A photograph taken indoors in a plain white-walled room showing a figure in an orange-saffron turban and orange robe with long dark hair, holding a brass-and-glass ceremonial vessel with a green leaf and white flowers on top, pouring or offering water over the heads of people. A grey-haired man in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style mala bows with palms pressed together and eyes closed, and a younger man in a maroon shirt with a yellow shawl lowers his head beside him. A hand holding a wristwatch is visible at right, and a small pink flower arrangement sits on a wall shelf. The turbaned figure is a person present in person, appearing to bless the devotees during a ritual; the other people are devotees receiving the blessing.

Between them a priest in white dhoti and bare chest holds a brass tray of yellow fruits and offerings, while a man in white shirt and glasses stands at left and a bare-chested man with rudraksha beads wearing a white dhoti sits in front. Several other men in white shirts and white dhotis stand around, and a microphone stand is at lower left. The orange-robed figure at right is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues including long hair, saffron clothing and a garland, but this identification is appearance-based only.2007-01-122003 -Glimpses From Various Programs2003-01-01 +1 copiesFebruary 09 20122012-02-09September 23 20132013-09-23A photograph of a man in white kurta with an orange scarf and rudraksha mala being blessed by a figure in an orange-and-beige beaded turban, bare-chested with a white and pink flower garland and rudraksha bracelets. The blessing figure's hand rests on the man's head while the man holds the blessing hand with his own hands. Behind them are a gold-coloured vessel, white drapery and green potted plants. A woman with dark hair stands at the left edge.2012-12-16A seated figure in an orange-saffron cloth with a white and yellow-red marigold garland and a tilak on the forehead has a hand raised toward a bent-over devotee's head, while another devotee in a white shirt and dark trousers leans in beside a woman in a maroon sari bowing with her hands near his feet. A bearded man in a white kurta and orange shawl stands behind them, and a woman in white looks on from the background. A low white-covered bench holds a bamboo tray of banknotes, a steel tumbler and a gold-tipped walking stick. The setting is an indoor hall with windows, a striped floor mat and a blue-framed table. The seated figure's distinctive long hair and saffron robes are visible cues, but the identity is uncertain from appearance.2006-12-10July 10 20142014-07-10May 18 20122012-05-18September 15 20092009-09-15A photograph of a ceremonial reception in an indoor hall with maroon curtains. A man in a cream-coloured turban with a jewelled ornament and a white dhoti with a gold border wears rudraksha-style red beaded bracelets and a long beaded necklace; he is receiving a garland of white flowers and orange blossoms from a man in a striped shirt at left. A younger man in a saffron/orange robe stands at right, and several onlookers in white shirts and dhotis stand in the background. The turbaned man in white and gold is a candidate for a person on appearance (probable), based on his ornate turban, jewelled adornment and beaded necklaces, but the image is not clear enough to confirm identity.2012-04-09
