Indoor photo of a man in a green-and-white striped polo shirt raising both palms toward a long-haired figure in orange clothing and a gold shawl. The man has a moustache and wears a green-and-yellow wristband. The long-haired figure reaches out, touching his arm, and smiles; the figure wears a reddish-orange garment and a glittering gold shawl. Seated people in white and orange clothes are in the background, and the room has cream padded walls and warm lighting. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired figure in orange and gold clothing with a shawl.

A long-haired figure seated on a red cushioned seat, wearing a red garment and a beaded necklace, reaches forward to press both palms to the forehead of a bald man in a cream kurta with an ID badge. The man holds his palms up open in response. Behind them, a seated woman in red with a red bindi smiles, and a gold-coloured ornate peetha or throne armrest with lion-like carving fills the lower right.

A balding man with a grey moustache, wearing a navy and green striped shirt and a red shawl printed with script, raises his hands while a man in saffron-red ceremonial attire with a rudraksha mala and white forehead marking extends his palm toward the man's forehead. The blessing-giver holds a braided white cord and a gold-coloured object in his other hand.

The man wears an orange shawl over a white and green striped shirt and presses his palms together at his forehead in a gesture of receiving blessing. Behind them a woman in orange robes and another person in white stand in a warm-lit hall, with golden ceremonial objects at the left edge. The scene suggests a blessing or Nayana Deeksha-style transmission in an ashram setting. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala on the seated figure, consistent with a Swamiji (probable) in-person candidate.2014-03-08March 09 20142014-03-09
