A man in a maroon garment with a long swept-back hairstyle, multiple garlands of white jasmine and red and pink flowers, and orange-beaded arm bands, stands at left and places his hands on the head of a kneeling devotee in white clothes. Another white-clothed person with a long braid kneels with hands folded, and a line of women in white and green saris waits behind. A gold figure and leopard-print cloth sit at the left edge, with flower offerings on a tray in the foreground. Probable Swamiji (wearing the long hair and rudraksha-style garlands of the presumed figure) is performing a blessing; the image is a photo.2016-04-03August 19 20142014-08-19October 09 20162016-10-09August 20 20142014-08-20 +1 copiesA photograph inside a hall with maroon drapes and framed pictures on the walls, showing a devotional puja.

A golden Nandi-like bull figure is in the lower right, and a bare-chested man with a sacred thread and jewelled armlets sits on a maroon cushion receiving worship, with a purple and white flower garland draped over him. Around them stand devotees in white ritual clothes, including a man with a shaved head and white dhoti and a woman in a red sari with hands folded. Brass lamps and a golden decorated deity figure appear at the edges.2016-10-09August 19 20142014-08-19A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne, wearing a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with gold beaded necklaces and rudraksha beads, smiling and extending a hand to a young woman in a white dress who offers a small silver vessel. Behind the throne are garlands of yellow marigolds and red roses and a golden deity murti. Smiling women in white saris and orange-bordered shawls stand nearby, and young men in white shirts with rudraksha malas watch with hands folded. Partial heads of onlookers appear in the foreground.

He is handing an object to a woman in an orange-red sari who reaches toward him with cupped hands; another woman in a white sari with an orange border sits beside him, and a man in white kneels in the foreground.
