September 19 20132013-09-19A photograph of an indoor hall with a light-coloured tiled ceiling, ceiling fans and red curtains. A man in a saffron-orange turban, orange-and-gold robe and a long rudraksha mala stands smiling, his right palm raised over the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt with hands joined in namaste. Behind them, devotees in white clothes and folded hands wait in a line behind metal stanchions, and a woman in a yellow sari stands at the right. Probable Swamiji (the man in the saffron turban with rudraksha mala and gold-edged robe, presiding over the blessing) is present in person. A cameraman's lens is visible at the right edge. About ten people are visible.2013-09-19September 19 20132013-09-19Photograph of an indoor hall with ceiling fans and red curtains. A smiling figure in an orange-red turban and orange-and-gold saffron shawl, wearing a long coral-coloured bead mala and a red bindi, places his right hand on the forehead of a man in white kurta with folded hands and glasses who bows. Other people in white, orange robes and a woman in a green sari stand behind, with folded hands.

A man on the right wears a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with a thick rudraksha-style bead mala, gold armlets and a red tilak; he places his hand on the forehead of a devotee. A younger man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard stands at left with hands folded, and another devotee in white bends forward in front of a metal barrier. Several more people in white kurtas and saris stand in the background, and a screen glows at the far right. Visible cues suggest a person for the man in orange, who appears to be giving blessing, so the candidate is in person but the identification is uncertain.2013-09-12August 17 20132013-08-17A photograph of a formal line of devotees greeting a man in a saffron-orange turban, orange robe with gold border, and a long rudraksha mala. He stands at right with one palm raised in blessing while a row of people in white shirts and dhotis on the left stand with palms pressed together in namaste. Other devotees in orange and white stand behind metal stanchions along a hall with ceiling lights and a camera operator at the right edge. The man's appearance (turban, orange clothing, rudraksha mala and gold border) is consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable identification from appearance only.2013-09-19September 25 20132013-09-25December 24 20112011-12-24September 19 20132013-09-19August 16 20132013-08-16A photograph of a hall with white-clad devotees bowing with folded hands and heads lowered.
