September 23 20122012-09-23Photograph of a devotee bowing his head forward while a man in an orange-red dhoti and shawl, with long swept-back hair, a tripundra marking on his forehead, a multi-strand gold bead necklace and a rudraksha-style orange mala, places his right hand on the devotee's head in a blessing gesture. He smiles. Behind them, other devotees wait, a man in white stands near a gold-decorated seat or throne, and a red curtain and stage area are visible. The blessing figure matches the appearance cues of the a person candidate, so this is an appearance-based probable identification. The devotee wears a white checked shirt.2013-03-31A photograph in a red-draped hall: a long-haired figure in orange robes, a red shawl and a gold-bead necklace with rudraksha-style beads sits on a red velvet throne, smiling with eyes lowered, while a man in white with a red shawl bows forward toward his lap. A second man in white dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala and a red-and-gold trim, stands at right adjusting red fabric. Dark red velvet drapery forms the background. The seated figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: swept-back long hair, saffron-orange robes and ornate gold beads, with a bindi. Three physical people are visible.2013-05-19September 26 20122012-09-26May 19 20132013-05-19May 19 20132013-05-19September 23 20122012-09-23June 28 20142014-06-28A photo of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a white forehead band with a red bindi, wearing multi-strand beaded necklaces, a gold pendant and beaded armlets. He raises his right hand in a blessing gesture, touching the head of an older man in white who stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them a younger man, a boy and another older man in white stand near a decorated stage with orange and gold drapes, a red arched backdrop and flower garlands. Presence of a probable Swamiji is indicated by the orange robes, long hair, rudraksha-style beaded mala and ceremonial gold necklace, though his face is not used for identification. The setting suggests a blessing or darshan moment at an indoor programme.2012-09-21April 05 20122012-04-05March 01 20132013-03-01March 30 20132013-03-30
