Two other people stand near: a bald man in orange cloth at right and a figure in white with a gold-bordered shawl at lower right, while a person in white stands at left. The setting is an indoor hall with ceiling lights and a blurred background. Swamiji (probable) appears as the blessing figure, given his turban, rudraksha malas and ornate robe.2011-12-15December 12 20112011-12-12A smiling man in a cream-coloured turban with jewelled ornaments and a red tilak raises his right hand in blessing as he walks along a line of people. He wears a white and rose garland, a green and gold garment, rudraksha malas and red beaded bracelets. Around him, devotees with folded hands and white or grey shirts bow or stand in a hall with ceiling lights and a wall display. Several shaven-headed men in white and saffron robes stand at the right edge. An appearance-based candidate for the figure in the turban is present, with distinctive rudraksha malas, a turban, and ornate ceremonial clothing; the identification is probable only from these visible cues.2011-12-13December 13 20112011-12-13December 12 20112011-12-12Indoor event in a hall with a banner reading Bhagavad Gita behind. A person in a white and gold turban, with a red bindi, long dark hair, red and gold robe, rudraksha beads and gold necklaces, smiles while placing a hand on the head of a devotee who bows with hands joined. Beside him a bald man in orange robes stands, and older men in white shirts and a man in striped shirt stand nearby with other attendees behind. The dark-haired figure has distinctive long hair, rudraksha and gold adornments, with some resemblance to the expected visual cues, so the candidate is uncertain but plausible; setting appears to be a satsang or blessing gathering with several people visible.2011-10-15A photograph of a blessing scene indoors in a hall with warm lighting.
