A photograph of a seated devotee in white clothes and wire-rimmed glasses bowing forward while a standing man in a rust-orange saffron wrap places his right palm on the devotee's head in blessing. The standing man has long dreadlocked hair, a white vibhuti line with a red mark on his forehead, a thick rudraksha mala with gold ornament, and a gold pendant necklace; a red thread bracelet is on his wrist. Behind them stands a large silver lion sculpture against a black background. The devotee's palm is raised in a namaste-like gesture. Appearance-based cues for the blessing figure are distinctive (dreadlocks, rudraksha, saffron wrap, gold necklace), so this is a person in person, performing darshan with a devotee, on the 2017 Guinness Om event page.2017-12-16March 04 20182018-03-04A man seated on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions, palms pressed together in greeting.

A woman in a white top and a brown shawl with a dark bead necklace stands behind, and other devotees in maroon and saffron clothing are visible in the background. A gold ceremonial vessel sits near the seated figure. Whether the seated figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone; the figure is presented as a devotee-facing sannyasi giving blessing.2015-08-09A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala smiles broadly while raising one hand over the head of a bald devotee in white who kneels with palms joined in namaskar.
