A photograph of a healing blessing session. A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a sleeveless saffron-orange robe places his hand on the head of an elderly woman in a purple top who bows forward with her palms pressed together. The seated figure's long hair, saffron robe and seated position fit the page's description of a person giving darshan, so he is a probable candidate. Beside him, a bald man in a saffron shawl over white clothes watches, and a robed attendant in orange holds a card. Several women in white and dark clothing sit in the foreground. A digital clock on a red-draped table shows 11:03 and 25 TUE. Books and pamphlets lie on the table at lower right.

Photograph of a healing and blessing session at an indoor hall. A long-haired figure in orange robes sits on a low seat and holds the hands of a seated elderly woman in a lavender sari, who is smiling and leaning forward. Around them, other women in white and grey saris and a man in white with an orange shawl watch closely. Behind, a younger man in orange robes with a red sash and an ID badge stands near a table with a white cloth, and a digital clock displays 11:03. An orange cloth lies across the lap area and a red patterned cloth covers the seat. Visible people include about six, with more partially visible at the edges.2008-03-25March 23 20082008-03-23Indoor darshan scene at an ashram hall.

Around them, a man in a white shirt with orange shawl and glasses holds up a card, another man in white with folded palms stands at left with gold bracelets, and a man in white wears an orange shawl and rudraksha mala behind. Printed leaflets and booklets lie on a table at lower right, a pedestal fan is visible at top left, and a couple of onlookers sit at the bottom edge.2008-03-24March 12 20082008-03-12March 23 20082008-03-23March 25 20082008-03-25March 13 20082008-03-13A photograph of a seated figure in long dark wavy hair and an orange saffron robe with a wooden staff leaning against the seat, receiving a devotee who bows forward with hands raised at the front of the seat. Behind them a standing man in white with an orange shawl and a bald-headed man in white with an orange shawl stand by, and a white-clad figure in an orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands at the top. A tray of offerings sits on the white-covered seat, and at lower left two women in white and orange shawls watch, one holding a card. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron robes, a satsang-style darshan with a devotee bowing.2008-03-22Indoor photo of a healing darshan. A long-haired figure in orange robes and an orange shawl sits on a white-draped seat, placing a hand on the head of a man in white who bows with palms pressed together. Behind them a standing man in white wears an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala. A young man in white and orange shawl holds a small card near the kneeling man's head, while another in orange stands nearby. Older women in white saris kneel in the foreground. Trays of offerings, a trident on the right wall and a red flower arrangement sit behind. Swamiji (probable) is the long-haired seated figure in orange, giving blessing; cues are long swept-back hair, orange robes and rudraksha mala.2008-03-22A seated man in saffron with long dark swept-back hair, a crown-less head with a tilak mark, and a saffron-and-gold shawl places his right hand on the head of an elderly woman with grey hair in a bun, wearing a maroon blouse and a yellow-gold sari, who sits with palms pressed together in prayer. Behind them, a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and a shaven-headed young monk in saffron stand by a white-draped table with framed photos, a small deity image and offerings. Another man in white with a rudraksha mala stands at left, and a white stand and maroon curtain fill the background. The scene suggests a blessing or healing at a ritual setting. Swamiji (probable) is recognised by the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and the blessing gesture, with the seated saffron figure as the presiding candidate.2008-03-04March 12 20082008-03-12March 13 20082008-03-13
