A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-orange robe with a long red and white flower garland and a gold-coloured necklace, placing a hand on the forehead of a standing man in a white shirt with an orange shawl, who has his palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, several women in orange and saffron saris and white garments with orange sashes watch, some smiling, and a tray of sweets sits in the lower left. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and is a person by appearance cues: long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha-style garland and gold necklace, performing a blessing for a devotee.2013-05-28A seated figure in an orange-brown robe with long swept-back hair, a red and gold beaded garland and gold bead necklaces places a hand on the head of a balding older man in a white shirt and orange shawl, who stands with palms pressed together in namaste.

Their hair is pulled back into a bun. They press a small white cloth or paper to the forehead of a bald man in a white shirt who bows low before them. Behind is a bank of yellow flowers and green foliage, a trident-like ceremonial staff stands upright, and a woman in a maroon-bordered sari with a rudraksha mala watches. Offerings sit on a tray at the lower left.

The young man holds his hands out in a gesture of receiving. Behind them, a man with a white shirt, grey hair and moustache presses his palms together in prayer, and a woman in an orange sari with a gold border stands in the background. The setting is a white-walled hall with a red carpet and a maroon cushion in the foreground.2013-07-03A photograph of a ceremonial blessing inside a decorated temple setting. A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange robe with a brown rudraksha-style mala places a hand on the forehead of a bare-chested man kneeling with palms pressed together. The kneeling man wears a white dhoti with a gold border and an orange-red shawl. Behind them stands a large gold ornate backrest, and gold necklaces and garlands hang on a deity murti in the background. A second person in white and red stands at right. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired figure in orange robes with a mala and long hair matches the page's claim of Swamiji's presence, so this is an appearance-based candidate.2014-12-28A photograph of a diksha-style blessing in an indoor hall. A man with a shaved head and a tilak mark on his forehead wears a crimson and gold robe, rudraksha mala beads and gold bangles, and reaches forward with his right arm extended, palm open toward the head of a seated devotee. The devotee, in a white shirt with short dark hair, bows forward with his hands raised to his head to receive the blessing. Behind them a seated woman in white with a dark beaded mala watches calmly, and a partially visible man in white sits at the right edge. A brocade-patterned wall and a projection screen stand in the background, and a gold object is visible at the lower left. The blessing figure has a tilak and no clearly distinctive long hair or crown, so identity is uncertain.2014-01-05A seated figure with long dark hair pulled back wears an orange-brown draped garment, a long red bead garland with gold accents, and bangles, and places a hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl who has his palms pressed together in respectful greeting.
