A photograph of a ritual exchange beside a large polished silver trident. A bare-chested man in a saffron cloth with a rudraksha mala kneels at left with palms pressed together and eyes closed, while a man on the right, wearing a tiger-striped shawl over a dark garment, multiple beaded rudraksha-style necklaces, and a white horizontal tilak on his forehead, places his hand on the kneeling man's forehead while holding a folded white slip of paper. Two people are visible; a blurred figure appears at far left edge. Background shows a white screen and an exit sign.

The blessing man holds a long golden staff upright. Behind them a golden ornamental panel and red curtain are visible. The figure with the long hair and rudraksha mala matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, and he is physically present, performing a blessing for a devotee.2013-05-25December 18 20132013-12-18December 19 20132013-12-19A photo of a bare-shouldered figure in a striped tiger-print wrap and long rudraksha beads placing a hand on the forehead of a short-haired, grey-haired man in a white t-shirt with a red lanyard and rudraksha mala. The man's palms are raised in front of him as he bows his head. A silver trident stands in the background beside a wooden lectern and a row of green-topped items. The figure's features and hair are not clear enough to confirm identity, so the appearance is uncertain and the role is given as a person giving a blessing.2013-12-15May 09 20142014-05-09December 15 20132013-12-15December 18 20132013-12-18December 04 20132013-12-04
