A photograph of a crowd gathered around a seated figure in an orange saffron shawl and orange turban, with long hair and a beard, sitting on the floor. A woman in glasses and a pink top leans forward and reaches toward the seated figure's hand. Around them stand men in white shirts and dhotis, a boy in a blue polo shirt with a tilak on his forehead, a woman in a pale green sari, and a man in a green plaid shirt holding an orange fruit. A red cloth lies beside the seated figure. The page indicates this is a 2003 programme gathering, but no a person candidate is established by the visible cues alone, so the seated figure is described by role and appearance only.A photograph of a bare-chested figure in an orange-saffron turban and ochre cloth seated and placing both hands on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt with a red rudraksha mala. Behind them standing and seated people in white clothes and a woman in a light blue sari watch; floral garlands with pink flowers are visible. Setting is an indoor hall at a darshan session. The turbaned figure has distinctive saffron turban and ornate-appearance cues, so this is a person candidate in person, while the kneeling man is a devotee receiving blessing.2003-04-20April 20 20032003-04-20March 23 20082008-03-23A seated man in saffron-orange clothing with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, gestures with raised fingers while speaking to a group of devotees in a hall. He sits on a white cushioned seat beside a table with books and framed pictures. Around him stand about fifteen people: young men in orange shawls and white kurtas, a man in a pink sweater, a woman in orange with glasses, and a shaved-headed man in white with an orange shawl standing at the right. Fans and folding chairs fill the room, and a patterned banner hangs on the wall behind.2008-03-27April 20 20032003-04-20Night-time outdoor ritual at Adi Kailasa, Bengaluru. A man in orange robes sits on a red cushioned seat wearing a long brown rudraksha mala, holding a shallow plate, while a man in a white dhoti and orange shawl ties or adjusts a cord around an orange cloth held by another robed attendant. A brass vessel with a green leaf sits on a small wooden table at left. Several devotees in white and orange shawls, some holding rudraksha malas, stand behind. The scene resembles a flag-hoisting or ceremonial tying of a sacred cloth.2008-03-26A photograph of a darshan session in a hall with white-clad devotees standing around. In the foreground a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a saffron turban, with white flower garlands on the head and shoulders, bare-chested in the lower frame, gestures with raised right hand toward a standing devotee in white shirt and trousers with a rudraksha mala and a name badge. A kneeling man in white with a rudraksha mala bends forward touching the floor near the seated figure's feet. Behind them a man in white plays a tambourine, and flower petals are scattered on the floor.2003-03-16A scanned-looking vintage photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange turban and bare-chested saffron wrap with a white flower garland, placing a hand on the head of a kneeling man in white shirt and trousers. Behind them a standing man in a white kurta and glasses looks on, and another man in white with a red lanyard and ID badge stands to the right. A woman with hands folded in namaste stands at the left near a barred window, and other people sit in the background. The wrap-clad figure shows the distinctive turban and saffron clothing cues, so the appearance-based candidate is Swamiji (probable), giving a blessing to the devotee during an energy darshan session. Walls are pale lavender with a red curtain.2003-04-20A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron turban and orange robe with a white and pink-green garland, bowed forward with hands resting on a white-draped bed or cot in a hall.

Many men in white clothing crowd the room, with fans, a side table and open doors visible. Rudraksha beads show on the seated figure's chest. The page indicates this is a house visit at a wedding event, but that is not visible in the image.A seated figure in a red-orange robe with a bare upper arm and a red-dotted forehead raises one hand in blessing on a white throne-like chair with a seat cushion draped in a red, blue and gold cloth.

Beside him, a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti presses his palms together in anjali mudra, with a red tilak on his forehead and a gold bangle on his wrist. Behind them is an orange silk drape with a white and yellow-red flower garland, and a partially visible deity image or framed picture at left.
