A smiling man in a bright yellow turban with a gold-and-red ornamental brooch and a red tilak on his forehead stands at right, wearing a red sleeveless garment, a yellow shawl draped over his shoulders, a yellow-and-green silk dhoti, and multiple rudraksha malas with gold beads. He extends his right arm and hand toward a young man in a blue shirt and glasses at left, who holds his palms pressed together in namaste. A line of people in white and light clothing stands behind a barrier, and a tray of small packets sits in the lower right foreground. The setting is an indoor hall with warm lighting and a red-orange backdrop.2011-09-12A smiling man stands on a gold-carved throne platform in front of a golden ornate chair and a painted landscape backdrop.

Other men stand around, and blurred yellow and orange floral garlands decorate the background of what appears to be a temple or ritual hall. The distinctive turban, gold ornaments and saffron attire are present, but the page states a person is not at this event, so the identity is uncertain and the figure is described by role as a blessing giver.2011-12-17March 26 20122012-03-26September 21 20112011-09-21Photo 11739619July 30 20132013-07-30A photograph of an orange-clad man in a saffron turban and saffron shawl raising one hand in blessing as devotees with folded palms stand along a metal barrier rail.

He wears a long gold ceremonial necklace with rudraksha beads and a gold-trimmed shawl, and holds a folded white paper in his left hand. Behind him, a man with slicked-back hair wears a red tilak and white-and-gold garments, and a blurred golden deity shrine and red drapes fill the background. Several other people in white and dark clothing stand nearby. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the central figure, identified by the saffron turban, rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklace.2013-07-07December 07 20112011-12-07July 16 20112011-07-16
