A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with gold-trimmed borders and a long beaded rudraksha-style necklace reaches forward to touch the forehead of a man with short dark hair. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and is bare-shouldered on one side, and sits in a large brown leather chair. The recipient wears a white shirt and an orange scarf printed with script, with his palms pressed together in a gesture of reverence. Behind them, several people in white and orange garments are seated in a hall, and a woman on the right wears a white forehead mark and saffron-coloured clothing. The seated figure is a probable match for a person based on hair, saffron robes and ornate necklace, though this is uncertain.2015-07-05A photograph of a seated man in an orange-red saffron shawl and white dhoti being blessed at a gathering. A figure in an orange-red and gold-bordered robe, with a long rudraksha-style mala necklace and bare upper arm, places his right hand on the recipient's forehead. The recipient, wearing a white dhoti with gold border and an orange shawl printed with script, raises his right palm in a gesture of receiving. Behind them, seated devotees in saffron and white garments, some wearing beaded malas, fill the hall, and a large screen is visible at the top.

The seated figure has long dark hair tied back and gold earrings and is smiling. Behind them hang red and orange draped fabrics, with flowers at the upper left. Two more people are partly visible in the background, including a woman with a red bindi and a person at the right edge. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable) from the distinctive long hair, rudraksha beads and ceremonial saffron-toned robes, shown giving a blessing to a devotee.2012-07-11A photograph of a seated man in a red-saffron shawl printed with script, wearing a white shirt, having his forehead touched by a robed figure in red-orange and gold garments with a beaded peach-coloured necklace and a purple bead bracelet.

His hands are raised, and a bald man in a white shirt with a red-and-white printed shawl reaches toward his head with his palm extended in a blessing-like gesture. A wristwatch and a plastic water bottle sit nearby. Behind them, seated devotees, one with a white forehead mark and a woman with a red bindi and vibhuti-style marking, appear in a dim hall.
