The central seated figure wears a sleeveless orange robe, a rudraksha mala, and has long swept-back dark hair; a person candidate, with long hair, orange clothing and rudraksha beads as cues. Around him, a young man in an orange robe and white shirt kneels and sits on the red-draped platform, and a man in white and orange shawl stands behind placing his hand on a seated boy in a striped shirt whose head is bowed. Other devotees stand behind in white and pastel clothes, and a woman in white at right holds a shawl near flowers on the platform.2009-01-03A photograph of a devotional gathering on a green carpet in front of a gilded golden throne decorated with yellow and white flower garlands and a draped gold-and-cream backdrop strung with flower garlands. A man in a saffron/orange robe with a long rudraksha mala sits on the throne, with his bare feet resting on the footstool; he reaches down to touch the head of a child in a pink top seated in a wheelchair. Around them, devotees in white and pastel kurtas, one woman in a pink salwar and a woman in a white top stand and watch, a man in a striped shirt and brown trousers stands at right, and an attendant in saffron stands at far right. The sitter appears as a person by saffron robe, long rudraksha mala and throne setting; the cues are clear but his appearance is not fully certain, so the identification is held with caution. Visible people number about nine.2009-09-13A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a red-orange shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, wearing a long garland of red and orange flowers and a rudraksha-style mala. He has long swept-back hair and a white tilak on his forehead, and holds a wooden staff while a hand rests on the head of a young woman in a wheelchair. She wears a white and yellow floral top, black trousers and a beaded necklace, and a woman in white with a pale border stands beside her. A floral garland of yellow, red and green decorates the throne back, and a pink-toned backdrop of tree trunks fills the stage behind.2009-08-21A seated figure in a saffron-orange dhoti with a long white and red flower garland, gold armband, and sandalwood-marked forehead has a hand raised on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and red shawl, in a doorway. Around them, devotees in saris and white garments stand; saffron-robed attendants with rudraksha malas and white-painted foreheads stand at right, one holding a camera. Marigold garlands drape the doorway above. This appears to be a blessing or padapuja-style reception.2014-06-20January 04 20092009-01-04A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing an orange-red cloth, a red and white flower garland and a long swept-back hairstyle, extending a hand toward a kneeling devotee in an orange shirt and white garland. Behind them a white canopy, a standing fan and a flower-decorated staff are visible. A woman in a white sari with a red bindi and a woman with a red-and-white bindi smile nearby, while a man in white stands in the background. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, garland and saffron-orange clothing are probable cues for a person, shown in a darshan setting.2009-07-07August 21 20092009-08-21Night-time outdoor event under a decorated tent with orange and floral banners and strip lights. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, wearing a marigold and red flower garland, raises a hand in blessing toward a devotee bowing before him. The devotee wears a white shirt and a rudraksha-style mala. Around them a crowd of men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with garlands and beaded necklaces, and a woman in a blue sari with a gold necklace stand watching. A cameraman in white stands behind on the right. The chair is metal-framed with a red cushion. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in saffron robes, orange turban and garland fits the page's described presence, with distinctive saffron clothing, turban and garland cues.2007-01-12A seated man in orange robes and an orange turban, with a green leaf garland and white flower garland, gestures with raised hand toward a young man in white shirt and white dhoti seated on a chair. Several men in white clothing and dark-framed glasses lean in close, one holding the young man's arm and another with hands raised. A crowd stands in the background of a hall, with a colourful rosette badge visible on one man's shirt and a decorated corner display at upper right.2007-02-06A photograph of a blessing at an indoor event with red drapes and a floral backdrop. A bare-chested man in a saffron wrap and red top, seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, raises his hand to touch the forehead of a bowed older man in a white shirt. Nearby, a young man in an orange shawl and white kurta stands beside a priest in white, and a woman in green and a small child in a floral dress look on. Several others crowd behind. Page cues do not confirm the seated man's identity, so the appearance-based identity remains unsure. Garlands and flower arrangements decorate the stage.2009-02-21
