A seated figure in an orange sleeveless robe and draped orange cloth places one palm on the head of a young man in a white shirt, white trousers and a white necklace cord, who has his hands folded in namaskar. Behind them a crowd of onlookers stands and sits under a large open-sided hall with a corrugated roof. Several women in saffron and white saris and men in white shirts watch closely, and a seated devotee in white with folded hands is visible at center. The gesture resembles a blessing or darshan at a gathering.

A photograph inside an ashram hall with orange and red drapes overhead. A man with long, swept-back black hair wearing an orange sleeveless robe sits on a low cushioned seat and places his right palm on the forehead of a young man in a striped blue-and-white shirt, who has his eyes closed and his hands raised in front of him. Beside them, a bald man in a white shirt with an orange vest stands watching. Behind them, a woman in a white sari stands near a tray holding red apples, and other people in white and orange robes are seated on the floor in the background. The setting appears to be a satsang or blessing session.2010-08-19A photograph of a monastic figure in an orange-saffron shawl and shorts-length orange garment, with long dark hair swept back, pressing both hands to the forehead and temples of a man in a white short-sleeved shirt with a small pattern and a wristwatch. The bystanders include two women in white and blue saree-style clothing at left and a woman in a white top at right. The setting is an indoor hall with a corrugated or thatched ceiling, fluorescent lights, a fan, and a speaker on a stand. The orange-clad figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference only loosely, so the identity is left unsure and the figure is described by role as a sannyasi giving a blessing.2009-12-13February 22 20132013-02-22 +1 copiesA photograph of a long-haired figure in orange saffron robes and a red tilak on the forehead placing a hand on the bald head of a man in a white shirt, whose hands are pressed together in anjali. The man bows his head as a blessing is given. Behind them, other people in white and patterned clothing stand and kneel in an orange-walled hall, one woman bending low near the bottom of the frame, with a sign on the wall and a black speaker above. The giver of the blessing has an appearance consistent with the page's a person reference, though identity is uncertain, so it is given as a role: a sannyasi in saffron giving a blessing to a devotee.2011-08-10December 15 20092009-12-15A photograph of a darshan moment at an indoor hall with white walls and red curtains. A man with long swept-back dark hair wears a sleeveless saffron-orange top with a saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and a rudraksha-style plain outfit, placing both hands on the head of a young man in a white shirt who bows forward. A woman in a white sari with a red-patterned border smiles behind him, and a second woman in a traditional sari stands to the right. Fruit and a plate of sweets sit at the lower left. Several people in white and pale clothing stand in the background. The saffron-clad man shows distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and shawl, so the appearance-based candidate is Swamiji (probable) giving blessing to devotees.2010-01-31February 26 20132013-02-26December 24 20082008-12-24July 22 20102010-07-22July 06 20102010-07-06July 11 20122012-07-11A standing man in an orange-saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala of large brown beads and white vibhuti marks on his forehead places his right hand on the crown of a seated man in a white short-sleeved shirt, who leans his head forward with eyes closed.
