A photograph inside a large hall with a corrugated metal roof and steel beams, with a crowd seated on chairs in the background. In the foreground a man with long swept-back dark hair wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange garment with a red-orange cloth draped over his shoulder places his right hand on the head of a young man in a yellow shirt with a red rudraksha mala and a name badge. The young man bows his head with hands clasped. Other people in white, yellow and red clothing stand nearby, and an elderly man in white with a yellow shawl appears at the left edge. The man in saffron has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, a compatible presentation for the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable appearance-based candidate performing a blessing on a devotee.

In the foreground, a man with long dark hair tied back wears a sleeveless saffron-orange garment and touches the shoulder of a young boy in a yellow shirt and red rudraksha mala who smiles and raises a hand to his own neck. Behind them, several women in white and cream saris, one in a red-and-black sari with a red bindi, stand among a crowd of seated devotees. The scene suggests a darshan moment. Swamiji (probable): the man in saffron with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala is a probable candidate for Swamiji, shown giving blessings to the boy. A small logo appears in the upper left corner.2010-02-14A photograph inside a covered hall with a wooden beamed ceiling and white walls.

Behind them a blurred man in white with a shaved head and tilak sits near a red cloth backdrop, with a wall air conditioner visible at right and haze in the air. The seated figure's distinctive hair, earrings, mala and saffron garment are cues consistent with a person, seen in the blessing role, though the face is not clearly distinct enough to be certain.2012-07-07November 22 20092009-11-22November 22 20092009-11-22December 06 20112011-12-06A photograph of a blessing at an indoor evening event. A man in orange robes with long dark hair pulled back places his right hand on the crown of a man in a white shirt, whose eyes are closed and palms are pressed together at his forehead. A woman with hair tied back in a white top and a second man in a striped white shirt with folded hands stand close by, with a crowd and bright stage lights behind them. The robed figure has a long bare arm and an orange cloth, and appears to be Swamiji (probable) based on the orange robes and long hair, while the blessing is given to a devotee.2010-02-14
