A close side-profile photograph of a man in an orange saffron turban and orange robe pressing his right thumb to the forehead of an older, grey-haired man in a light checked shirt, while his left hand rests on the older man's shoulder. The younger man appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by his long dark hair swept beneath the saffron turban and his orange sannyasi clothing, performing a blessing or anointing with the older devotee receiving it with bowed head. A blurred indoor background with a second person partly visible behind them.

December 07 20092009-12-07 +1 copiesA night-time photograph of a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange turban and sleeveless saffron-orange garment, with a red tilak on the forehead, placing a hand on the crown of a bald, grey-bearded man in a blue-and-white striped shirt who bows with palms pressed together. Around them stand several onlookers in white and cream shirts, one wearing an orange shawl, with bright coloured lights glowing in the background. A tall, swept-back long hair and ceremonial orange attire are visible, but the person's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the presiding figure is described by role as a giver of blessing.
