He wears a navy lanyard with white lettering and a beaded bracelet on one wrist. The dark red curtain behind suggests a stage or hall setting.

Only two people are visible, and no person is clearly identified as a person by visible cues.2011-12-02September 13 20132013-09-13 +1 copiesA photograph of a shaved-headed? no: a man with long dark curly hair and a beard, wearing a white kurta with a thin chain necklace and beaded bracelet, eyes closed and head bowed as another man in an orange saffron garment places his palm on his forehead.

A man in a green collared shirt with a delegate badge raises both arms and has his forehead touched by a bare-chested figure with long dark hair, a wrapped rust-orange turban and an orange-red shawl, who extends a hand toward him. The man holds a printed card with a small line drawing. Behind them, several people in casual shirts and a woman in an orange top watch, and a woman with hair in a bun is seen from behind at left. The bare-chested figure with long hair and turban is an appearance-based a person candidate, identified by the long hair, orange-red shawl and turban; the darshan setting and the page excerpt support this without confirming identity.2018-01-10A photograph of an initiation moment at an indoor seminar.
