January 07 20082008-01-07A photograph of a seated man with a white-and-red flower garland and a white tripundra on his forehead, wearing red robes, gesturing with one hand near a woman in orange and gold-bordered red robes who holds an orange cloth bundle of papers. A standing woman in white with an orange beaded necklace smiles in the background, and a man with a shaved head and gold-bordered garment appears near a window at upper right. The room has red curtains, a white wall-mounted air conditioner and a gold-decorated seat. The man's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm the page's claim, so he is described by role only.2014-04-07A photograph of a darshan scene in a hall with a red curtain backdrop. A seated figure in an orange robe and a multicoloured floral garland sits on a white throne-like chair, with a white cloth draped over its back. The figure is adorned with a long dark braid and holds a small offering. A woman in an orange sari with a flower in her hair stands in front, hands folded and bowing, while a man in a white shirt and a man in a grey shirt stand nearby with palms pressed together. A woman in a yellow shawl stands behind the throne, and a monastic in orange robes stands at the right. A silver tray with fruit, sweets and red sacred threads sits at the right edge, and a crowd of onlookers fills the background. Appearance-based cues on the seated figure (orange robe, floral garland, long hair) are consistent with Swamiji (probable) receiving devotees on the throne.2008-03-26A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a deep red cushioned back, wearing a cream turban with a red tilak on his forehead, a long maroon silk kurta with gold trim and a gold-bordered shawl, and white dhoti. He holds a rudraksha mala in one hand and smiles while a woman kneeling before him, in a white sari with red and orange border, raises her hand toward his hand in a gesture of greeting. Yellow and purple flower garlands hang behind the throne, orange cloth lies on the platform, and a smiling attendant in white and orange stands at the right edge. White cloth covers the stage floor. The seated man is an appearance-based probable candidate for Swamiji, based on the long swept hair, turban, maroon ceremonial robe and rudraksha mala, and he is present in person.2008-01-07January 07 20082008-01-07A seated man in an orange-red dhoti and shawl, with a white forehead mark, a long gold-and-white garland and a gold waist sash, sits on an ornate red and gold throne under a canopy and smiles while a woman in an orange-and-gold sari bends low to touch his feet. Her white-clad companion, and women in orange with rudraksha malas, stand nearby. Before them is a padapuja arrangement of white cloth bundles, a brass lamp, and red and green offerings on a cloth. Palm trees and a metal-roofed pavilion frame the scene.2013-12-26A photograph of a satsang or darshan scene in an indoor hall with white walls and a red curtain backdrop. A person with long swept-back hair and an orange sleeveless robe sits on a white throne-like seat, holding an open book and extending a hand toward a woman in a red sari with white border who presses her palms together. Beside the seat stands a sannyasi in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, and a woman in white with a yellow shawl. A tray in front holds rudraksha beads, sweets and offerings. Seated and standing devotees, some in orange and white, fill the foreground and background, and a man in a white shirt and an orange shawl stands at left. Swamiji (probable) is the person on the throne with long hair, a crown-less orange robe and distinctive long hair.2008-03-26March 26 20082008-03-26A long-haired man with a red bindi sits on an ornate red throne decorated with white, yellow and orange flower garlands. He wears an orange saffron cloth draped over his lap and a large white and yellow marigold garland. A devotee in white clothes leans in from the left, while another in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala holds the orange cloth at right. A carved golden lion-like figure appears at the lower left, and a man in white with a mala stands at the far right edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a bindi, orange saffron clothing and a throne setting, matching the page's Guru Poornima darshan context.2007-07-29March 26 20082008-03-26March 26 20082008-03-26March 26 20082008-03-26
