A photograph of a seated man on a gold-and-red throne draped with red zebra-print fabric, wearing a rust-orange dhoti and garland of white flowers, with rudraksha beads and a white tilak on his forehead. He reads from a paper held in his hand while a kneeling devotee in a checked shirt bows at his feet. Standing behind, a woman in white with an orange-and-brown rudraksha mala watches, and a man in white dhoti and orange shawl stands at right. Gold ornaments and a gold kalasha-like object sit beside the throne, with a green-draped altar and deity murti in the background.

June 03 20142014-06-03A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red robe with a white floral garland, rudraksha malas across his chest and a white tilak on his forehead, leaning forward to touch the chin of a kneeling man in a white-and-green striped shirt. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, gold earrings, bare upper arms with rudraksha bands, and a leopard-print wrap, and is smiling. Behind them, a woman in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands smiling, and another woman in a lavender sari and gold bangles watches. Red draped curtains form the backdrop. Probable Swamiji is the seated figure in the rust-red robe with rudraksha malas and long swept-back hair; the kneeling man is a devotee receiving blessing.2014-04-27September 21 20142014-09-21July 31 20152015-07-31A photograph of a seated man in a maroon-red dhoti and wrap with a white flower garland and white vibhuti marks on his forehead, placing both hands on the head of a bald man in a white kurta who bows forward. A woman in glasses and an orange sari with a white bag stands beside them holding a yellow object. Behind them stand several women in colourful saris and a group of onlookers in a room with golden deity statues in the background. The seated man is shown in a blessing gesture, with the bowing devotee receiving it. Some of the people are wearing rudraksha malas. The scene resembles a blessing or padapuja exchange in a temple-style room, with a gold lion figure visible at lower left. The seated man has a distinctive appearance but no printed name or caption identifies him, so identity is not established.2014-06-06A seated figure in a rust-red robe over a leopard-print cloth, wearing a white flower garland and an orange-beaded necklace, smiles while touching the forehead of a kneeling older man with grey hair. The man wears a white kurta and an orange beaded garland and holds a yellow cloth. Behind them a standing woman in a white dress and long rudraksha-style brown beaded necklace with an orange shawl watches and touches her chin. A red-upholstered seat, a standing fan and a gold-trimmed backdrop complete the indoor setting.2014-05-31A photo of a seated figure on a red and gold throne with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a rust-red dhoti-style garment, a leopard-print waist cloth, a white flower garland and a rudraksha mala, with white and red tilak marks on the forehead. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial clothing, which are the qualifying cues. A bare-shouldered devotee in a white shirt bends forward to touch his feet, while a young boy in a grey shirt kneels beside them. Two women in white saris stand behind, one wearing a rudraksha mala and the other with folded hands.
