A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange draped robe with a rudraksha-style beaded necklace and gold earrings, extending a palm toward a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl who raises his palms in reverence. Behind them red drapes hang, and a woman in white and other seated devotees are visible. The seated figure's appearance (long swept-back hair, saffron robe, beaded necklace) gives a person cues; the scene shows a blessing exchange. A flower arrangement sits at the left edge.

He smiles and reaches toward a standing devotee in a white kurta with an orange shawl, who raises one palm upward in a gesture of blessing or greeting. Orange and red fabrics dominate the setting, with other people partly visible in the background.2012-07-11July 06 20122012-07-06A photograph of a seated man in long, swept-back dark hair and an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder, wearing a long rudraksha mala with a white tilak on his forehead, placing his right palm on the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta with hands joined in a gesture of receiving blessing. A red curtain hangs behind them. Behind them stand several onlookers, including a bald man in orange robes wearing a rudraksha mala, and a young man in a grey t-shirt at the left edge.2012-07-06A seated figure in an orange-brown robe with a rudraksha-style bead necklace reaches forward and places a hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl, who has his palms pressed together in respect. The seated figure has long dark hair tied back and gold earrings and is smiling. Behind them hang red and orange draped fabrics, with flowers at the upper left. Two more people are partly visible in the background, including a woman with a red bindi and a person at the right edge. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable) from the distinctive long hair, rudraksha beads and ceremonial saffron-toned robes, shown giving a blessing to a devotee.2012-07-11A photograph of two men in an indoor temple-like hall with carved grey stone panels and a gold lamp stand behind them. On the right, a smiling man with hair swept back in a bun, a red bindi and tilak, wearing an orange saffron shawl over one shoulder and a long rudraksha mala, sits on a golden seat and raises a hand in greeting. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala. On the left, a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and red thread at his neck stands with both palms raised toward him in a blessing gesture.2011-11-26A seated figure in an orange-brown robe with long hair, a rudraksha mala and a wrap over the shoulder presses his right palm to the forehead of a kneeling man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a small red flower pinned at the chest. The kneeling man tilts his head back with eyes closed while their hands clasp together. Behind them, a few devotees in white and saffron sit in a hall with a red curtain, a speaker on the wall and an orange cloth on a dark red chair, with a golden ritual object in the foreground. The orange-robed figure has distinctive long hair, rudraksha and saffron clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji in person giving a blessing (anugraha) to a devotee.2013-05-24A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders, a wristwatch on his raised arm, and long dark hair, extending an orange cloth toward a man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard who raises his palm. Behind them a woman in an orange saree with maroon border sits, and an older man with a white moustache and orange lanyard stands at right. Maroon curtains and a gold-edged cushion are visible, with orange cloths stacked on a table.2013-02-22A seated figure in a rust-orange and gold-bordered garment with a rudraksha mala draped over the shoulder raises a hand toward the forehead of a grey-haired man in a white shirt with a red lanyard. The seated figure's eyes are closed and the bearded man faces forward as the gesture is made. Gold ceremonial cloth and a red cushion are visible beside the seated figure, with a white screen and a partly visible person at the right edge. The setting appears to be an indoor satsang hall.2013-12-12May 17 20132013-05-17A 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.2012-07-06A photo of a seated long-haired figure in a rust-orange draped robe with a red and yellow flower garland, leaning forward and raising both arms to meet the raised palms of a man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl and an event lanyard. Behind them, a woman in an orange sari with a gold trim and a white-and-gold sari stand near a hall; a red-and-gold cushion and a dark maroon drape frame the scene. The seated figure is marked as a person by long swept-back hair, an orange robe and a flower garland; the appearance cues are moderately clear, so this is an appearance-based label only. The man in white and the two standing women are devotees attending the event.2013-05-28
