A seated figure in a rust-orange turban, orange-red shawl with gold border, and a long red-and-white rudraksha-style garland touches the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt with palms pressed together in namaste. The seated figure holds a small yellow card and wears gold bangles and a gold ring. A gold ceremonial vessel with a snake-like finial and a red cloth sit at the left edge. Palm fronds and trees appear in the background.

A photograph of a seated figure with a swept-back dark hair, white vibhuti horizontal marks and a red kumkum dot on the forehead, bare-shouldered and wearing a deep red shawl with gold border and a long gold-beaded necklace. He reaches to touch the crown of a man kneeling in front of him; the man wears a white kurta, a thin gold chain, and has his palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them stand a golden lion-headed throne armrest, orange and blue drapes, and a garland of yellow and red flowers. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a ceremonial gold necklace and a shawl, matching the cues for the page's named teacher, so the appearance is consistent with that identity in person.2013-11-11August 09 20152015-08-09A seated woman in a brown and gold turban and gold-bordered sari, wearing a red flower garland and gold bangles, places her right hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala. Her hand is pressed to his head in blessing while she holds a small silver cup. Behind her a red and gold cushioned seat and a large pictured portrait backdrop are visible. In the background stands a bald man with white forehead markings, a beaded necklace and a gold shawl. A wall air-conditioner unit and a cream-coloured interior complete the room.2013-11-02A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala at his neck and a white forehead mark, placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in white clothes with a rudraksha mala and folded hands. Behind them stands a silver trident (trishul) and gold ornaments on a dais, with a bamboo and green-leaf backdrop. The kneeling man bows in a blessing gesture, holding a folded paper. Appearance cues on the seated figure include saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, but the figure is not confidently identified from the photo alone.2014-10-12July 27 20142014-07-27September 28 20142014-09-28July 25 20142014-07-25December 26 20142014-12-26May 11 20142014-05-11September 27 20152015-09-27May 03 20142014-05-03July 25 20142014-07-25
