A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a gold-bordered shawl and a beaded ceremonial necklace places his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee.

A woman with a tilak sits behind him.2014-01-05A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, a bare chest under a red-orange wrap, and a leopard-print cloth draped over his lap, placing his right hand on the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta with a red-and-white printed shawl. The seated man sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest. The standing man has a pale marking on his forehead and his eyes are lowered. Behind them are gold-decorated deity murti figures, green foliage, orange flowers and a brass staff. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair, a ceremonial wrap and adornments, which matches the Swamiji (probable) candidate, shown here as a blessing or darshan moment.2014-12-26August 26 20142014-08-26A seated figure with a pink and white flower garland and green leaf garland, bare-shouldered in an orange-red wrap, sits on a red throne with gold lion-shaped armrests and applies a white ritual mark or tilak to a standing devotee. The devotee in a white shirt and orange shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaste before a silver staff with a gold base. Background shows a red and gold banner and another person in orange and white. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair, a ceremonial garland and orange-red clothing, matching the page's claim of his presence.2014-05-11A photograph of a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam-style darshan. A man with long dark hair, wearing a rust-orange cloth and a rudraksha mala, touches the forehead of an older white-haired man dressed in white kurta-style clothing. The seated guru's left hand is raised with palm open toward the devotee. Behind him stands a golden lion-headed throne or seat decorated with a peacock-feather fan, and a silver trident-like staff rises beside him. A seated woman in white with a beaded necklace watches, and an older woman in white stands at the upper right near a green and gold decorative object. The setting looks like an ashram hall. Swamiji (probable): the man in orange with long hair, rudraksha mala and peacock-feather ornament is the presiding guru giving blessing.2014-08-26September 11 20142014-09-11A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and a red-brown wrap with dark patterned cloth, smiling and touching the forehead of a kneeling man in white clothes with a red-patterned shawl and folded hands in namaskar. Behind them stands a large deity murti adorned with gold necklaces and garlands, with green foliage, orange flowers and a silver staff nearby. This appears to be a darshan blessing moment. The seated figure has cues consistent with a person with the throne and blessing role, though appearance is partly obscured by the angle.2014-12-26September 28 20142014-09-28December 26 20152015-12-26May 07 20142014-05-07January 14 20142014-01-14March 17 20142014-03-17
