A long-haired man in a red-orange garment and multi-strand rudraksha mala sits beside an ornate gold-carved throne, raising his right hand to touch the forehead of a younger man in white kurta with a red-patterned shawl, who stands with palms pressed together in anjali. Behind them stand decorated deity murtis draped in green and gold garments and garlands, with green plants and a small offering tray of flowers and fruit. The scene suggests blessing or darshan. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long hair, orange-red clothing and rudraksha mala match the page candidate, and he is seated on the throne; the appearance cues are reasonably distinctive, so the label is probable. Two physical people are visible.

December 26 20142014-12-26A seated man with long dark swept-back hair, bare-chested under a rust-red wrap with a leopard-print cloth over his lap, places both hands on the head of a kneeling devotee in a white shirt and an orange-red shawl with printed text. He holds a silver staff upright beside him. Behind them stand ornate deity murtis draped in heavy gold necklaces and garlands, with green foliage and a gilded throne in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long hair, bare chest, rust-red wrap and the ornate gilded throne match the page's Swamiji reference, but identity rests on these cues alone.2014-12-26April 01 20122012-04-01A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala at his neck and a white forehead mark, placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in white clothes with a rudraksha mala and folded hands. Behind them stands a silver trident (trishul) and gold ornaments on a dais, with a bamboo and green-leaf backdrop. The kneeling man bows in a blessing gesture, holding a folded paper. Appearance cues on the seated figure include saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, but the figure is not confidently identified from the photo alone.2014-10-12May 07 20142014-05-07May 07 20142014-05-07December 26 20142014-12-26July 01 20172017-07-01May 11 20142014-05-11December 26 20142014-12-26July 27 20142014-07-27A photograph of a seated figure with a swept-back dark hair, white vibhuti horizontal marks and a red kumkum dot on the forehead, bare-shouldered and wearing a deep red shawl with gold border and a long gold-beaded necklace. He reaches to touch the crown of a man kneeling in front of him; the man wears a white kurta, a thin gold chain, and has his palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them stand a golden lion-headed throne armrest, orange and blue drapes, and a garland of yellow and red flowers. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a ceremonial gold necklace and a shawl, matching the cues for the page's named teacher, so the appearance is consistent with that identity in person.2013-11-11
