A bare-headed man in a white t-shirt with a black wristwatch raises both palms while another person presses a hand to his forehead in a blessing gesture. The blessing giver wears a rust-orange wrap with long dark hair swept back, and wears rudraksha beads on the wrist and neck. Behind them, a seated man in white garments with a rudraksha mala sits, and further back other people in white and red-orange clothing sit on a white floor near floral garlands in red, yellow and green. The blessing giver's appearance (long swept-back hair, orange clothing, rudraksha adornments) gives a person candidate, though the image is not conclusive. Several people are visible.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-brown saffron robe and a long beaded rudraksha necklace with ornate gold pendant, long dark hair swept back, placing one hand on the forehead of a man in white clothes with a rudraksha mala. The man has both palms raised in a blessing-receiving gesture. Behind them, a seated man in white with a gold-bordered dhoti and rudraksha beads has a white forehead mark, and standing devotees in white and one woman in orange with gold border watch from the background. A man in a white shirt at right looks on. The appearance of the seated figure with long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha and gold ornaments is consistent with Swamiji (probable), giving a blessing to a devotee in what appears to be a satsang or darshan setting.2013-07-02July 10 20132013-07-10July 10 20132013-07-10July 05 20132013-07-05A photograph of a devotee receiving a blessing at a seated programme on a stage.
