June 10 20132013-06-10 +1 copiesA smiling man in an orange-saffron robe with a yellow inner garment and a red bindi on his forehead raises his right hand in greeting while people nearby press palms together in namaste. He wears long swept-back dark hair, layered gold bead necklaces with a brown rudraksha-style mala, gold bangles and a small gold earring. Behind him a red curtain and a golden throne-like seat stand in a hall where a crowd of devotees, some in white, watch. A man on the left wears a white shirt and an orange shawl. The distinctive saffron robe, long hair and ornate gold beads are appearance cues consistent with Swamiji (probable), shown in person greeting devotees at a satsang hall.2013-05-31June 10 20132013-06-10A photograph of a man in an orange-brown saffron robe wearing a thick red flower garland with silver accents and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with rudraksha-style beads, a red bindi on his forehead and gold earrings. He raises one hand in blessing toward a woman in the foreground with her palms pressed together in namaste, and a second hand is visible at lower right. Behind him a crowd of people stands in a bright hall with pink walls and ceiling lights, including a young woman in white with a purple embroidered top and a man in white. A corner of a camera and a woman in pink-and-orange sari are at left. The man's appearance is consistent with the page's Swamiji reference through his saffron robe, long swept-back hair, garland and gold ornaments, though the identity is an appearance-based probable match.2013-05-16A photograph of a satsang hall where a man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and wrap, a heavy gold-beaded rudraksha-style necklace and gold armlets, stands at the right with his right hand extended toward devotees. Swamiji (probable) is shown with long swept-back hair, orange clothing and ornate gold adornments. Devotees in front and beside him, several in white and some with folded hands in anjali, sit or stand before a golden throne and red-draped stage with a deity murti in the background. Several people are partially visible in the foreground, including one in a grey shirt and another in a pink shirt.2013-06-02June 23 20132013-06-23A photograph of a long-haired man in a rust-orange (saffron) dhoti-style wrap with a matching shoulder wrap, wearing a multi-strand rudraksha mala and large gold bead necklace, gold bangles and an upper-arm band, with a red bindi and a small gold earring. He raises one hand in blessing toward a line of devotees in white shirts who have their palms joined in namaskar or folded hands. A camera with a red recording light is in the foreground, and a colourful draped backdrop is behind. Swamiji (probable) appears here by appearance cues: saffron wrap, rudraksha mala, gold necklace and long swept-back hair, shown in the role of a blessing teacher greeting devotees. Five to six visible people are present, including partial figures at the edges.2013-05-15July 02 20132013-07-02June 03 20132013-06-03A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and gold earrings stands at the centre in a rust-orange wrap, wearing a long necklace of large gold beads and a gold bracelet, raising one hand in greeting. Around him, devotees in white and orange garments press their palms together, and a man in an orange wrap with a rudraksha mala stands behind him. Striped pillars with tassels and a draped white canopy frame the hall. The man is a Swamiji (probable) by his long hair, saffron-orange clothing and ornate gold necklace.2013-03-06A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and white tilak, wears a saffron-orange ochre wrap and heavy gold bead necklaces with a rudraksha-style mala, raising one hand in greeting. Behind him an ornate colourful temple shrine with glowing orange lamps. To the left, people in white clothes stand with hands pressed in namaskar, and others in white and dark clothing stand nearby.2013-05-07A photograph of a satsang-style gathering in an indoor hall with maroon drapes behind. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair, gold hoop earrings, a long rudraksha-style gold necklace and ornate gold pendant, and a rust-orange wrap over the shoulder raises his right hand in blessing toward a line of men. Around him, men in white shirts and dhotis stand with palms joined, bowing heads in devotion; one wears a lanyard. A man on the right in a white dhoti with a gold border smiles. Metal crowd barriers and white ropes line the foreground. The central figure matches the appearance of a person, shown in the role of giving blessings to devotees.2013-07-15
