A seated figure in an orange saffron turban and orange robes sits on an ornate cream upholstered throne with carved black wooden arms, wearing a long green leafy garland with red flowers. He rests one hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and dark trousers whose palms are pressed together in namaskar. A second man in orange clothing stands at the left edge, and a white-clad figure is partly visible on the far left. Behind is a painted backdrop of large green banyan-like trees. A metal tray of fruit sits at the right. The figure matches the Swamiji cues of orange turban and saffron robes, with the page citing him at this event, so this is a probable in-person depiction of Swamiji giving blessings.2010-08-07August 07 20102010-08-07A photograph of a man seated in a chair wearing an orange turban and orange robe, with a red tilak mark on his forehead and long dark hair falling behind his shoulders.

He sits in a black carved wooden chair in front of a painted backdrop of green foliage and branches. A man in a white shirt with a wooden bead necklace leans in close to him, hand on his shoulder, as if embracing or greeting him. The seated figure appears to be the probable Swamiji by his orange turban, orange robe and long hair, while the standing man is a devotee in white. Overall the scene is a warm reception or darshan moment.2010-08-07August 07 20102010-08-07Photograph of a seated man in an orange turban and orange-and-gold robe, with a red and white flower garland and a gold-coloured necklace, being touched on the forehead by a kneeling man in a white shirt whose palms are pressed together in namaskar. The seated figure's hair is long and swept back, and he sits on a cream upholstered chair draped with a tiger-stripe cloth. Behind them are string lights of red and pink bokeh, orange drapes and floral arrangements. A red tray with offerings sits at lower left. Two physical people are visible. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a saffron turban, saffron robe with gold border, ceremonial garland and long swept-back hair, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, presented as a padapuja-style blessing; the kneeling devotee is a person in white.2012-03-30A photograph of a seated man in an orange turban, orange shawl and red and yellow marigold garland placing his right hand on the head of a man in a white shirt, who faces away from the camera.
