Indoor temple-hall scene during a darshan line. A figure in a rust-orange shawl over an orange garment, with long dark hair in a bun and gold bangles and necklaces, places a hand on the head of a man in a white shirt with a red shawl who has his hands folded in namaste. A younger woman in a white t-shirt, seen from behind, also stands with palms pressed together. Behind them, people line up along a stanchion, and sannyasins in orange robes stand near the edges. At the far back, a decorated altar with a large golden throne and deity murti is set against a red curtain. The shawl-wearing figure is an appearance-based candidate but the cues are not sufficient to confirm identity, so the role is given as a person giving blessing.

A man in a saffron-orange turban, orange-and-gold robe and a long rudraksha mala stands smiling, his right palm raised over the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt with hands joined in namaste. Behind them, devotees in white clothes and folded hands wait in a line behind metal stanchions, and a woman in a yellow sari stands at the right. Probable Swamiji (the man in the saffron turban with rudraksha mala and gold-edged robe, presiding over the blessing) is present in person. A cameraman's lens is visible at the right edge. About ten people are visible.2013-09-19March 20 20132013-03-20September 24 20132013-09-24A photograph of a formal line of devotees greeting a man in a saffron-orange turban, orange robe with gold border, and a long rudraksha mala. He stands at right with one palm raised in blessing while a row of people in white shirts and dhotis on the left stand with palms pressed together in namaste. Other devotees in orange and white stand behind metal stanchions along a hall with ceiling lights and a camera operator at the right edge. The man's appearance (turban, orange clothing, rudraksha mala and gold border) is consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable identification from appearance only.2013-09-19October 31AFP 20132013-10-31 +1 copies
