At centre, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a heavy gold necklace of ornate beads and a gold chain, and a red-brown kumkum mark on his forehead; his hands are clasped in front of him. Around him stand saffron-clad men wearing rudraksha malas, one with white vibhuti lines on his forehead, and a young boy in white clothes with a tilak and mala. On the left, an elderly man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands with hands folded, and a woman in a dark blouse with glasses stands with hands together. A white cloth covers a seat in the foreground.2012-09-24A photograph of an indoor hall where a long-haired man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe sits on an orange cushioned seat, smiling and extending his hand to a young boy in a green patterned shirt and khaki shorts who holds out his cupped palms. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and shirts stand watching, one in a yellow shawl with a rudraksha mala, another with a shaved head in white with an orange cloth over his shoulder, and a figure in orange robes. A red cloth-draped seat is visible at right and a tented ceiling with decorative panels above.2010-07-07Indoor photograph of a temple or ashram hall with a white tent-style ceiling and colourful striped hanging banners on the pillars.

A standing man in white kurta and dhoti with a rudraksha mala and yellow shawl stands in the centre, while a man in white kurta and orange shawl gestures in conversation.

A man in a white short-sleeved shirt stands at left with palms pressed together in greeting. At centre, a long-haired man in a loose orange-saffron wrap over a red undergarment wears a white and pink jasmine garland and smiles, with a second man beside him in orange robes also holding palms together. A figure at far right wears a bright orange shawl printed with text. A probable Swamiji appearance is present: long swept-back hair, a saffron wrap and a garland, in a receiving role, so the identity is an appearance-based label only.2009-08-08September 20 20152015-09-20February 02 20102010-02-02Indoor photo in a bright hall with large windows showing greenery.
