A man seated on an ornate gold throne flanked by golden lion heads, with red and tiger-striped cushions. He wears saffron-orange draped clothing with gold borders, a red-and-gold shawl, a headband of golden beads, a tiered rudraksha mala around his neck and rudraksha bands on his upper arms and wrist, and a small red bindi. He holds a silver-handled staff or fan and has a small clip-on microphone, smiling as he speaks. Behind him a deity figure with a raised sword and ornate gold background panels is visible. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair is not visible, but the saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold adornments fit the page's claim, so this is an appearance-based candidate speaking at a satsang seated on a throne.2012-05-03A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a golden bead necklace, with a white and red tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair, places his right hand on the head of an older bald man in a white checked shirt who bows forward with folded posture. Behind them stand a golden cobra-entwined staff, a silver kalasha-like vessel and gold ornamental carvings, with red drapes and a peacock-feather fan at left. The scene suggests a blessing exchange, with the seated figure matching visible cues of a person presenting a blessing to a devotee.2014-07-27April 14 20122012-04-14June 15 20162016-06-15A seated man in an orange-brown ochre robe with gold border and long swept-back hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and gold pendant necklace, touches the forehead of a bare-chested devotee with a wooden stick, applying white paste. The seated figure sits on a leopard-print cushion before an ornate gold carved wall and a silver throne. The bare-chested devotee wears an orange cloth over his shoulder, a rudraksha mala, a gold bangle, and white tilak stripes on his chest and arms. A third man in a white dhoti and mala sits at the left edge, watching.

He wears an orange-red robe with gold border and a long rudraksha-style beaded mala with gold beads, his palms pressed together in greeting. Two small brass lamps with yellow flowers sit on the red cloth-covered dais in front of him, and a red velvet backdrop hangs behind.

Behind the blessing stands a silver staff with a finial and a peacock-feather fan, beside a golden lion-form armrest.
