A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing an orange-red turban, an orange-red shawl with gold border, and long brown rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. He reaches toward a baby in a blue outfit held by a woman in a white sari with long dark hair who leans in from the right. Another woman is partly visible at the far right edge. Red tiger-stripe fabric covers the throne and a gold-and-red backdrop of drapery is behind. The man appears to be the Swamiji (probable) based on the orange-red turban and saffron-toned robes, rudraksha necklaces and throne setting, though the appearance is not definitive.2015-06-21A seated man in an orange-red turban and orange-red robe with gold trim, wearing layered rudraksha malas, leans forward smiling as he touches the head of a small baby in a blue garment. A woman in a white sari stands beside, holding the infant. Behind them a large gold ornate backrest and red cushions form the setting.

A silver staff with ornate finial stands behind the throne, and a dark red curtain forms the backdrop. a person: the figure has the rudraksha mala and saffron-toned robe cues, so this is an appearance-based label.

Behind him is a golden deity murti and a gold trident-topped pole with a kalasha-like lamp stand. A white vibhuti line marks his forehead. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style gold ornaments, ochre sannyasi clothing and a crown-like throne setting; the appearance cues qualify, so he is the probable Swamiji. The woman holding the infant is a devotee, and the baby wears a white outfit with pink accents.2017-05-08A photograph inside a temple-like hall where a seated man with a tall black turban and rudraksha malas, wearing an ochre-rust saffron robe, smiles and extends his hand toward a baby held by a woman in a red blouse and sari. a person: the seated man in the rust-orange robe, turban and layered rudraksha malas is seated on a throne-like seat draped in leopard-print cloth beside a golden lion sculpture, with an ornate gold relief panel behind.
