Night outdoor darshan at a large open-air venue with bright floodlights and a dense crowd of devotees seated and standing behind red plastic chairs. In the foreground, a figure in an orange turban and orange sleeveless robe, wearing a long white flower garland with yellow fruits, reaches out to bless a baby held by a man in a white shirt; a woman in a white sari with a black-beaded necklace stands nearby and another man in a white shirt is beside them. Banana plants and a large banner with a portrait are visible in the background. The orange-clad figure is shown from behind, with the face not visible, so no identification is made.2010-02-18Evening outdoor darshan at night under electric lights, with a large crowd of mostly white-clad devotees behind a rope barrier. In the foreground a man in an orange turban, orange sleeveless top and white-and-pink flower garland stands at left, touching the forehead of a small girl in an orange top and floral skirt held by a young man in a blue checked shirt. A woman with a white cloth extends a hand toward him. A red tray with objects is visible at left. Palm trees and a banana plant appear in the background.2010-02-18Outdoor evening gathering with a crowd of men in white and yellow shirts behind a seated figure in an orange turban and orange sleeveless garment with long, loose dark hair. The seated figure, who has a person appearance with long swept-back hair, orange turban and orange robes, extends both hands in blessing over the bowed head of a young man in a white shirt. Beside him a young attendant in orange stands. A woman in white with a rudraksha-style necklace and a girl with a flower in her hair watch at left. Plastic chairs, a white cooler and a red cloth are visible in the background.2008-05-10Night-time outdoor gathering with a crowd of devotees. In the foreground, a figure seen from behind wears a saffron-orange turban and sleeveless saffron-orange robe, with long dark hair falling down the back; a man in a light checked shirt with a dark rudraksha-style mala and glasses leans in with his palms raised toward him, holding a small child in a cream dress who claps. Around them, men in white shirts and an orange-scarved man stand among the crowd. At the right edge, a man in orange robes with a red dot on his forehead reaches up, and a tray of flowers and offerings sits near the lower right. The scene has a festive, devotional character.2010-02-17May 10 20082008-05-10A photograph of a blessing scene at an indoor evening event with a crowd seated behind. A figure in a bright orange turban and orange robe, with long dark hair, stands at right and places a hand on the head of a young woman in a red floral print top who bows her head. Beside her a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and a small red mark on his forehead watches, and a young man in orange with a yellow card stands nearby. Seated audience members in white and light clothing fill the background, with chairs and red carpet visible.2008-05-10A photo of a blessing moment in a hall with pale pink walls. In the foreground, a man with long, swept-back dark hair wearing a white sleeveless top extends both hands toward a small child held by a man in a sandy-coloured shirt. A man with a moustache and a white shirt with a visible ID badge stands behind, hands pressed together in namaste, and another devotee in white at left also holds his palms together. The standing figure with long hair appears to be giving a blessing; the appearance cues are partial, so the identity is uncertain. Faces are seen in profile or partly turned, and the scene shows a satsang or darshan gathering.2011-02-05March 23 20082008-03-23A photograph inside a hall with orange-and-multicolour decorated pillars. A man in an orange robe with long swept-back dark hair and a dark rudraksha mala places his right hand on the head of a small toddler held by a woman in a grey embroidered top. A man in a white shirt stands behind, and a shaved-headed attendant in orange robes stands at right, with a silver tray of gold-coloured offerings in the foreground. Several other people in white are visible in the background. Swamiji (probable) — the orange robe, long hair and rudraksha mala match the page's claim, and he is performing a blessing.2010-10-29A crowded indoor hall with white walls and a striped festive banner at the top left. In the foreground, a figure in an orange turban with a green and white floral garland and a pink flower, seen from behind, extends a hand toward a small boy in a light green shirt. Beside the boy, a woman in a green sari with a flower in her hair smiles and holds him, while a man in a white shirt with red rudraksha-style beads bends forward. Other devotees in white clothes stand around, some with garlands, and a bearded man in white and gold chain necklaces leans in. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan line among a large gathering.2007-02-06Night-time photograph of a crowded outdoor darshan. A bare-chested man in an orange wrap and a saffron-orange turban, long curly hair swept back, sits on a flower-decked seat and places his hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt. Garlands of white jasmine lie around him. Beside the boy, a woman in a white top holds a baby wrapped in white. Around them a crowd of devotees in white and orange stands and watches, with a monitor-like white-clad man at right and a man in orange at upper right. Swamiji (probable): the orange-clad figure at centre has long swept-back hair, a saffron turban and an orange wrap, matching the page's Swamiji-at-event note, so this is a probable Swamiji presence.2008-07-27December 18 20112011-12-18
