A seated man in an orange-and-gold garment with a thick gold-toned beaded necklace and swept-back hair gestures with an open hand toward a shaven-headed man in white who kneels with palms joined in namaskar, an orange shawl draped over his shoulders. A woman in white with an orange shawl, rudraksha mala and a tilak sits nearby, looking on. Behind them other people in white and orange stand near a red curtain, a golden decorative frame and an electric fan. The scene looks like a satsang with a visiting devotee greeting the guru. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man in orange, identified by his orange-and-gold clothing, long swept-back hair and ornate gold necklace.

A seated person in a saffron-orange garment with a rudraksha mala and a heavy gold necklace places a palm on the forehead of a bald man in white kurta with a red-and-black sacred shawl, who stands with hands folded in namaste. Behind them a woman in white sari with rudraksha mala and bindi sits on a white cloth, and other devotees in white with red shawls are seated in a room with red drapes, a brass lamp and a fan. Appearance-based candidate: the seated figure in saffron with long hair and gold necklace is a person, giving blessing to a devotee in a ritual of initiation or blessing.2015-05-09A seated person in an orange-and-gold robe with a large rudraksha-style bead necklace places a hand on the forehead of an older man in a white shirt and orange shawl, who stands with palms pressed together in a respectful greeting. A woman in white with a red bindi watches in the background, and a brass lamp stand and red drapes frame the room. The older man wears a wristwatch, and a red-and-blue wrist band is visible on the seated person. The scene reads as a blessing given by a devotee-facing teacher. The seated person has long swept-back dark hair and distinctive adornments, which fits a person identification but the appearance cues are only partially clear.2015-07-19July 17 20152015-07-17July 10 20132013-07-10A photograph of a ritual blessing inside a temple-like hall with gold-toned shrine ornaments at left.

Green potted plants and a white fan stand behind them, and women in white clothes with gold bangles are partly visible at the right edge. The seated figure appears to be the presenter Swamiji (probable), identified by the saffron clothing, long swept-back hair and ornate gold-and-rudraksha necklace, and is shown as in person.2015-03-02July 19 20152015-07-19A photograph of a satsang setting. In the foreground, a man in a saffron-orange wrap with a thick brown rudraksha-style mala and gold beads sits facing right, his hair tied in a bun, extending his hands toward a younger man. That younger man, in a white kurta and orange-red patterned shawl, has his palms pressed together in namaskar and holds a folded paper. Behind them, a woman in a white top and red shawl sits, and to the right a woman in a red shawl and red bindi watches. Potted green plants, a gold-coloured panel on the left and a maroon cloth draped over a seat frame the scene, with other devotees in red and white in the background. The seated figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference only partially, with mala and gold-bead cues but no clearly distinctive crown or swept hair, so identity is uncertain.2015-03-02 +1 copiesSeptember 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copies
