A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate brown leather throne, wearing a deep rust-red shawl over a brown garment, with long dark swept-back hair and gold armlets, reaching forward to touch the forehead of a kneeling woman in a white sleeveless top with hands joined in namaste. Around them, several people in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas stand and bend forward, one bald man in orange with a purple-and-pink sash leans in, and white-clad devotees in the background watch and hold papers. The seated figure's cues are the swept-back hair, ornate clothing and ceremonial seating, consistent with a probable Swamiji blessing a devotee in a satsang-style gathering.

A photograph from a seated satsang-style gathering. A long-haired man with a bare upper torso, wearing a rust-red shawl and gold armlets, sits on a tan leather armchair and places his hand on the crown of a kneeling man in a beige button shirt with a lanyard. A woman in white with a brown shawl sits at left. Standing behind, people in saffron and orange robes, one with a rudraksha mala, hold a folded maroon cloth and a white paper. Some devotees' hands are raised in blessing. The long-haired seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair and gold ornaments, consistent with the a person appearance cues, and is in the role of the giver of blessing.2015-12-16October 08 20152015-10-08December 16 20152015-12-16December 28 20142014-12-28December 09 20152015-12-09December 16 20152015-12-16A photograph of a seated man on a brown leather throne-style armchair with carved wooden back, wearing a rust-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala necklace, with a red-brown wrap across his shoulders. He has a red tilak on his forehead and white markings on his face, and his hands rest on his knees as a devotee's hand reaches to touch his feet. Around him, women in white clothes with orange shawls stand and watch, and a woman in a white dress with a dark necklace stands at left. A bare-chested man with rudraksha bracelets is at the right edge, and a brown towel hangs over the chair arm. Several people are visible, including partially visible figures at the edges.2016-02-17July 12 20152015-07-12December 16 20152015-12-16May 24 20152015-05-24May 26 20152015-05-26A photograph of a seated man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a red and white flower garland, and rudraksha malas, seated on a red throne with gold lion-head armrests under a white and red tent. A woman in white with a red-bordered sari kneels before him, touching his hand, while a bare-chested man in orange with a yellow and white bead necklace stands behind. Several women in orange and saffron garments with beaded necklaces, some holding offerings, gather around, and more devotees in white stand in the background. The seated figure appears to be a probable Swamiji candidate based on his long swept-back hair, ornate saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and garland. The scene resembles a devotional puja or padapuja at a festival setting.2016-01-03
