A crowded indoor tent event with striped banners and a curtain behind. In the centre, a shaved-headed man in saffron robes and a gold-coloured pendant necklace stands beside a woman in a purple sari who kneels and offers something on a leaf plate. A bearded man in a white shirt with an orange shawl stands at left, and a woman in orange sits in the foreground. Devotees in white clothes stand behind. The saffron-robed figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the face and attire cues are not distinctive enough to confirm, so his identity is uncertain.

In the foreground a woman with long curly hair in an orange garment reaches out with her hand toward an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti with horizontal tilak marks, who is pressing his palms together. Beside him stand an older man in a light kurta, a woman in a sari, and a younger man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a shaved head. Several other men in orange shawls and white clothes stand behind, with more devotees in the background. No candidate is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no identification is made.2008-07-17July 17 20082008-07-17July 17 20082008-07-17A seated man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe, rudraksha beads and a gold necklace, extends his right hand to bless the head of a devotee bowing before him. Nearby, a shaved-headed young monk in orange robes and beaded mala stands beside him, while a man in white clothes with an orange garland and an older man in white shirt and mala watch with folded hands. Behind them, a hall with patterned hangings and orange-draped seating holds more standing devotees in white. The long-haired figure's cues (hair, saffron robe, rudraksha, gold necklace) are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji, giving his blessing in person.2008-07-17A photograph of a festive tent event with patterned hanging banners in yellow, red and blue.
