A photograph of a man with short light-brown hair, wearing a white striped open-collared shirt over a grey t-shirt, eyes closed and palm raised, while a figure in an orange robe with long dark wavy hair extends an arm to press fingertips to his forehead. Swamiji (probable): the orange-robed figure has long swept-back dark hair and orange clothing, consistent with the page's reference to Nithyananda Paramashivam; the appearance cues are partial, so this is a probable identification. Behind them are orange flowers and a dim indoor hall with other attendees partly visible.

Hands of other people are visible at the edges, and orange flowers appear in the upper right. Probable Swamiji (orange saffron robes, long swept-back hair, red tilak) performing a blessing touch on devotees at an event.2006-09-01Indoor photo at night of a man with short greying hair and a grey patterned short-sleeved shirt with dark collar, eyes closed, being touched on the forehead by a man with long swept-back black hair wearing an orange-saffron top, who has a small red mark on his forehead.

The seated figure has long dark hair and a red bindi and sits against a white cushioned seat. The standing man raises his right hand toward the seated figure's raised arm while his left hand touches the top of his own forehead, a blessing-type gesture. Deep maroon velvet drapes hang behind them. The seated person's appearance is consistent with the page's description of a person, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so the figure is described by role as a seated sannyasi receiving a devotee.2007-02-02September 01 20062006-09-01December 15 20092009-12-15A seated saffron-robed figure with long dark swept-back hair reaches out to touch the forehead of a man with short wavy brown hair and eyes closed, wearing a blue-grey collared shirt.

A man with long, dark, swept-back hair wearing an orange robe and an orange-and-gold shawl leans forward and presses his palm to the forehead of a grey-haired, bearded man in a blue short-sleeved shirt, who has his eyes closed and hands raised near his chest. Orange marigold flowers and green foliage are visible at the right edge, and a few other people stand blurred in the background wearing white and light clothing. The orange-robed figure matches the appearance of Swamiji (probable) in the role of giver of blessing, with long hair and saffron clothing as the visible cues.2006-09-01
