A seated man in saffron-orange clothing with a bare upper body and a white tilak on his forehead wears multiple rudraksha mala beads and a lower-body wrap. He places his right hand on the forehead of a seated woman in a red and orange sari with a silver bangle, while holding a small stick or applicator to her face. Behind them stands a silver trident-like staff and a gold ornamental object, with orange and white slatted screens and a peacock-feather fan at the left edge. a person cues: saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and a ceremonial setting; this appears to be a blessing or tilak application.2014-09-13A seated man with a pink floral garland, a rudraksha mala and orange-red clothing reaches forward to touch the forehead of a woman in a white blouse and red shawl with a red border. A silver trident-topped staff stands between them, and gold lion-head ornaments rest in the foreground on a blue-carpeted platform. Behind them are a framed colourful painting and a brown leather chair in an indoor hall. The woman's hand is raised toward her head as the blessing is given. The man's appearance (long swept-back hair, garland, rudraksha mala, orange clothing) matches the page's Swamiji reference, so this is probable Swamiji (probable) giving a forehead blessing to a devotee.2014-05-10May 11 20142014-05-11A photograph of a darshan moment in a decorated hall.

Behind them are gold-coloured ornate decorations, potted plants and bamboo, and a woman in a white sari with a red bindi watches on the right.2014-10-12July 20 20122012-07-20A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair, a yellow-orange tilak on the forehead, a red shawl and a red-and-white flower garland, placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in an orange kurta.

Behind him stands a smiling woman in red, and gold lamps and a golden ornamental pillar fill the background. A peacock-feather fan is held at the left.
