A photograph of a long-haired figure in red-orange robes and a brown wrap, with a dark red bindi and a large beaded necklace, placing a palm on the head of a devotee in a yellow t-shirt and a red-orange cloth draped over his shoulders. A red velvet backdrop hangs behind them. On the right, a man with a shaved head wears a white dhoti with a gold border and a rudraksha mala, and holds a small red cloth. The robed figure appears to be a person, based on the long swept hair, saffron-toned ornate clothing and rudraksha-style beads, and the scene looks like a blessing given during a satsang setting.

Beside the seat stands a wooden box of packaged sweets, a folded orange towel rests on the cushion, a white fan stands behind, and a man in white with an orange-and-red sash stands at the right edge. Only the two central figures and the partially visible standing man and a seated head at the bottom are physical people.2013-05-19A photograph of a seated man in an orange-and-black outfit receiving a blessing as a man in an orange sannyasi-style shawl and orange garment places his hand on his head. The blessed man wears a red-and-black beaded rudraksha-style mala around his neck and an orange shawl over black clothing, with bangles on his wrist. The blessing figure has long swept-back hair, gold hoop earring, a rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, and his shawl is draped over his bare shoulder. A red draped curtain forms the backdrop, with a pink flower arrangement at the right edge and other seated devotees in white clothing in the background.2012-07-14A photograph of a seated figure with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and an orange-red shawl over an ochre garment, smiling as a man in a white shirt kneels before him and drapes a red cloth over his shoulders. A third man stands at right in white dhoti with a yellow border, rudraksha mala, and a red shawl folded over his arm, with a deep red velvet curtain behind. The seated figure's long hair, saffron-toned shawl and ochre clothing match the distinctive presentation cues, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in a ceremonial setting being honoured with a shawl.2013-05-19
