January 17 20102010-01-17A photograph of two men on a stage in front of a dark blue curtain and a white backdrop. A seated man in an orange robe with long, swept-back black hair and a red tilak on his forehead raises his right hand toward the forehead of an older man in a white shirt and a brown rudraksha mala. The older man kneels or leans forward with his palms pressed together in a gesture of reverence, while the seated man's left hand rests on his knee. Both figures are close together in an intimate blessing moment. The seated man has distinctive long hair and orange saffron clothing, which are the qualifying cues for the probable Swamiji label.A photograph of a stage event with a smiling man in a white turban with a gold border and white ceremonial clothes with a gold-bordered shawl, a red bindi on his forehead, long hair, and gold necklaces, seated at the front and laughing. Behind him stands a younger man in a white shirt holding a rudraksha mala and wearing a white tilak on his forehead. The backdrop has blue and yellow drapery with pink and blue decorative panels.2005-12-09A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits on a white-draped couch against a dark purple curtain. A kneeling man in a white shirt and beaded necklace leans in, pressing his palms to the seated person's forehead in a blessing. White and orange cushions and folded orange towels surround the couch. A small dove-logo emblem is visible at the upper left corner of the image.A photograph of an indoor ritual setting. On the left, a bald, older Western man in a light blue t-shirt and white trousers, wearing a rudraksha mala and a name badge, holds his cupped hands out. On the right, a long-haired man in a pale green embroidered kurta and a white and gold turban, smiling, dips his fingers into a clay pot held by a white-clad priest. Behind them, shaven-headed men in white dhotis and orange-red shawls stand watching, and a man in a yellow shawl is partly visible at the far left edge. The man in the turban has long dark hair and a gold bracelet; his appearance is not clearly distinctive for a probable identification here.2010-09-02A photograph of a large seated audience in a hall with red curtains and white walls. Many people in white clothing sit on mats and cushions, including men with shaved heads and tilak marks on their foreheads, some wearing headphones and lanyards with beaded malas. Women in white and colourful saris sit among them, and a man in orange-yellow clothing sits at the lower left. The crowd fills the frame, facing toward the front of the hall.2010-10-06A photo of a seated man in saffron-orange clothing with a long dark hair knot and a rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder, smiling and raising his right hand palm outward while a bald man in a white t-shirt with a thin dark necklace faces him and raises his palm in response. A dark curtain and a red patterned wall form the backdrop; a red cushion and red striped cloth are visible. The orange-clad seated figure matches Swamiji (probable) by his saffron garment, long hair and rudraksha mala; he is in person, and his greeting exchange with the white-clad devotee is the main action.2011-07-09January 17 20102010-01-17Indoor event photo with a smiling man in a white turban and white robe with gold trim, long dark hair, and a rudraksha mala with a gold ceremonial necklace, holding brown beaded mala strands in both hands. Beside him a young man in a white shirt with a tilak smiles and gestures toward the beads. A smiling woman with light hair in white clothing and a pink-purple shawl stands at left, and a red-haired man in white is at the right edge. A white fan and blue-trimmed stage backdrop are visible behind them.2005-12-09A photograph of a large hall where a seated group meditates with eyes closed, hands resting in their laps. In the front row, a man in white with yellow shawl and rudraksha mala sits at left; a centre man wears a red patterned kurta with a rudraksha mala and pendant; at right a man in white with a rudraksha mala sits with hands folded. Behind them, rows of devotees in white and yellow shawls, some with white headbands, fill the room. Brass oil lamps and small offering plates sit on the white floor cloth. Hanging orange and yellow tassels decorate the ceiling and a large dark screen hangs on the right wall. No person is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance.2010-01-01Four men sit cross-legged in meditation on bare ground covered with grey ash, in an outdoor setting with a black stone pillar, white structure and palm trees behind them. The foremost man wears white clothing, a yellow shawl, a red tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala. The man beside him in white has a grey beard, folded hands and a red tilak, and two more men in white with yellow shawls sit behind them with eyes closed.2010-07-14A smiling man wearing a white turban with a gold border and a red bindi on his forehead sits in the foreground with long hair flowing over a white garment with gold trim. A gold-bordered shawl and ornate gold necklace are visible. Behind him stands a second man in a white shirt holding a long strand of brown rudraksha beads in his hands. A red and blue patterned cloth hangs on the wall behind them, with blue and yellow drapery along the ceiling.
