A photograph of a standing man with long dark hair, wearing a bright orange turban, an orange-saffron shawl edged in gold, and a red and yellow flower garland. He is smiling and reaches forward with his right hand, placing it on the forehead of a seated older man in a yellow-and-white checked shirt who raises both palms in a blessing gesture. Several people in white and off-white clothing stand in the blurred background, and a seated man in white with a bare upper body and beaded necklaces appears at the lower left. The setting is an indoor hall with warm lighting and a cream-coloured chair in front.

The robed figure wears a red and yellow flower garland and has long dark hair and a crown-like ornament, with bare shoulder visible. Behind them, seated devotees in white and pale clothing and a red carpet fill a bright indoor hall with a window and lamp.2012-03-30December 18 20112011-12-18A photo of a blessing moment at an indoor event. A seated figure in an orange turban, orange shawl with gold borders and a red-and-yellow flower garland stretches an arm forward and places a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt, who has his palm raised. A man in white and a second man in white with a rudraksha mala appear behind. Orange and pink lights and white flowers decorate the background. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and bare-chested ornate orange dress with a gold-trimmed shawl, consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues and a blessing role, so the appearance is a plausible in-person match.2012-03-30March 30 20122012-03-30March 30 20122012-03-30A photograph of a man in an orange turban and orange shawl with long, swept-back dark hair and orange beaded wrist bracelets placing his right palm on the forehead of a man in a blue button-up shirt.

The seated man wears a red tilak mark and a gold ornament on his turban, and his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Another hand rests on the white-shirted man's shoulder. Red and pink string lights and a floral arrangement frame the scene.

Around them stand several onlookers in white and cream shirts, one wearing an orange shawl, with bright coloured lights glowing in the background. A tall, swept-back long hair and ceremonial orange attire are visible, but the person's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the presiding figure is described by role as a giver of blessing. Several more people are visible in the crowd behind them.2010-01-20March 30 20122012-03-30
