Behind them stands a deity murti dressed in a heavy garland of yellow, red, orange, green and purple flowers, with a golden crown. A golden animal figure. A younger person in white stands at the right edge. The scene looks like a blessing or anointing moment in an ashram hall.2013-07-21A seated figure with long dark hair and a rust-orange cloth draped over the body raises a golden-orange kalasha-like vessel over the head of a man in white kurta and red-orange shawl, performing an abhishekam-style blessing. Behind them stands a golden deity murti or sacred figure adorned with multicoloured flower garlands in red, yellow, purple and white, beside a golden elephant figure. A woman in white sits near the lower centre, and two young men in white shirts with orange lanyards stand in the background at right. The seated figure's distinctive long hair and orange robe fit the a person presentation, but the appearance cues are not strong enough to confirm identity, so this is an uncertain in-person presence.2013-07-21A seated person in a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti with a leopard-print cloth at the waist wears a long garland of red roses, white flowers and yellow blooms, plus beaded orange-brown bracelets and a rudraksha-style necklace. He places his right hand on the crown of the head of a man in a light checked shirt who kneels before him, holding yellow cloth or fruit in his hands. A gold-framed deity murti with a golden serpent-like form and purple draped fabric stands behind them, with a fan and flower garlands in the background. Some edits are visible across the scene as a ceremonial blessing. Probable Swamiji is shown with long swept-back hair, a tilak mark, a red-and-gold garment and garlands, consistent with an in-person presence.2014-04-13A seated figure with long, swept-back dark hair and a white tilak on the forehead wears an orange-saffron garment with a gold-toned tassel and a bead necklace, smiling as he extends his right hand to press the crown of a kneeling man's head. The kneeling man wears a white kurta with a dark rudraksha-style mala around his neck and has his palms raised in reverence. Behind them is a golden ornate throne decorated with a garland of yellow, red, white and purple flowers. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial beaded necklace match the page's reference to Swamiji, and he is seated in the blessing position. A small ceiling air conditioner and a fan appear in the background.2013-07-02July 15 20132013-07-15A photograph of a blessing moment in front of a decorated deity murti garlanded with marigolds and red and yellow flower strands.

A standing fan and a window are visible at right; an orange cloth lies at lower left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, consistent with the page's claim of his presence.2013-07-03July 04 20132013-07-04May 02 20142014-05-02July 02 20132013-07-02July 02 20132013-07-02
