A seated man in saffron-orange robes receives a forehead touch from a fair-haired man in a white shirt and an orange-patterned shawl, whose hands are raised in front of him. The seated man wears a multicolour garland of white, yellow, green and red flowers, a red thread on his wrist and a red tilak on his forehead, and sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne in front of an ornate silver backdrop. The setting is a stage with a dark blue background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long dark hair, orange robes and a garland, and is presented on a throne, consistent with the page's claim.

He sits on an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cloth beside him, extending his hand toward a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl who is bowing or seated in front of him.

The dreadlocked figure is an appearance-based a person candidate: long dreadlocked hair, a flower garland and a rust-brown garment. Behind them a gold-and-silver deity murti and silver ceremonial stand are decorated with red, pink and purple garlands. A woman in orange with a rudraksha mala stands beside the blessing, and a few devotees are visible in the background, including a woman in blue and another in white.2018-04-23April 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesDecember 09 20122012-12-09 +1 copiesFebruary 24 20162016-02-24September 22 20172017-09-22 +1 copiesA photograph of a padapuja ritual. A man with long, swept-back black hair, wearing a rust-orange dhoti and shawl, a red and white flower garland, and a rudraksha mala, sits on a silver ornate throne with a leopard-print cushion. A devotee in white kurta and dhoti kneels before him in a reverent posture, hands raised to the forehead and touching the seated figure's feet. Behind them, seated devotees wear orange and white, and a large screen and white draped curtains stand in the background. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, saffron-orange robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garland are consistent with the a person cues, though appearance alone does not confirm identity; the kneeling devotee is in white ritual clothing.2012-12-20Stage photograph of a dimly lit, blue-and-purple toned ceremony.
