A seated long-haired man in an orange-brown robe and a red-brown beaded mala necklace raises his right hand to touch the forehead of a young man with short brown hair, who wears a white shirt, an orange-red shawl and beaded bracelets and holds his palms together in front of him. Both are smiling in a warm indoor hall with cream walls and a red velvet chair; a white-clad attendant with an orange sash stands in the background. The seated man is a person by appearance cues: long swept hair, a rudraksha-style mala and orange robes, while a person in front of him receives the blessing.

A photograph of a satsang setting in a cream-walled room. A long-haired figure in an orange-brown robe and rudraksha mala sits on a maroon-upholstered seat and places a hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a red-orange shawl. The seated figure fits the page's appearance cues of long hair, rudraksha and orange clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) giving blessing to a devotee. Behind them a man with a sandalwood or vibhuti forehead mark wears a red shawl, another man in white stands at right, and a white fan and a tray of small packets appear at left.2013-05-19May 19 20132013-05-19May 19 20132013-05-19A photograph of a satsang setting where a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange wrap and rudraksha mala sits on a red velvet cushioned seat, reaching forward to touch the head of a man in a white garment with a red-orange shawl and rudraksha beads.
