A photograph of a man in saffron-orange robes and a long gold bead necklace seated on a red cushioned seat, smiling as he reaches out to touch a silver trident-shaped staff with a red gem to the forehead of a young man in a white kurta and orange shawl. A golden deity murti and green plants are in the background, with a wooden-slatted wall and a window at left. Only the two men are physically present. The man in saffron wears a long hair style and a rudraksha-style gold bead necklace, a cue consistent with the Swamiji (probable) label, while the young man stands before him with a hand raised in surprise. The setting resembles a darshan or blessing moment.2014-08-01A seated man in an orange-red saffron robe and a long beaded mala with dark-and-gold beads sits on a gilded throne with ornate gold carvings. He holds a folded paper or card, and a second man in a white kurta with an orange-and-brown shawl kneels before him with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them stands a silver trident (trishul) with a gold-toned pendant, a red curtain, and vertical white ribbed panels, with a peacock-feather fan at the left edge. The seated figure may be a person, given his saffron robe, mala and ornate throne, though his appearance is not conclusive.2014-09-01September 09 20122012-09-09July 19 20142014-07-19August 24 20142014-08-24A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a gold ceremonial necklace of beads, an orange-red shawl and a rudraksha mala, sits on a throne with golden lion-head armrests in front of red draperies. He smiles and extends his hands toward a young girl in a white t-shirt with a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a pink hair tie, who kneels before him. A tall silver staff topped with a cylindrical finial stands beside them, and a carved wooden cobra-head staff rests near the throne. A woman in white with a red bindi is partly visible at the right edge. The scene suggests a seated teacher blessing a child during a ceremony.2014-07-24December 06 20102010-12-06May 14 20142014-05-14August 01 20142014-08-01A man seated on an ornate golden throne with carved golden lion-head armrests and a golden back panel, smiling toward the side.

Behind him are dark red drapes and green leafy branches.2014-10-11A man with long dark hair and a white tilak with a red dot on his forehead sits on an ornate gold throne with carved floral scrollwork and a red cushion. He wears an orange saffron wrap over his shoulder and a long string of brown rudraksha beads, with a thin gold necklace and small gold earring. A chair-like gold backdrop frames him against a blue wall. Only one physical person is visible.2012-06-20A photograph in a red-draped hall showing a bare-chested man in a red dhoti-style wrap with a heavy gold-bead necklace and a bun of long dark hair, smiling as he extends his hand in blessing over the head of a young boy. The boy wears a white kurta with an orange-and-red patterned shawl and stands before a gilded ceremonial staff topped with a silver finial and a dark serpent coil. Gold ornaments and a red cloth backdrop frame the scene, with another person partly visible at the right edge.
