A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-orange shawl and orange-red cloth, wearing a beaded necklace of rust-coloured beads and long dark hair swept back, extending his right hand to place it on the head of a kneeling man in a white kurta with a red waist cloth and a rudraksha-style mala. The seated figure has long hair, a rust-orange wrap and a beaded necklace, so the appearance cues are a probable match to Swamiji, who is giving a blessing to a devotee. Behind them, several women in white and cream clothing stand watching, and a bald man in white kneels nearby. A white cooler stands at left, with maroon curtains and a stage platform with a chair at right. The scene looks like a blessing during a seated darshan in a hall.

Behind them a woman in a white outfit with an orange lanyard stands with hands folded, and a few people sit in the background. Red velvet drapes and a cream wall frame the scene.

Behind them, an attendant in white dhoti and orange sash stands near a white air-conditioning unit and red curtains, with a red-cushioned seat and an orange towel in the foreground. The seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long hair and rudraksha mala, giving a blessing to a devotee at a satsang-style event.2013-05-24A seated figure with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, wearing an orange-brown draped garment, reaches out to touch the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a red shawl and rudraksha beads. The man raises his left hand palm-out. Two bald men in white with red shawls stand in the background beside a window and an electric fan, with a red-upholstered chair at left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-orange drape are the appearance cues, and the page places him at the satsang; he is giving a blessing to a devotee.2013-05-19April 01 20132013-04-01A photograph of a satsang-style interaction indoors. A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing an orange-brown cloth draped over his shoulder and a thick braided rope-like necklace of beads, is seated on a dark red cushioned seat and extends his right hand to touch the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl and a rudraksha mala. The standing man has both palms raised in a receiving gesture. Behind them, two people in white dhotis with orange shawls stand near an air conditioner, and a partially visible person sits at lower centre. A deep red curtain hangs at upper right. The seated man has distinctive long hair, a braided necklace and orange-brown robes, a presentation compatible with the page's reference, but his appearance alone is not enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role as the seated teacher.2013-05-24
