A person in white clothes leans forward with hands on the seated figure's head in blessing, while a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style mala raises his palms in a gesture of reverence beside them. A second person in orange sits at the right edge. Appearance-based label: a person, who wears saffron robes, a long flower garland and sits in the central position of honour. The scene suggests a blessing during an ashram gathering.2007-12-23August 29 20092009-08-29December 23 20072007-12-23A photograph on a stage with pink and silver draped curtains and a decorative gold metal panel. A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on the forehead, an orange-saffron robe, gold bangles and a red-and-white flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, smiling. A man with a shaved head in a white shirt and white dhoti bows forward and touches the seated figure's hands, which are clasped with the bowing man's hands. A woman in white stands behind them, and a man in a light checked shirt stands at the right edge. Marigold and rose garlands decorate the throne and a white-draped table. The seated figure matches Swamiji (probable) by long hair, saffron robe and ornate throne, and is seated in the role of the one being honoured; the bowing man is a devotee in white.2009-07-11June 21 20092009-06-21A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears an orange saffron robe and a garland of white jasmine and pink flowers with yellow blossoms.

A white pedestal fan stands near the couch and a microphone stand is visible at right.

A man in white clothes kneels at the left, and a woman in a white sari with a gold border and a flower in her braided hair kneels at the right, both reaching toward him. Pink and white flowers stand in brass vases on either side, with a dark red curtain behind and a microphone on a stand. The page identifies the event as Guru-Puja and the man as Swamiji; by appearance, the seated figure with long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha and gold necklace is a probable match.2009-08-29
