Photograph of a smiling man with a white tripundra and red bindi, bare-shouldered and wearing a rust-red dhoti with gold border and a beaded pinkish-gold necklace, seated beside a golden lion-faced ceremonial object holding a rope. A younger man in a white shirt and orange-red shawl with printed text on it rests his hand on the seated man's shoulder. Garlands of orange and white flowers hang behind, with an orange drape and a wall fan in the background. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair and ceremonial adornments, so this is a person in person, with a devotee beside him.

A small red bindi marks his forehead. A kneeling young man in a dark brown t-shirt with a red rudraksha mala and a white flower garland receives the blessing, his palm resting on his own knee. Behind them stand a golden lion-form throne support, a golden deity murti, and a golden-yellow cloth draped with garlands of green, yellow and red flowers. A wristwatch is visible on the kneeling man's wrist. The seated man appears to be the one being described on the page as the person giving the blessing; his appearance shows a rudraksha mala and bare shoulder but no distinctly identifying cues like saffron clothing or long swept hair, so the identification is uncertain.2013-11-14May 01 20142014-05-01A photograph of a seated man in a rust-orange sannyasi robe with a gold necklace of beaded ornaments and a white tilak on his forehead, reaching his right hand to press it onto the forehead of a man in a white short-sleeved shirt who kneels or bows before him with his palm raised. The seated figure is smiling. Behind them is a golden lion-headed seat or throne against a deep red drape and bamboo screen. The figure in orange has a probable Swamiji appearance from the swept-back hair, saffron robe and gold necklace, so this is an in_person candidate described as a probable Swamiji blessing a devotee in a darshan-style moment.2014-07-15April 26 20152015-04-26May 03 20142014-05-03May 09 20142014-05-09November 16 20132013-11-16
