A photograph of a seated man in a red-maroon sleeveless wrap with a gold border and a long gold-toned beaded necklace, with a white vertical tilak on his forehead, resting his right palm on the forehead of a man kneeling before him. The kneeling man wears a white shirt and an orange-red shawl, and holds one hand open in front of him. Behind them is a golden deity murti draped in a garland of yellow, white and red flowers, with a blue and gold cloth below it. A red patterned mat covers the floor. The page indicates a person attended this event, but the seated figure's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm, so the role is described as a seated devotee-receiver of blessing with a priestly posture.

The seated figure's eyes are closed and he appears to be giving a blessing. Beside him are gold lion-head armrests of a throne, a silver staff with a ornate finial, and a framed painting on a pale wall. A woman in a red top is partly visible at the right edge.2014-05-13A seated figure with a swept-back dark hairstyle, bare-chested under a maroon-brown cloth, wears a red and white garland with rudraksha beads and a white tilak on the forehead, placing a hand on the head of a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears a white kurta and an orange shawl and presses palms together. Behind them are red velvet drapes, a floral garland of red and yellow flowers, and a gold kalasha-like vessel. A seated figure with long swept-back hair and rudraksha malas with a crown-like adornment gives blessing, consistent with a padapuja-style darshan. Swamiji (probable) is in the seated figure, who has long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and a garland, and the devotee is kneeling in front of the throne.2014-09-28May 07 20142014-05-07 +1 copiesSeptember 14 20142014-09-14October 24 20152015-10-24May 09 20152015-05-09March 18 20132013-03-18July 19 20152015-07-19A seated figure in an orange-red cloth wrap with a long rudraksha mala and a white tilak on the forehead raises one hand while touching the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt.
