The devotee holds a small silver vessel and a brass plate, and wears a gold necklace and a white dhoti with a gold border. Behind them, women in white and red stand near green potted plants beside a red backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala. The scene suggests a darshan or padapuja offering.2016-05-06December 17 20062006-12-17September 20 20152015-09-20A photograph in a bright hall with cream walls, red curtains and framed event photos behind.

A long-haired man in an orange-brown robe, wearing a red and yellow bead garland and gold bracelets, sits on a dark red cushioned seat and smiles while extending his hand toward the head of an older man with grey hair and a moustache. The older man wears a white shirt and a red-orange shawl and sits with hands folded. Behind them, seated devotees in orange and white clothing and a woman in a green sari with beaded necklaces watch.

He has long swept-back dark hair and a tilak-like mark on his forehead and is smiling as he places his right hand on the forehead of a shaved-headed man in white ritual clothing with an orange shawl. Behind them, two men in white dhoti and shirt wear orange shawls and lanyards, and a video camera operator is visible at top center. A brass oil lamp, a small potted plant and a dark red draped backdrop are in the setting. The seated man's appearance matches the page's Swamiji reference through several cues (long swept-back hair, ornate gold throne, saffron shawl, bead necklace), so this is a probable Swamiji in an act of blessing a devotee. Five or more people are visible including partially visible figures.2015-07-19
