Indoor event photo. A figure with long dark hair, wearing a white sleeveless top and a red-and-white flower garland, sits in the foreground handing a small object to a smiling young girl in a light pink top with a lanyard badge.

A woman in white with a white shawl sits beside them, and other people in white and orange clothing stand in the background near potted plants and a lamp. The long-haired man wears a gold chain and a red tilak mark; whether he is the a person is uncertain from appearance alone.2012-04-01A photograph inside a bright white room where a long-haired figure in orange robes sits on an ornate golden-backed throne with red cushions. He leans forward and touches the shoulder of a small girl in a white dress with hair ties, while she bends toward him. Behind her, two women in white saris with yellow shawls stand, one holding a mala of rudraksha beads, and a woman in glasses holds a young child. A wooden tray with flower petals and offerings sits beside the throne, and rose petals are scattered on the cushions. The orange-robed figure is a probable Swamiji by the long hair, saffron clothing and throne setting.2010-01-10A photograph of a ceremony in a decorated hall with floral arrangements of pink, orange and white flowers and a gold-toned backdrop.

A woman in a blue-and-white patterned top bows with folded hands and touches her forehead to the seat's gold base. A shaved-headed man in orange robes stands at the left beside a woman in yellow. The appearance of the figure in orange fits the Swamiji (probable) description, with long swept-back hair, orange robes, a flower garland and a gold necklace.

A woman in a white top with a dark bag stands at left holding out a flower-wrapped item, and an attendant in white stands behind. Another man in orange stands behind the girl holding a tray, and a silver tray with colourful bundles rests on the throne side. The figure in orange with long hair and distinctive saffron robe, seated on the throne, suggests Swamiji (probable).2009-12-24May 10 20142014-05-10A seated man in a pink-red dhoti-style wrap and a rudraksha mala, with a long hair knot at the back of his head, reaches forward to hand a rolled paper to a young girl in a teal top. A small boy in white with a dark mala stands beside her, reaching toward the offering, while a woman in a white sari with a lavender shawl smiles and stands near the children.

A tiger-striped red cushion and a tray of shells sit at the lower left, and an orange cloth lies on the floor. The scene looks like a ritual gift or blessing given during a gathering.2011-11-27December 24 20092009-12-24April 01 20122012-04-01July 14 20132013-07-14
