A photograph of a seated man with swept-back dark hair, orange tilak on his forehead, wearing a rudraksha mala with gold beads and a saffron-red wrap, reaching to touch the forehead of a young man in a white shirt with a red-orange shawl printed with script. A golden lion-head ornament and a silver staff stand beside them, with gold drapery behind. The man giving blessing matches the page's Swamiji claim by appearance (long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, saffron clothing), so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person giving a forehead blessing to a devotee; a second person's arm is visible at the right edge. Two people are visible.

The seated man has long dark hair tied back, an orange tilak on his forehead, and smiles warmly. Golden ornate decor and a silver staff with a round medallion stand behind them. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long hair swept back, an orange tilak and a gold beaded necklace, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event, so this is an appearance-based candidate present in person.2014-08-02May 13 20142014-05-13May 13 20142014-05-13July 24 20142014-07-24May 05 20142014-05-05May 10 20142014-05-10May 07 20142014-05-07May 14 20142014-05-14A seated man with short dark hair, a white forehead mark and a red wrist thread, bare-chested and draped in an orange-red cloth, wears a white flower garland with red and yellow blossoms. He extends his right hand to press a palm on the forehead of a standing man in a white shirt with an orange-red shawl. A tall silver staff with a trident-like top stands beside them, with a gilded lion-faced ornament and a gold throne-like backdrop behind; a framed painting hangs on the wall. The scene suggests a blessing exchange.2014-05-13
