A photograph of an indoor hall with a drop ceiling and fluorescent lights. A man in a rust-red turban and rust-red robe with an orange sash wears a heavy gold-beaded necklace and rudraksha beads, and has a headset microphone. He appears to be a sannyasi, with a vibhuti or tilak mark on his forehead. He reaches toward a older bald man in a silver-lavender brocade shawl with gold zari, who holds a woven basket of fruit wrapped in gold mesh. Two water bottles and more fruit sit on a table behind them, and other men in white shirts and red shawls stand in the background beside framed photographs on the wall.

Behind them stand a golden cobra-entwined staff, a silver kalasha-like vessel and gold ornamental carvings, with red drapes and a peacock-feather fan at left. The scene suggests a blessing exchange, with the seated figure matching visible cues of a person presenting a blessing to a devotee.2014-07-27December 31 20092009-12-31A seated man in a maroon wrap and leopard-print cloth wears a white-and-gold garland with rudraksha beads and a rudraksha mala on his arm, with a white tilak on his forehead. He leans forward and holds out a yellow-wrapped offering or fruit to a kneeling man in a white collared shirt, who bows his head. Behind them a person in an orange robe bends low, with red drapes and a white air-conditioning unit in the room.2014-04-27A seated man in orange saffron robes and an orange turban with a red bindi sits cross-legged on a white cushioned seat, with long dark hair and a heavy gold bead necklace on his bare chest. Two attendants stand behind him in orange garments, one holding a colourful tasselled ceremonial umbrella with a gold pole and the other in white with an orange shawl. A vase of pink flowers, a water bottle and a glass sit on a white table to the right, and golden sandals rest on a red mat in front. Swamiji (probable) appears in this scene, matching the saffron robes, turban, long hair and gold beaded necklace; he is in_person, seated with his attendants.2007-12-30 +1 copiesA seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with a red bindi and a long rudraksha mala, speaks into a microphone on a stand while gesturing with his right hand. He sits cross-legged on a white cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold throne-style backdrop with lion-like finials. Above him hangs a framed portrait of a long-haired man in orange robes with a garland of red and white flowers draped on the frame, labelled as a portrait rather than a live person. A dark draped backdrop and a water bottle at the right edge complete the stage setting. Only one physical person is present. The seated speaker matches the visible cues of long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ornate setting, so he is recorded as a probable in-person candidate.2007-08-11December 30 20072007-12-30March 05 20132013-03-05November 22 20102010-11-22August 09 20152015-08-09October 22 20152015-10-22 +1 copies
