A photograph of a satsang setting. A man with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing a rust-red shawl over his bare shoulder with a rudraksha mala, sits on an orange cushioned chair and extends his right arm to touch the raised palms of a man in a white t-shirt with a red lanyard. Several seated devotees in red and white garments, some holding papers, sit behind them, and blurred floral garlands and a deity murti appear in the background. The seated figure has a long-hair, rudraksha and rust-shawl presentation matching the Swamiji (probable) cues, so this is a candidate physically present on stage.

A photograph of a bare-chested figure in an orange-red cloth draped over one shoulder, with long dark hair swept back, placing one hand on the head of a man in a white t-shirt with a red lanyard and black wristwatch. The man stands with both palms raised in a blessing gesture. Behind them, seated people in orange and white clothing and a blurred background of orange structures and yellow-garlanded figures suggest a satsang or darshan setting at night.

The recipient raises his own hand toward the giver's arm, smiling. Behind them, a woman in white with a red lanyard and other devotees in white and red stand in the dark.

The man wears a white kurta and a red-and-white lanyard, with his palms raised together above his head. The seated figure holds a small white card in the other hand. Behind them are a gold-tinted chair, potted green plants, a red and gold draped backdrop, and a woman in a white outfit with a pink shawl standing in the background. Appearance cues for the seated figure (long hair, rudraksha mala, saffron robe) are distinctive, so the seated person is a probable Swamiji candidate in person.2015-02-21October 07 20122012-10-07A photograph of a ritual blessing.
