A seated teacher in rust-red robes with a rudraksha-style garland of white jasmine and red-yellow flowers places his right palm on the forehead of a kneeling devotee. The teacher has a white vibhuti mark on his forehead and sits beside a gilded lion-head armrest on a red-cushioned seat. The devotee, with grey hair and moustache, wears a white shirt, a red-orange shawl, a wristwatch and folded hands, receiving blessing. A tall white-and-gold pole stands between them, and a gold-framed picture hangs on the wall behind. Other attendees sit at the edge of the frame in a satsang-style gathering.

Behind them stands a silver trident-like staff, a gold-coloured lion-head ornament sits in the foreground, and a gold throne with red cushions and a framed picture are in the background. A second person in red shawl stands at the right edge. The seated figure has garlands and bare-chest ceremonial adornment consistent with the page's description of a senior guru, so the identity is appearance-based and uncertain.2014-05-13May 13 20142014-05-13May 13 20142014-05-13May 13 20142014-05-13Photograph of a bare-chested man with swept-back dark hair, yellow sandalwood paste on his forehead, a yellow and green flower garland with leafy strands, and a red-orange cloth draped over him, extending his arm to touch the forehead of a smiling devotee in a white shirt and orange shawl.

Behind them stands a large golden deity figure, possibly a gold mount or vahana, with red and orange fabric, flowers and a kalasha-like gold object at the left edge. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (long hair pulled back, rudraksha mala, saffron robes), so he is listed as in_person, with the devotee receiving a blessing. One person is clearly the focus of this interaction, with a second partly visible figure in white in the background.2014-02-07
