A photograph of a seated man on a red velvet throne with ornate gold carvings, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and a long brown-beaded mala around his neck, with a white vertical tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. He smiles and gazes toward a man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl, who stands before him with palms pressed together in greeting. Behind them stand several women in pink, white and orange saris, and brass oil lamps are visible on a shelf at the back of a red-walled hall. A microphone stand and a white fan unit sit nearby.

The seated man sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest. Behind them, a golden trident stands upright, with garlanded deity murtis, gold necklaces, red and green drapes, and white lilies in the background. A woman with a red-marked forehead is partly visible at the right edge. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by his long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial throne seating, and the page indicates his presence at this event. The blessing is a darshan exchange with a devotee.2014-12-28April 28 20162016-04-28October 01 20172017-10-01
