A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red turban, orange-and-gold robe and a long pink-and-white flower garland, with a gold bangle on the arm, placing a hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in white clothes, glasses and a beaded necklace who holds a red apple-like fruit in his hands. Behind them a woman in a white sari with a dark beaded necklace and a red-and-white shawl stands holding papers, and other women in white and orange garlands are visible at the right. A gold-coloured throne and red fabric frame the seated figure.2015-08-02July 01 20152015-07-01October 25 20152015-10-25A photograph of a seated figure with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing a deep red-maroon robe and a dense brown rudraksha mala, placing his right palm on the crown of a bald man in a white kurta who bows forward with hands joined in front of his face. Behind them stand deity murti adorned with orange marigold garlands and a kalasha-like decorated structure. On the right, a woman in a red and blue ikat-patterned sari stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, and a few other people are partly visible. The scene reads as a blessing or initiation moment during a programme.2015-12-26April 10 20142014-04-10May 11 20142014-05-11A seated figure in a rust-orange turban, rudraksha necklaces and gold ornaments, with a golden ornate throne and red cloth behind, extends a hand in blessing over the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt with a saffron-orange shawl and folded hands. A woman in orange-brown sari stands behind a gold-trimmed ceremonial backdrop draped with garlands and gold jewellery, and several women and a child in white and orange watch nearby. The setting appears to be a temple-style abhishekam darshan. Swamiji (probable): the seated turbaned figure wears a rust turban, rudraksha malas and gold ornaments on a golden throne.2015-10-24July 17 20152015-07-17April 26 20162016-04-26September 28 20132013-09-28A seated man with long dark hair, a gold tilak on his forehead, yellow and green flower garlands and a red-orange cloth draped over his shoulders reaches up with one hand while placing his other hand on the bald head of a kneeling older man in white clothes and an orange-red shawl. Beside them a gold cobra-head ornament and a silver staff with a curled top stand near the seat. Behind them a woman in white with an orange-red shawl stands near a framed patterned picture. The scene resembles a blessing or initiation with a pada puja style gesture. The man seated with garlands has a distinctive long hair, a shawl and garlands; the appearance matches the page's Swamiji reference, so the probable label applies.2014-05-14A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-orange turban, orange-brown robe and layered gold and beaded necklaces, pressing a hand to the forehead of an elderly man in white kurta and white dhoti who has his hands folded in namaste. The turbaned figure holds a small paper or card in the other hand. Behind them stands a gold-ornamented deity murti draped in garlands, jewellery and a green and pink cloth, with red drapes and a golden throne-like frame. A woman in the background wears a red bindi and a sari. This appears to be a blessing moment during a Kashi Vishwanath Abhishekam event; the turbaned figure has distinctive long hair, a turban and ornate gold jewellery, so an appearance-based candidate is probable Swamiji (probable) receiving or giving the blessing, while the elderly devotee in white is a devotee.2015-10-24
