A seated man in a rust-orange turban and rust-orange robe sits on a red velvet throne with gold carved armrests, wearing white and orange flower garlands and a beaded brown necklace with bangles on his wrist. He smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in a pink shirt, who bows forward and holds a gold-framed photograph of a deity. Behind them a woman in white with a red bindi and a beaded necklace watches, and a white fan and microphone stand sit on a dark red drape. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a rust-orange turban, saffron-orange robe, ceremonial flower garlands and a beaded necklace, matching the presiding guru seated on the throne.

A photograph of a seated guru on a red and gold throne blessing a kneeling devotee. The seated figure wears a rust-red turban with a brooch, a rust-red robe, layered yellow and purple marigold garlands, gold bangles and an armband, and has a long dark braid. He extends his right hand in blessing over the bowed head of a man in a white shirt who kneels with palms pressed together. Beside them an attendant in orange with yellow tilak on the forehead and rudraksha beads sits. In the foreground a gold-framed portrait is held, and gold-patterned decor and potted plants surround the throne. A camera on a tripod and a cameraman appear in the background. The image shows a blessing or darshan moment.2016-06-28July 09 20162016-07-09A seated man in an orange-red turban, saffron-orange robe, long gold bead necklaces and gold bangles, smiling, extends his right hand toward the crown of a kneeling devotee in a blue striped shirt, who bows with hands on his head. The seated man holds a golden-framed picture in his left hand. Behind them a woman in a peach sari stands at left, a young man in white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha mala stands behind, a brass oil lamp (deepa) stands on a tall stand, and a cameraman with a tripod is in the background beside a white cooler on a red-draped wall.

The seated man smiles with eyes closed. Behind them are gold-coloured ornate panels, a red carpet, a white wall-mounted air conditioner and a standing fan. A second person in white clothes with a rudraksha mala is partly visible at the right edge. The appearance of the seated man is consistent with a person, with an orange turban, orange robes and a flower garland, but the photo does not establish this; he is shown giving a blessing to a devotee in a blessing or satsang setting.2015-09-27July 04 20162016-07-04A photograph of a seated man in a rust-orange turban and rust-orange robe with a black shawl, wearing layered garlands of yellow-orange and purple flowers, gold bangles and a gold armband, seated on a red cushioned golden throne.

Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a red turban, gold armlets and ornate gold necklace, cues associated with the page's claim. Behind them, a woman in white with an orange-red beaded garland and rudraksha-style mala watches, and other devotees in white and patterned saris stand by a white wall unit and hold papers. Gold-patterned drapery and a red-cushioned seat frame the scene.2014-02-14A seated man in a rust-red turban and saffron-orange wrap, with a yellow flower garland and a bare upper torso, extends his right hand toward a kneeling man in a denim shirt who bows with hands cupped, holding a fruit. Behind them a woman in white sari and a long beaded necklace stands on a golden-brown floor before red draped curtains, with gilded decorative panels and a warm lamp at right.2015-10-25June 28 20162016-06-28A seated man in a rust-red turban, red-orange robe, gold-and-rudraksha necklaces and gold armbands rests his hand on the head of a kneeling man in white shirt and trousers with glasses. The seated man is on a red-and-gold throne and holds a gold-framed photograph of a similarly robed, turbaned figure. Behind them are brass oil lamps, a floor-standing fan, a tripod-mounted camera and a person in red-and-gold clothing.

The kneeling man is a devotee receiving blessing, and a red-and-gold-robed attendant stands at left.2016-07-09 +2 copies
