A long-haired man in an orange-brown wrap and layered rudraksha mala with ornate gold beads sits on the throne, hands extended toward a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears a white shirt, white dhoti-style cloth and orange-brown sash, with a rudraksha mala, and presses his palms together to the forehead of the seated figure in a blessing gesture. A cream wall, an air conditioner, a red curtain and a few white-clad people stand in the background, with a small brass tray of offerings at the bottom edge. Appearance-based candidate matches the Swamiji cues of long hair, saffron-orange wrap and ornate gold necklace, so this is a probable in-person presence.2013-05-19July 03 20132013-07-03July 10 20132013-07-10July 27 20142014-07-27A seated man in an orange-brown robe with a long-haired, swept-back style and a rudraksha mala around his neck places both hands on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt and red-orange shawl. The seated figure has a white forehead marking and is smiling. Behind them hang garlands of yellow, white, purple and green flowers and a gold-coloured drape.

In front of him a young man in white clothes with an orange-bordered shawl bows and touches the seated figure's raised hand to his own head.
