A photograph of two men seated in conversation on a blue-carpeted stage before a blue curtain, with scattered confetti on the floor. The man on the right wears an orange saffron robe draped over his torso, layered with white flower garlands and red and pink flower garlands, and has long swept-back dark hair. He sits cross-legged and gestures with his hands while speaking. The man on the left, kneeling and facing him, wears a white kurta and white flower garland and is listening intently. A woman in a white sari stands at the upper left, and a large white pillar draped with a green and yellow bead garland is at the right edge.

June 22 20082008-06-22June 22 20082008-06-22A seated man in an orange saffron shawl and white garland sits on a white cushioned seat on a blue-carpeted stage, his hands resting on the head of a kneeling devotee in white shirt and white dhoti. The kneeling devotee bows forward with hands at the seated man's feet area, scattered flower petals and confetti on the carpet. Behind them, standing people in white garments and orange clothing wear jasmine and marigold garlands, a girl in a white and green outfit stands near them, and a blue backdrop hangs behind. The scene appears to show a blessing or darshan at a spiritual gathering, with the seated man's bare shoulder and dark hair visible. A devotee-like appearance with distinctive saffron shawl and garlands supports a probable identification as a person, though the appearance is only partly visible.2005-12-11June 22 20082008-06-22February 24 20072007-02-24September 23 20062006-09-23A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair, wearing a thick gold necklace and a white flower garland, with a hand raised on the head of a man in a white shirt who bows with palms pressed together. A standing older man in white shirt and white dhoti, with a rudraksha mala and wristwatch, watches with palms joined. The backdrop is covered in white jasmine-like flowers and red blossoms. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable) for the seated figure in orange robe, long hair, gold necklace and garland, a ceremonial blessing role.2006-09-17June 22 20082008-06-22December 24 20092009-12-24A photograph of a ceremony on a stage decorated with white and orange flower garlands and a large flower-covered throne-like seat. A long-haired man in an orange saffron robe sits on a red-cushioned throne, smiling and reaching forward to hold the hands of a person in white who kneels before him. Around the stage, seated people in orange robes hold tall wooden staffs topped with orange cloth, and a dark-robed devotee sits in the foreground beside a woman with long dark hair. A probable Swamiji figure is present: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a gold necklace on the throne. The stage is lit warmly and the scene reads as a Guru Poornima style honouring ceremony.2006-07-11December 24 20092009-12-24A photograph of a man in an orange saffron robe with a long white and pink-purple flower garland sitting and placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt who kneels before him, bowing forward.

White drapes and a red curtain appear in the background, with a white fan and potted plant at right.
