December 23 20072007-12-23A photograph of a seated man draped in a very large garland of mixed flowers, including white, pink, yellow, orange, red and purple blooms with green leaves. He smiles broadly and raises his hands in front of him. A standing man beside him wears white kurta, an orange shawl and a tilak on his forehead, and touches the seated man's shoulder. Behind them, other men in white and orange shawls stand near a peacock-feather fan and a decorated silver ceremonial umbrella with a gold pole. A red cushion rests beside the seated man. The setting appears to be a ceremonial stage. Two to five people are visible.2007-12-23December 23 20072007-12-23December 25 20072007-12-25January 01 20122012-01-01December 27 20072007-12-27Photograph of a seated figure at the centre, heavily garlanded with a thick mass of white, yellow, pink and red flower garlands, smiling and speaking into a microphone on a stand. Around them stand devotees in white clothes with orange saffron shawls. A man on the left holds a tall ornate silver staff, and a man in the centre-right holds a silver trident. Behind them hangs a white and orange canopy with embroidered gold and silver motifs, and a peacock-feather fan is visible. A woman with light hair in a white top stands on the left. Several people sit or stand at the right and bottom edges, with a man with a rudraksha mala on the right. The scene suggests a public speaking event or darshan at an outdoor or semi-covered venue.2007-12-23December 25 20072007-12-25A seated figure in an orange saffron robe and orange shawl sits on a golden throne decorated with large garlands of red, yellow and purple flowers. He wears a long multi-strand gold necklace, red flower garlands and gold bangles, and holds a white trident-topped staff. He smiles with open arms. Two men in white dhotis with gold borders bow at his feet, one placing a hand on the head of a kneeling devotee, while an elderly woman bows low in white clothing among heaps of marigold and rose petals. Golden throne-base carvings and a kalasha-like vessel are visible. The figure's appearance with long swept-back hair, saffron robes, ornate gold necklace and garlands matches the page's Swamiji reference (probable), seated on a peetha in a darshan setting.2012-01-01July 03 20122012-07-03December 23 20072007-12-23December 23 20072007-12-23
