A photograph of a seated man in a rust-orange turban and dark orange robe, with long dreadlocked hair and a rudraksha mala, sitting on a gold throne with leopard-print cushion and holding a printed sheet. Facing him, a group of men in white shirts and white trousers wear yellow-and-red shawls and stand attentively, one holding a document. A standing sannyasi in orange-red cloth with a rudraksha mala and sacred ash on his forehead watches. The room has maroon curtains, white walls and a ceiling light panel.

Around them, men in white shirts and orange or saffron shawls stand and watch, and a man in a white shirt on the right holds his hands together. Another man at the left edge holds a phone up to record. The setting is a plain room with pink-curtained windows and a red carpet. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, rust turban and bare chest give a person cues, consistent with the page, while the blessing scene is an in-person event.2016-07-23Indoor scene in a hall with maroon curtains and a red carpet. A man in a saffron-orange turban and long dark hair, seated at left with his back partly to camera, holds open a blue and gold printed booklet or chart. Beside him a shaved-headed man in rust-orange dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala stands looking down at the booklet.

A man in the centre wears a white shirt with a red and yellow shawl and holds a red-and-white printed poster that the seated figure is looking at. Around them about ten men in white shirts and yellow-red shawls stand close, some with wristwatches and sandalwood marks. A gold-wrapped object sits in the lower right corner. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page reference but not clearly distinctive, so identity is uncertain.2016-07-23A photograph of a seated figure with long dreadlocks, wearing a rust-brown turban and a brown robe with a rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders, extending a hand toward a group of men standing around him. Several men wear white shirts or dhotis with orange and yellow shawls and garlands; one bare-chested man in a red-and-maroon dhoti holds a rudraksha mala and offers something. A man in the centre holds a small object in cupped hands, and another raises a phone. Red curtains and a red carpet are behind them, with a bright light glare at the centre. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, rudraksha malas and a turban, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) candidate presenting a blessing or offering to the devotees, with the surrounding men as devotees.2016-07-23
