A seated man with long dreadlocked hair, a red-orange robe draped over one shoulder, layered beaded malas and gold necklaces, gold earrings, and red-and-gold bangles touches the forehead of a smiling woman in a white top and pearl earrings who has her hands joined in anjali. Behind him is an ornate gold throne with carved peacock-style detailing. A standing woman in white with a rudraksha mala watches at right, and a brass lamp and a gold deity murti sit in the foreground.2017-07-26A man with long dark dreadlocks and a short beard sits on a gilded golden throne, bare-chested under a rust-orange wrap, adorned with gold bangles, a gold earring, and rudraksha malas. He extends his right arm to touch the forehead of a short-haired woman in a white top and rudraksha necklace, who raises her hands in reverence. Behind them, a camera operator and another person in cream clothing are visible, and gilded carved panels fill the background. The man's appearance with long hair, ornate gold, rudraksha and orange clothing is a probable match to Swamiji, who is blessing a devotee in an ashram setting.2017-07-26July 26 20172017-07-26July 26 20172017-07-26A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with gold trim, wearing a layered gold and beaded necklace, and a bare-chested upper body, smiling and extending his right hand to touch the forehead of a man kneeling before him.

Behind him stands a golden throne with a carved lion-head armrest, a cobra-entwined staff topped with a gold finial, and a peacock-feather fan at left, against deep red draped curtains. The scene reads as a blessing given from a throne.2014-07-25May 14 20142014-05-14July 24 20142014-07-24May 01 20142014-05-01July 06 20142014-07-06September 09 20122012-09-09A seated man with long dreadlocks, a small vertical tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and gold chain, and an orange-saffron shawl over bare shoulders rests his right hand on the bald head of a kneeling man in white clothes and an orange shawl, who has his palms pressed together in anjali and a rudraksha mala. Behind them is a gold-carved wooden throne with leopard-print cushions and a gold deity murti sits at the left edge.
