A seated man in a rust-brown dhoti-style garment with a gold border rests his right hand on the forehead of a shaven-headed boy in an orange sleeveless robe. The seated man, with long hair tied back, rudraksha mala beads and white vibhuti marks, smiles warmly. The boy wears a rudraksha mala, bangle and a white vibhuti mark, eyes closed, palms together in a respectful gesture. Gold ceremonial objects and a dark speaker stand in the background. This appears to be a blessing moment, with the seated man's appearance matching the page's Swamiji cues of long hair, rudraksha beads and a ceremonial setting (probable).

A seated man in a rust-brown robe with gold trim and a long brown mala necklace places his right hand on the forehead of a young boy in an orange sleeveless top with a red lanyard. The boy holds his left palm up in a gesture of receiving. Gold lion-head armrests and a dark chair frame the seated figure, with a large white screen behind. A man's shoulder is partly visible at the right edge. The setting suggests a blessing during an indoor satsang or darshan. The seated figure's distinctive long hair in a bun, brown robe and mala cues make Swamiji a probable candidate, shown in person giving a blessing.2013-12-12December 05 20132013-12-05December 08 20132013-12-08December 16 20132013-12-16May 12 20142014-05-12December 10 20132013-12-10July 24 20142014-07-24May 09 20142014-05-09A photograph of a smiling man in saffron-orange robes with a bare shoulder, wearing a gold necklace, a rudraksha mala and beaded bracelets, with a white tripundra on his forehead and his hair tied in a bun.

Behind them a seated figure in orange robes and an orange turban sits before a golden throne with red velvet cushions, and a gilded deity-like figure appears at the lower centre. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan at an ashram. The man has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, matching the appearance cues for Swamiji (probable), who is the page's subject; he is performing the blessing.2012-10-08May 09 20142014-05-09A photograph of a man with long swept-back dark hair and a red-orange shawl draped over bare shoulders, wearing a brown-beaded rudraksha mala and a gold-ornamented necklace, smiling broadly as he places his right palm on the forehead of a young boy in an orange robe with a dark ponytail.
