A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing a white turban, a bright green shawl draped over his shoulders and a long gold bead necklace. He smiles as a young boy in a yellow-and-grey striped shirt reaches toward him and touches his shoulder. A second person in a green shirt stands at left, and a silver tray with fruit sits on a gilded table at right. Behind them, a shrine with golden pillars and a deity murti is visible. The man matches the appearance cues described for Swamiji, with a turban, green shawl and gold necklace, so this is a probable Swamiji seated on a throne and receiving a child's greeting.2010-09-19July 18 20112011-07-18A photograph of a darshan scene on a stage.

Several children crowd nearby, including a boy in orange and a boy in a khaki shirt with his back to the camera. On the right, women in white saris with yellow shawls stand watching. The seated man is an appearance-based candidate but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm; he has short hair and wears no visible crown, mala or ornate jewellery, so his identity is uncertain.2009-12-05A seated person in a green saffron-style shawl and gold beaded necklaces sits on a red velvet throne with gold carved armrests and bolster cushions, smiling while holding a small white card.
