A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron garment with a rudraksha mala draped across his chest and multiple rudraksha bracelets on his wrists, seated and smiling broadly while extending both hands outward toward a man in a white kurta who stands before him with his palms pressed to the top of the seated man's head. A small red bindi is on the seated man's forehead. Behind them a blurred woman in orange sits, and a patterned cushion appears at the right edge. The seated man in orange and rudraksha has long swept-back hair, a bare-chested orange wrap and ornate gold-edged saffron cloth, matching a probable Swamiji depiction of an in-person figure; the standing devotee in white is performing a blessing gesture.

A photograph of a seated man in an orange saffron garment with a gold border, wearing a long rudraksha mala, a red bindi on his forehead, and smiling broadly. He sits on a red cushioned seat while a second man in white kurta, with long dark hair, leans in and raises his hands toward him in a blessing-like gesture. Behind them stand golden decorations, red and yellow flower garlands, and a gold-toned shrine backdrop. The seated man shows distinctive adornments with saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, a person candidate.2011-11-30A seated man in an orange and gold silk shawl with a red-and-gold border and a long rudraksha mala around his neck places his hands on the forehead of a man in a white shirt, blessing him with a touch. The seated man has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and eyes closed, and is smiling. Behind him is a brass oil lamp and a decorated wall with a painted image of a goddess in red and orange. A partially visible bald man in white stands at the left edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, orange silk and a rudraksha mala, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable match.2011-11-29April 14 20122012-04-14A photograph of a satsang moment on a stage with a red curtain behind. A figure in an orange-red robe with a long rudraksha mala and a saffron shawl, with long swept-back dark hair and a gold earring, sits smiling and reaches up with both hands to hold the head of a man in a white shirt. The man tilts his head back with his mouth open and a hand raised, and wears a gold bracelet and a dark wristwatch. A man in the background looks on. Probable Swamiji (orange robe, rudraksha mala, long swept-back hair, gold earring) in the central blessing action.2012-07-02July 07 20122012-07-07Photograph of a seated discourse session. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with multiple rudraksha mala necklaces and beaded bracelets sits on a red and black patterned seat, gesturing with an open hand and smiling. Across from him, a man in a white shirt raises both palms together in a respectful gesture. Behind them, a shaved-headed man in white sits beside a seated figure in white with a rudraksha mala, and a few onlookers stand near a white wall and air conditioning unit. A white tray with offerings lies at the lower left. Probable Swamiji is seated at the centre-left, identified by long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha malas.2012-04-14July 06 20122012-07-06July 01 20132013-07-01July 01 20122012-07-01A photograph of a satsang where a seated man with long swept-back dark hair, white forehead tilak, gold earring, multiple rudraksha malas, and an orange-saffron shawl over bare shoulders extends his right arm and hand toward a young man in a white shirt with a visitor badge who raises his palms in return. A seated man in a white shirt with a black mala watches behind them, and a red draped backdrop hangs behind the group. The seated figure's cues (long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, saffron shawl) are distinctive, and the page places Swamiji at this satsang, so he is marked as a probable identification.2012-07-06November 29 20112011-11-29A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron garment with long dark hair and a red bindi, smiling as they place a hand on the head of a man in a white shirt with a dark lanyard seen from behind. Dark red velvet drapes form the backdrop. The man in white is blessing or touching the crown of the head of the figure in orange with his hand, and his other hand rests near the shoulder. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha-style pendant, shown in a blessing exchange, not a rite of identity.2011-12-11
