Probable Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back dark hair, saffron-orange clothing and heavy gold ceremonial ornaments, the cues for a presiding guru in this archive. Around him, a bald orange-robed devotee stands at left with rudraksha beads, a grey-haired man in white with a raised palm, a man in white with a mustache, and a shaved-headed man in white behind. Blurred onlookers fill a hall with a red curtain behind them.2013-06-17February 22 20132013-02-22January 31 20132013-01-31A photograph of an indoor satsang or ritual gathering at an ashram hall. In the centre-right, a man with long swept-back black hair, a white forehead mark, an orange-saffron shawl and multiple gold necklaces and bangles stands holding a small yellow card. Appearance-based probable candidate for a person, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklaces; he is receiving an offering. In front, an older man in white clothes with a vertical white forehead mark holds a gold ceremonial object with chains and a flower. Other standing men, one in a green shirt and one in a pink striped shirt, watch. Behind is a large framed portrait of a turbaned figure with a vermilion-red background, flowers and a golden lamp stand. A shaven-headed young man in orange robes with a gold necklace stands nearby.2012-09-23A photograph of a ritual blessing in a temple-like hall. A long-haired man in an orange saffron robe with a gold-toned necklace, rudraksha-style beaded malas, and gold armlets places his right hand on the head of a seated, bespectacled older man in a white shirt. The orange-robed figure holds a folded white paper in his left hand and smiles. Behind them, priests in white dhotis and orange garments stand, a decorated altar with a red throne-like seat glows in the background, and a tray of small objects sits at lower right. Swamiji (probable): the long, swept-back hair, saffron robe, ornate gold necklace and beaded malas fit the page's Swamiji attribution, so this is an appearance-based candidate.2012-04-14September 28 20122012-09-28A photograph of a long-haired man in a red sleeveless wrap and multiple rudraksha malas with white beads and a gold pendant, holding a sheet of paper and reading it, with a small red bindi on his forehead. An older man in a white shirt on the left gestures toward him, and a bearded man in orange on the right watches. A silver tray with offerings sits at the bottom of the frame. The setting appears to be a crowded satsang or darshan gathering.2011-02-16A man with long swept-back dark hair, a white vertical tilak and red bindi, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, multiple rudraksha malas, gold ornamental beads, a gold pendant and rudraksha armbands, stands reading from a sheet of white paper with eyes lowered. Around him, devotees with folded hands and outstretched palms gather; an elderly man in white on the left and a young girl in green in the foreground watch closely. A red curtain and a deity image with a crescent ornament appear in the background, in a hall setting. The figure matches several cues of the a person candidate, so this is a probable identification from appearance, not a confirmed one.2012-09-15
