A seated man in a rust-red sannyasi robe and matching red dhoti sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions at an ashram stage event. He has long dark dreadlocked hair, a beard, a red tilak on his forehead and a thin gold necklace; a microphone on a stand is in front of him and a white mug sits on a small wooden side table. Behind him are gold carved panels and a gilded deity figure. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, red-saffron robe and ornate gold setting match the candidate's cues, shown in person on stage.2017-05-01A seated man with a tall dark braided hair crown adorned with a silver crescent moon and small silver ornament, smiling broadly with a red tilak on his forehead. He wears a rust-red shawl over a red robe, layered gold beaded necklaces and rudraksha-style beads, gold bangles, and sits on an ornate gold throne carved with a cobra hood and lion heads. A silver trident stands beside him against a dark backdrop with green foliage at the top. Visible cues include the long swept hair, ornate gold jewellery and red robes, consistent with a person seated in ceremony.2016-03-07March 25 20172017-03-25December 31 20152015-12-31A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a carved golden lion at his side. He wears a rust-orange wrap and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala with tassels, and has long dark hair and white ash markings on his face and arms. He holds a silver trident in his right hand and a small drum in his left. The distinctive long hair, saffron-orange ceremonial clothing, ornate throne and rudraksha-style mala are cues that match the Swamiji (probable) profile, so he is identified as Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne. Behind him is a golden peacock-feather style backrest and a beige panelled wall.2013-12-09August 27 20172017-08-27A smiling man seated on a red velvet throne-like seat before a large ornate gold backdrop, dressed in saffron-orange robes with a bare shoulder, multiple rudraksha mala necklaces with silver beads, wrist and arm rudraksha bands, and a gold necklace. He wears a white vibhuti line on his forehead with a red bindi, and holds a small white object in his hand. Beside him stands a gold lion statue with a microphone stand near its base.

A gold lion figure and a dark red curtain complete the stage.2013-02-18A man seated on an ornate golden throne with leopard-print cushions, speaking into a microphone on a boom stand. He wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulders and bare arms, with rudraksha bracelets on both upper arms and a wrist, and a white horizontal tilak with a central red mark on his forehead. Behind him, gilded carved floral and lotus-like panels and a golden lion head on the right frame the dais. Swamiji (probable): the saffron wrap, rudraksha adornments and long swept-back hair match the page's claim of his presence, though the appearance cues are only partly distinctive. One physical person is visible.2017-09-16 +1 copiesDecember 17 20172017-12-17 +1 copiesApril 23 20172017-04-23 +1 copiesA smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi stands beside a gold-and-brown throne with carved lion-head armrests, raising a tall gold trident in his right hand.
