention from kneeling and standing attendants. Monks in orange robes, some bald, kneel and walk around the platform, while women in orange saris and gold-bordered garments stand to the right. A white ornate parasol hangs above the throne. A red and orange patterned rug covers the stage floor, and a sign on the stage edge reads MAINTAIN SILENCE.2013-07-22A photograph of a seated figure on a tan upholstered throne-style chair with dark blue carved trim, in front of a large orange backdrop. The seated person wears orange robes, an orange head wrap, and a long dark rudraksha mala, with a microphone on a stand beside the chair. Behind, a large printed portrait shows a smiling man with an orange turban and a red tilak on his forehead, and the backdrop carries large red and yellow Tamil lettering. A small vase of orange flowers and a water bottle sit on a white stand at left. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and turban, seated on a throne during a talk; the appearance cues are consistent but not fully distinctive, so the match is probable.2010-08-19A seated man in orange robes with a matching orange turban, a bead mala around his neck and a long braid over his shoulder, sits in an ornate brown upholstered chair with carved blue-grey trim on a stage. A microphone stand stands beside him, a small vase of orange flowers and a water bottle rest on a table, and an enlarged printed portrait behind him shows a smiling man in an orange turban with a red tilak. Red and yellow Tamil lettering appears at the right edge. The seated figure has distinctive orange turban, rudraksha mala and braided hair cues, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so he is. Only one physical person is visible.2010-08-19A seated man in saffron robes and an orange turban sits on a white-draped chair on a stage, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a microphone stand before him. Behind him hangs a large banner showing a smiling portrait of a man in a white turban with a red-and-gold background, beside Tamil lettering. A vase of red and yellow flowers stands on a white-draped table to the right, and a podium is at the edge of the frame. The seated man in saffron has long hair and distinctive saffron-and-rudraksha attire, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, which makes this a probable appearance-based candidate.2006-12-14November 25 20062006-11-25 +7 copiesOctober 11 20112011-10-11A seated speaker sits cross-legged on a white cushioned chair on a red-draped stage, speaking into a microphone on a stand.

Behind him a large banner shows a smiling man in an orange turban with a red bindi, beside Tamil-language headline text reading Arogya Yoga. A white floor fan stands at the left edge of the stage. No other people are visible.2006-11-25 +1 copiesA seated man in a rust-brown robe with a long rudraksha mala and gold-trimmed shawl sits on a red-cushioned throne beneath a silver umbrella, being attended during a ritual. Several attendants in saffron and orange robes surround him: one at left in orange pours or sprinkles powder from a cloth onto the throne and feet area, another in a gold-bordered orange sari-style dress holds a brass tray, and a shaved-headed attendant in orange bends near the platform. A gold-edged offering table in front holds small brass vessels. Behind is a large banner showing a smiling face with a red tilak and orange turban, and Tamil script reading 'வாழ்வதற்கே' (Vaazhvatharke). The scene suggests a bhiksha or padapuja offering at a Guru Purnima satsang.2013-07-22November 10 20112011-11-10January 23 20102010-01-23
