Photograph inside a covered temple hall with a corrugated roof and orange walls decorated with painted pillars. A bald man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a pink cloth, his bare shoulder visible, with a gold ornament near him. Several men stand in a line with their palms pressed together in prayer, including one in a grey checked shirt and white trousers and another in a yellow patterned shirt. A woman with dark hair in the left foreground is partly visible, and a man in white clothes stands at the right by a white plastic chair. A gold-framed panel stands beside the seated figure. The scene suggests a devotional or puja gathering in progress.

A photograph inside a covered temple hall with orange-tiled walls and a wooden gilded pillar on the right. A shaved-headed man in saffron orange robes with a red-bordered shawl sits on a pink cushion beside a gold-edged wooden throne, bending forward and extending his hand toward a woman in a blue sari with gold bangles who sits on the floor with cupped hands. Behind them, about six men stand watching, including one in a mint-green shirt and another in a checked shirt with a name badge, and a man in white dhoti and shirt stands near a white plastic chair. Colourful hanging banners and a small electrical box are visible.2010-11-05August 08 20102010-08-08 +1 copiesNovember 25 20092009-11-25A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long dark wavy hair, leaning forward and placing both hands on the head of a man in a light cream shirt who bows with hands folded. Around them, a line of men in white shirts and dhotis stand and watch, one in the foreground in white with a red thread at his wrist and hands pressed to his face. A man on the right wears a white garment and a rudraksha mala. The hall has white draped ceilings, painted pillars with elephant motifs, and a red velvet cushion in the lower right. The orange-robed figure with long hair is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) giving blessing to a devotee, marked by the saffron robe and long swept hair, with a similar pattern of blessing and darshan in this setting.2010-08-10 +1 copiesNovember 25 20092009-11-25May 11 20122012-05-11May 12 20122012-05-12A seated man in an orange sleeveless garment and a long wet-looking dark hairstyle with a rudraksha mala around his neck extends his right arm while another man in a dark striped shirt holds and guides the forearm of a devotee in a white shirt. Several standing men watch with hands pressed together in namaste, including one in a striped polo and jeans and another in white dhoti-style clothing with a yellow cloth. The room has cream walls, yellow and orange hangings and a red chair.

A man in an orange robe with a long rudraksha mala and long swept-back dark hair places his hand on the head of a man in a pale shirt who has his palms pressed together in prayer. Beside them, a man in an orange robe holds a silver tray with a gold-coloured object on it. A shaved-headed man in white ritual clothing with a white forehead mark stands at the right edge. Other devotees in white and pale shirts wait behind. The scene reads as a blessing or darshan line.2010-11-01October 13 20122012-10-13A seated figure in orange sleeveless robes with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, extending his arm to a standing devotee in a plaid shirt with a red-beaded mala who offers his wrist or hand. Beside them a bald man in white with an orange shawl bends forward with hands on the devotee's back, and another man in white stands behind. A small wooden table holds ritual items, and a temple-style painted backdrop with colorful deity carvings hangs behind. The seated figure's appearance (long swept-back hair, orange robes, ornate throne and mala cues) fits the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable in-person identification rather than a confirmed one.2010-02-10December 16 20092009-12-16
