A seated long-haired figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red-and-black tiger-striped cushions, a vibhuti or kumkum mark on the forehead and a rudraksha-style mala visible. A man in a white shirt, grey trousers and a teal-bordered cloth bends forward and places his hand on the seated figure's head in a blessing gesture. Behind them hangs a backdrop of yellow and red flower garlands arranged in an Om symbol, with orange marigold strands on the sides. A woman in a pale yellow kurta stands at the left edge. A small kalpataru-labelled item sits beside the throne. Two people are visible in the scene.

The seated figure sits on a gold-trimmed throne with a red cushioned back, framed by a floral garland of white jasmine and purple and yellow blooms. A blue draped backdrop and a microphone on a stand are visible, with a seated attendee in an orange top at the left edge. Two people are visible in the scene, and the blessing appears to be a head touch during a public gathering.2008-01-01January 04 20092009-01-04A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a red velvet seat beside an ornate gold throne-like chair and a lit oil lamp. He places both hands on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt with a lanyard, who has his palms pressed together in a gesture of respect. Several women in white and yellow stand in the background near a plain wall and window, and a shaved-headed devotee in orange sits at the lower edge. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), giving blessing to a devotee at a satsang setting; the orange robe, long hair and ornate throne are the qualifying cues.2010-12-02January 24 20092009-01-24January 01 20082008-01-01January 03 20092009-01-03A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi on the forehead, sitting on a red and black tiger-striped throne-like seat in front of an ornate gold backdrop with a deity relief. A kneeling man in a white shirt bows forward, his hand touching the seated figure's cheek, while a saffron-robed attendant stands at the left beside a floral arrangement of yellow marigolds, red flowers and purple orchids. The seated figure with those saffron robes, long hair and distinctive ornaments matches the presentation of the a person candidate, but the appearance is not clearly established from this view, so this is marked as unsure.2008-10-19July 07 20092009-07-07January 03 20092009-01-03
