July 06 20122012-07-06A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned back, wearing an orange-saffron shawl over bare shoulders and a long rudraksha-style bead necklace with a gold-toned ceremonial pendant. He has long swept-back dark hair and a tilak-like mark on his forehead and is smiling as he places his right hand on the forehead of a shaved-headed man in white ritual clothing with an orange shawl. Behind them, two men in white dhoti and shirt wear orange shawls and lanyards, and a video camera operator is visible at top center. A brass oil lamp, a small potted plant and a dark red draped backdrop are in the setting. The seated man's appearance matches the page's Swamiji reference through several cues (long swept-back hair, ornate gold throne, saffron shawl, bead necklace), so this is a probable Swamiji in an act of blessing a devotee. Five or more people are visible including partially visible figures.2015-07-19A seated man in saffron and orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a long ceremonial beaded necklace sits in a brown leather throne-like chair, smiling, with a small white tilak on his forehead and a headset microphone.

A woman in a red top is partly visible at left, and a flower arrangement and a brass vessel sit on a pink cloth in the background.

A gold kalasha-like vessel stands on a red velvet cushion beside them. In the background, a photographer with a camera and several people in orange and white attend a gathering, with a projection screen behind. The seated figure matches the ornate-clothing and long-hair cues of the Swamiji candidate, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) receiving honour from a devotee in an indoor satsang setting.2012-12-16March 13 20132013-03-13A seated figure with hair tied in a bun, wearing a saffron-orange and gold shawl over a bare chest and a long rudraksha mala, places both palms on the forehead of a young man in a white t-shirt who wears a rudraksha mala and bracelets and whose eyes are closed as he receives the blessing.
