Close photograph in warm, low light of a man with long hair swept back, a red and white tilak on his forehead, and a thick white flower garland around his neck, wearing an orange garment. In the foreground, a man seen from behind in a light grey-white cloth and a rudraksha-style mala holds up a dark object near the garlanded man's face. The garlanded man looks down toward the foreground with a serious expression. Cues are consistent with the page's claim, with long swept-back hair, orange clothing, a garland and a tilak, but appearance alone is not conclusive, so the candidate is marked unsure. Setting appears to be an indoor event with a pale wall behind.

He gazes forward while a man in a light grey button-up shirt, seen from behind with his head partly visible, reaches toward him with his arms extended. A large pale circular backdrop glows behind them. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, orange clothing and a garland; he is the central figure receiving the embrace.2008-06-22June 22 20082008-06-22June 22 20082008-06-22A man in a white shirt faces away from the camera with both arms raised high in an open-palmed gesture toward a seated figure. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi on the forehead, a thick white and red flower garland, and an orange-saffron garment. Behind them a large white rounded backdrop stands before dark red drapery. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, an orange garment and a garland, cues consistent with the a person appearance candidate, but the identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2008-06-22A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-red robe wearing a thick white flower garland with red rudraksha-style beads, seated in front of a white curved backdrop. A man in a white-and-brown striped shirt raises his hand over the seated man's head in a blessing gesture, while a woman with dark hair and a silver hair ornament, dressed in white with a gold-bordered cloth, sits in the foreground with her back to the camera. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long, swept-back hair, an orange robe and a ceremonial garland, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at a darshan session.2008-06-22
