A seated man in a rust-red saffron robe and a gold-bead necklace smiles broadly while placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in a checked shirt kneeling before him. The seated figure is beside a gilded ornamental throne with lion-like carved finials and a dark wooden staff with a serpent-like head. A silver staff stands behind, and green palm fronds and a patterned curtain fill the background. Two other people are partly visible at the edges, one in a white shirt at the right. The seated man appears to be a person, based on the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron robe, with the throne setting and blessing of a devotee.

A photograph from a satsang setting in which a seated figure with long dark hair, wearing a gold necklace and a red-and-orange wrap, rests one hand on the head of a kneeling young boy in a white shirt. The seated figure sits on a golden lion-headed throne with a silver and black serpent-shaped staff beside them, in front of red drapes. Another woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, given the long hair, gold ornaments, and red-orange wrap; the boy is receiving a blessing.2014-07-24August 01 20142014-08-01July 24 20142014-07-24August 01 20142014-08-01A seated man in a red-maroon garment and a bare upper body wears a long gold-and-beaded necklace and a bright orange-yellow forehead mark, with his long dark hair tied back. He smiles while resting his right hand on the head of a young boy in white kneeling before him. A dark brown snake is coiled around a silver staff beside him, and a golden lion-shaped throne armrest sits at his side. Behind them stands a silver ceremonial rod and green plants along a bamboo-screen background. The man's appearance matches the page's Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-orange marking, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) blessing a young devotee.2014-08-02A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair tied back, wearing an orange-yellow tilak on his forehead, a gold beaded garland over bare shoulders, and red-orange cloth.
