June 13 20132013-06-13Photograph of a ceremonial scene in an indoor hall. A man with long swept-back hair, a bearded face, a saffron-orange robe and a heavy ornate gold necklace with a large gold pendant sits on a gilded throne with red upholstery and receives an offering from a hand held out to him. He wears a bangle and a red thread bracelet, and has tilak markings on his forehead. Around him stand men in white dhotis and white shirts, some with gold-bordered cloths and rudraksha malas, one bare-chested with a dark bead mala. A man in a white shirt stands behind a camera on a tripod at the right, and a white pedestal fan sits in the background beside red curtains.2016-08-05Photograph of a seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe with a gold-toned multi-strand necklace and a large gold pendant, wearing red beaded bracelets and red-beaded ear ornaments. His long dark hair is swept back, with a white horizontal tilak and a red-and-white vertical mark on his forehead. He sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne-like chair, gesturing with raised hands toward a bare-chested man bowing forward with a white sacred thread, whose head is being touched or blessed. Another person's hand holds a white ritual item at the upper left, and orange and yellow decorations appear in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, a ceremonial gold necklace, red beaded adornments and a ritual setting, and is presented as the officiant of the blessing.2017-10-01August 09 20102010-08-09A photograph of a seated satsang moment on a golden throne-style seat before a red drape.

Beside him a shaved-headed man in orange-red robes and a gold necklace sits with a golden lamp stand behind him. On the right a man with hair in a topknot and a white shawl kneels or sits forward in a cream linen garment, facing the seated figure. Another person in white stands at the top right holding hands together and wearing a beaded mala. Brass oil lamps with rooster-shaped tops stand on the floor, and a gold-trimmed altar and dark wooden box appear in the background. A printed copyright caption marks the lower right.2015-10-11July 31 20152015-07-31March 10 20132013-03-10Photograph of an indoor scene in a marble-walled lobby with a wooden door and glass panels. A man seated on a dark chair at left wears a rust-red saffron wrap, a gold-bead necklace, a thin red-and-gold headband and a sandalwood forehead mark, and extends his open hand toward a table draped in orange cloth. A standing man in the centre wears an orange robe and a rudraksha mala. A younger man on the right in a white shirt and white trousers, wearing a gold wristwatch, stands with palms pressed together in greeting and bends toward the seated man. Three people are visible.2012-05-10March 10 20132013-03-10A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with carved floral backrest, wearing a red-orange turban with gold trim, a red-orange robe with gold edging, layered beaded necklaces, a large gold pendant and rudraksha beads, and a bangle on the upper arm. A small red tilak marks the forehead and the eyes are lowered as he smiles. Beside him a second seated figure in red-orange robes and gold necklace sits near a gold pillar and tall gold oil lamp. In the foreground a man in a white dhoti and white head cloth leans forward toward the throne. A woman in white with a brown beaded garland stands at the upper right, and a tall gold staff rises in the centre. Dark red drapery forms the background. The figure on the throne has distinctive long swept-back hair and ceremonial gold and rudraksha adornment, consistent with the page's a person reference, but this is an appearance-based judgement only.2015-08-07May 09 20122012-05-09A ceremonial photo in a bright red and orange tented setting with marigold petals on the red floor. A young man in a red dhoti-style garment bows forward, his head covered by a long orange cloth held over him, while a woman in a dark red sari with a red-and-gold turban and layered gold and bead necklaces smiles and rests a hand on his shoulder. Another man in a white shirt and a rudraksha mala stands behind, and a seated man in saffron robes with a white-and-black bead necklace and a tilak on his forehead extends his hand toward the scene. Several other people in orange and saffron stand in the background.2015-01-13
