A photograph of a devotional blessing in a hall. A man in an orange saffron robe, a cream-coloured turban, a long rudraksha-style bead necklace and wrist beads stands in the centre, one hand resting on the head of a bowed man in a white shirt and palms pressed together. He holds a small white card or paper in his other hand. Around them, several men stand with hands folded in prayer, including one in a white shirt and one in a pink shirt, and a young boy in a striped shirt watches. A younger monastic in orange stands at the right edge. Behind them are a red curtain, a projection screen, a small framed picture on the left and a warm light glow. Visibly six people appear in the scene.2012-04-08A photograph of a satsang-style gathering in an indoor hall with a suspended ceiling and recessed lights. A man in an orange turban and orange shawl, with a red bindi, gold necklaces and a gold bangle, raises his right hand in a blessing gesture toward a row of people. In front, a light-haired young man in white kurta and a red thread bracelet presses his palms together with bowed head, and other devotees in white and pastel shirts stand with hands folded in anjali. A bald man in white dhoti on the right is partly visible. The swami-like figure in the centre fits the orange turban and gold ornament cues, so this is a person appearance, though the photo is not certain. Stage lighting and a yellow backdrop glow at the right edge.2011-09-06December 07 20092009-12-07April 08 20122012-04-08December 10 20122012-12-10A figure in an orange-saffron turban decorated with a white floral brooch and gold ornament, wearing an orange shawl over bare shoulders and multiple gold necklaces and a rudraksha-style mala, extends his right hand over the head of a devotee in white clothes with folded hands.

Around him, shaved-headed attendants in white dhotis with red-and-white borders and sandalwood paste markings stand nearby, and a gold ornate shrine or throne is visible in the background against a brown backdrop.
