A photograph of a satsang in a hall with a dark wood-panelled backdrop. A seated man in saffron-orange robes with gold borders and a long beaded orange necklace leans forward, smiling, and places his right palm on the head of a shaved-headed monk in matching orange robes with gold trim and rudraksha beads, who holds his hands together in greeting. A small wooden box and a glass bottle sit between them. Behind them, several people in white clothes with red shawls sit on a white floor cloth, and others sit further back. The seated man in the chair is a probable Swamiji, with a candidate appearance of long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a beaded necklace. The blessing gesture on the bald monk shows an in-person ritual moment.

Behind them, rows of seated devotees in white and red shawls watch, and a sign on the wall reads No Booking, No Videography, No Photography, No Mobile Camera. The setting is an indoor hall with dark marble and red-and-white signage. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing, a gold-and-beaded necklace and a shawl-like wrap, matching the page's claim of his presence, and is the person being approached for a blessing.2015-07-21May 09 20152015-05-09July 21 20152015-07-21September 20 20152015-09-20A photograph of a seated session in a hall with red-and-gold draped seating. In the foreground, a long-haired man in a saffron-gold-bordered dhoti and orange shawl, wearing a beaded rudraksha-style garland, reaches out to touch the forehead of a shaved-headed man in orange-gold shawl and matching garland, who sits with eyes closed and a vibhuti mark. Behind them a woman in maroon-and-gold robes with a rudraksha mala holds papers and a small box of offerings. Other seated attendees in white and red shawls, and a standing volunteer, fill the background, with a screen above. The scene appears to be a blessing or healing touch in a satsang setting.2015-07-10
