A seated figure in a red-orange robe with an ornate gold necklace and gold bangles and armlet places his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt, a blessing gesture in a red-carpeted hall. Behind them a standing woman in white with a rudraksha-style necklace watches, and a woman in white with an orange shawl stands nearby, with a child in white on the right. A gold-tipped ceremonial staff stands beside the throne and a gold-edged tray or plate rests in the foreground.

A seated figure with a shaved head? No: a figure with long dark hair wearing a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, a gold bangle and a maroon-and-gold draped garment places one raised hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl. The recipient stands with palms together at his waist while the officiant holds a folded paper in the other hand. Behind them stand women in white and orange clothing and gold-embroidered draperies, with a golden ornamental panel at left. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan ritual inside a temple setting.2015-10-24June 02 20142014-06-02June 12 20142014-06-12A seated man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a saffron-red wrap and a heavy gold-beaded necklace of large golden beads, leans forward from a gilded throne and places his right hand on the forehead of an older woman in a white top and rust-orange shawl with printed script.

A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, a white forehead tilak, a gold necklace and a long-beaded mala sits on the red-upholstered seat, wearing a rust-orange cloth and gold waist belt; he is handing bananas to seated devotees. Kneeling people in white and a woman in pink receive fruit from bunches on the floor. Standing women in white and rust-orange saris with rudraksha malas line up behind, and a split air conditioner and red curtains frame the room. The Swamiji (probable) cues are the long hair, ornate gold necklace and rust cloth on the figure seated on the throne, so the candidate is physically present.2014-09-01December 31 20152015-12-31January 16 20162016-01-16A seated bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, a red-and-gold garland of gold beads and a gold-ornamented necklace, sits on a throne with a golden lion-headed armrest and a carved cobra draped over a silver staff.
