A seated man in an orange saffron dhoti-style wrap and a long rudraksha mala sits on a red velvet cushioned seat before a golden ornate backdrop, smiling and raising his hand. Facing him, a man in a white kurta stands with his hand raised, holding a silver ritual staff or rod. The setting appears to be a satsang or darshan hall with draped pink and white fabric behind them. Appearance-based cues including long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads suggest a person, seated as the recipient of the gesture; identity is uncertain from appearance alone. Two physical people are visible.

August 31 20142014-08-31A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a bare shoulder, long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead mark and rudraksha malas on the chest, smiling and extending an arm toward a standing man in a white kurta with an orange shawl who raises both hands near his face. The seated figure sits beside a golden lion-form seat and a silver staff with a ring finial, in a temple-like hall with orange and white lattice panels and an air conditioner. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in saffron robes with rudraksha malas and long hair, giving a blessing during a pada-puja style ritual. A woman in a white sari with a forehead mark is partly visible at the right edge.2014-09-05A photograph of a satsang where a man in orange sits on a cushioned seat before a red curtain, his right hand resting on the forehead of a seated devotee. The man in orange has long dark hair swept back, a white vertical tilak with a red bindi, a gold earring, a thick mala of rudraksha beads, and an orange draped shawl with a gold border. He is the presumed a person, giving a blessing. The devotee wears a white shirt and bows his head, while a man in white with a black rudraksha mala sits behind and a man in a black shirt is at the left edge. Four people are visible.2012-07-06A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered cloth draped over his shoulder, wearing a rudraksha mala and a white vertical tilak on his forehead, reaches out to touch the head of a man in a white shirt and white trousers who has raised one arm. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and a smiling expression, holding a white beaded mala in his other hand. Behind them is a red draped curtain, with other seated people in white and orange clothing and a man with folded hands at left.2012-07-06A seated man in an orange and gold silk shawl with a red-and-gold border and a long rudraksha mala around his neck places his hands on the forehead of a man in a white shirt, blessing him with a touch. The seated man has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and eyes closed, and is smiling. Behind him is a brass oil lamp and a decorated wall with a painted image of a goddess in red and orange. A partially visible bald man in white stands at the left edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, orange silk and a rudraksha mala, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable match.2011-11-29September 03 20142014-09-03A photograph of a satsang where a seated man with long swept-back dark hair, white forehead tilak, gold earring, multiple rudraksha malas, and an orange-saffron shawl over bare shoulders extends his right arm and hand toward a young man in a white shirt with a visitor badge who raises his palms in return. A seated man in a white shirt with a black mala watches behind them, and a red draped backdrop hangs behind the group. The seated figure's cues (long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, saffron shawl) are distinctive, and the page places Swamiji at this satsang, so he is marked as a probable identification.2012-07-06July 07 20122012-07-07July 06 20122012-07-06May 09 20122012-05-09July 07 20162016-07-07 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron cloth with a long rudraksha mala and white tripundra on his forehead, his long hair swept back, placing his right palm on the forehead of a standing man in a white striped shirt who raises his hands in a blessing gesture.
