A photograph of a seated figure in a red-orange turban and saffron-orange garment with a bare upper body, wearing a multi-strand garland of white, yellow and orange flowers and holding an orange fruit. Beside him a young man with a saffron-yellow forehead band, round glasses, rudraksha mala and orange shawl sits on a mat. A bent-over man in a striped blue-and-white shirt presses his forehead to the seated man's knee. Behind them a woman in white with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands, and gold carved pillars, red drapes and a hanging microphone stand frame the stage. Three people are visible in the scene.

A photograph of an in-person blessing scene. A person in a maroon and gold turban, long dark-red sash with gold border, multiple flower garlands in orange and white, and gold bangles on the arm reaches forward to touch the forehead of a kneeling man in an orange shirt. Beside them a bald man with a yellow forehead mark and dark beads wears an orange-and-maroon wrap. A kneeling man in a white shirt with folded hands and glasses watches. In front, a tray holds oranges, bangles and folded cash. Behind, a gold deity murti stands in an ornate shrine area and a standing man in white and rudraksha beads is visible. Looks like a darshan blessing with abhishekam-style offerings.2015-05-14A seated figure in a saffron-orange turban, orange-and-gold robe and a long rudraksha mala with gold ornaments sits on a gold-carved throne, extending an apple toward a kneeling young man in a white shirt who holds his hands in anjali mudra. Standing behind them, a shaven-headed man with vibhuti on his forehead, glasses, an orange robe and rudraksha mala watches. In the background stand a brass oil lamp and a man in white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl. The seated figure's appearance (turban, ornate jewellery and ornate throne setting) is consistent with the a person candidate, presented as the giver of blessing prasad.2015-10-13October 13 20152015-10-13October 11 20152015-10-11October 10 20152015-10-10October 12 20152015-10-12October 13 20152015-10-13May 13 20152015-05-13A photo inside a temple-style hall with gold deity figures and red drapes behind.

Probable Swamiji, identified by the red turban, saffron cloth, and ornate gold necklace and armbands. Across from him, an older woman with grey hair, a white top and a red-orange shawl leans forward and bows toward a black tray of oranges. Beside him, a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits, and a standing attendant in white with an orange shawl and mala stands behind. Oranges sit in the black tray in the foreground.2015-05-14A seated figure on a golden throne wears a red-orange turban, ornate beaded necklaces, and a saffron-and-gold wrap, extending bare hands forward to receive offerings. Before them a man in a grey-blue collared shirt kneels and holds out fruit in cupped palms. Behind, a shaved-headed attendant in a red-orange robe with a vertical tilak and rudraksha mala sits beside a gold-framed throne, with standing attendants in red and gold clothing and a brass lamp beside them. This is a devotional darshan with fruit offering. The seated figure matches the appearance cues of Swamiji (probable): red turban, ornate gold and beaded adornment, saffron wrap, being honoured on a throne.2015-10-13October 12 20152015-10-12A photograph of a seated woman in a red-orange turban and a red-and-gold saree, wearing a white and yellow floral garland, handing a yellow fruit to a man in a white collared shirt who leans forward to receive it.
