A seated figure with long, wavy dark hair and a white tilak on the forehead sits on an ornate gold throne, bare-chested with a red-orange cloth draped over the shoulder and a leopard-print lower garment. He reaches forward to press his palm on the forehead of a smiling man in a cream patterned kurta and a red-and-orange scarf, who stands with hands joined before him. Behind them stand decorated deity murtis with garlands and flowers, green palm fronds and a drum are visible, and a woman in a white sari watches at the right edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and rudraksha-style adornment with a throne-seated pose, consistent with a person appearance, though the face is not used for identification.2014-12-26A seated man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a rust-orange sleeveless garment with a braided gold-brown shoulder cord, raises his right hand to touch the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta with a red-orange shawl printed with repeated script.

The man wears a white kurta and an orange shawl printed with text. Behind them is a deep red drape and a gilded throne-like chair with ornate carving, and a partially visible woman in orange appears at the right edge. The gesture resembles a blessing or darshan. The seated figure's distinctive turban, orange robe and mala are consistent with the page's claim of Swamiji's presence, so this is a probable identification from appearance cues.2015-10-25December 24 20142014-12-24December 24 20142014-12-24A photograph of a ceremonial blessing. A figure with long dark hair in a bun, wearing a rust-orange robe and a gold necklace, places his right hand on the forehead of a man with short greying hair and a moustache. The man wears a white shirt and an orange-red printed cloth around his neck and raises his left palm toward the blesser.
