September 15 20092009-09-15May 05 20152015-05-05July 07 20102010-07-07A photograph of a blessing moment in a dimly lit space. A figure in orange saffron robes, with long dark hair and a white, pink and green flower garland, sits with bare upper body draped in orange cloth and places his right palm on the head of a young boy in a blue shirt who bows forward. Beside them a man in a brown checked shirt and glasses kneels with one hand on the boy's shoulder, and a gold ring is visible on his finger. Several people in white clothing stand in the background near a dark doorway. The figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a garland, and is presented as the person giving the blessing.2006-10-21A photograph of an indoor blessing moment. A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with long dark swept-back hair leans forward and holds the hands of a standing man in a light blue-white shirt and dark trousers, who bows his head. A bald man in white robes with an orange-red shawl stands behind and places his hand on the seated figure's head-blessing gesture area. A woman with a braid in a white top and beaded bangles sits at left, and a man in a yellow garment stands behind. Background shows fans and a draped cloth. Appearance is consistent with the a person description; the seated figure carries orange clothing and long hair cues, but the page states no a person presence, so identity is uncertain.2010-07-07A photograph taken indoors in a dim hall with exposed black ceiling beams and a metal scaffold frame at left.

Beside him a man in a white-and-green checked shirt and dark trousers stands with head bowed and eyeglasses. On the right a robed figure in saffron-orange cloth and a matching orange turban with a red tilak mark on the forehead places a hand on the bowed man's head in a blessing gesture. Behind them a woman in a pale top raises her hand to her face. A microphone stand is visible at the right edge.2004-02-25A photograph of a darshan or blessing moment at an indoor event tent. In the foreground a young man in a white-and-pink striped shirt and jeans stands with his head bowed while a woman with long dark curly hair, wearing an orange sleeveless top, places her hand on his forehead and holds an object in her other hand. A man in a plaid shirt stands at the left edge, and an older man with white hair and glasses in a white kurta stands at the upper right, with other white-clad people behind. A person in a white garment with an orange shawl stands at the left.

A standing figure in an orange turban, orange shawl and long dark hair places a hand on the man's forehead. The blessing figure's bare shoulder and upper body are wrapped in orange cloth. Behind them, a man in white clothing and several onlookers in shirts stand near an orange-draped platform and a metal railing in a hall. A red-and-gold tray sits at the right edge. The blessing figure has long swept hair, an orange turban, orange clothing and bare-chested adornment cues, consistent with a person giving a blessing in person; identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2010-07-11December 10 20112011-12-10A seated young man in a grey and white raglan t-shirt and dark trousers sits on a wooden chair with eyes closed while a person in a flowing orange robe with a white and red flower garland kneels before him, holding his hands. Several people in orange robes stand behind, one holding a golden ritual object, and a man in a white striped shirt stands at left. A brass plate with offerings, a steel cup and a red-and-gold box sit on a table draped in orange cloth. A large saffron-clad figure with long dark hair and a garland is the central active figure, distinguishing this as a padapuja-style honouring.2010-01-10A photograph of a darshan-style exchange. A young man in a dark brown striped collared shirt kneels on an orange mat, his hands clasped and extended toward a seated figure in a sleeveless saffron-orange garment with long, dark, wavy hair seen from behind. A woman in a white sari with a yellow border stands behind him, one hand raised and pointing. Other people in white ritual clothing stand at the left and back. A potted plant sits at the upper right. The figure in orange has long curly hair and saffron clothing, which is a probable match for a person, but the image shows only the back of the head and no clear face, so the identification is uncertain.2010-07-08December 02 20102010-12-02
