Photograph of an indoor satsang setting. A seated man with long swept-back hair, wearing a rust-orange wrap, a rudraksha mala with multiple strands and a red bindi on his forehead, smiles as he reaches out to touch the forehead of a standing man in a white short-sleeved shirt and wristwatch, who holds his palm up toward him. A gilded lion sculpture and gold-toned panels are behind them, with a tan wall and a red-cushioned seat. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure with the long hair, orange wrap and mala, shown in a blessing exchange.

December 03 20132013-12-03December 05 20132013-12-05A photograph of a seated man in a rust-orange sannyasi robe with a gold necklace of beaded ornaments and a white tilak on his forehead, reaching his right hand to press it onto the forehead of a man in a white short-sleeved shirt who kneels or bows before him with his palm raised. The seated figure is smiling. Behind them is a golden lion-headed seat or throne against a deep red drape and bamboo screen. The figure in orange has a probable Swamiji appearance from the swept-back hair, saffron robe and gold necklace, so this is an in_person candidate described as a probable Swamiji blessing a devotee in a darshan-style moment.2014-07-15A seated figure with long dark hair tied back, a white vibhuti mark and red kumkum on the forehead, wearing a saffron-red robe with gold border and layered bead necklaces, extends his arm to touch the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala. Two golden lion-headed seats or ornaments sit beside him, and a woman in red-brown clothing watches in the background, with a camera on a tripod nearby. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation moment in an indoor hall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, ornate gold-and-bead necklaces and saffron-red clothing.2014-03-06January 04 20142014-01-04December 05 20132013-12-05December 17 20132013-12-17A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a gold tilak on the forehead places his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in a white shirt, hands folded in namaskar and a gold wristwatch visible. Behind them stands a large golden deity figure, possibly a gold mount or vahana, with red and orange fabric, flowers and a kalasha-like gold object at the left edge. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (long hair pulled back, rudraksha mala, saffron robes), so he is listed as in_person, with the devotee receiving a blessing. One person is clearly the focus of this interaction, with a second partly visible figure in white in the background.2014-02-07December 10 20132013-12-10March 07 20142014-03-07September 30 20132013-09-30A seated man in a rust-red dhoti with gold border, long hair tied back, gold bead necklace and a white vertical mark on his forehead, smiles as he extends his arm to press his palm onto the forehead of a young man in a white collared shirt with a visible wristwatch and an event badge.
