Both are in profile against a plain beige wall with an air-conditioning unit behind them; a third person is partly visible at the far left edge. The orange-clad figure's long hair, shawl and ornaments match the page's Swamiji cues, so this is a probable Swamiji in person giving a blessing, and the blessing is the physical act shown.2011-12-11August 29 20062006-08-29A photograph of a bare-chested man with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, layered gold necklaces, rudraksha beaded bracelets and a gold armband, with a red bindi on his forehead. He is smiling as he places his hand on the head of an older man in a cream kurta with a rudraksha mala, who clasps his hands. A man in white clothing stands behind them, and another man with a red forehead mark and orange cloth watches nearby. The ornate cues of the long-haired figure are distinctive, so this is a probable appearance-based candidate for a person in the act of blessing a devotee. Other visible details include a bowl or tray at the lower right and a colourful background of ashram decorations. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan moment.2012-04-14A candid photograph at an evening indoor gathering. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a pendant, wearing a visitor badge and a red forehead mark, gestures with an open hand toward a man on the right with long, swept-back black hair wearing a saffron-orange garment that leaves one shoulder bare, who smiles and holds his hand out in return. Several other people stand or sit behind them, and one person in a yellow garment is partly visible at the lower left. The right-hand figure shows long hair and an orange garment, a presentation consistent with the candidate, but the appearance is not distinctive enough for a firm identification.2009-12-10A photograph of an indoor gathering in which a long-haired figure in an orange robe presses both palms to the face of a seated man in a white kurta with a brown rudraksha mala. The robed figure has long black hair and a bare arm extended, and the seated man's eyes are closed as he receives the blessing. Behind them a man in an orange shawl over white clothing stands with a rudraksha mala, and further back several people in white clothes stand with hands folded in prayer. A pale carpeted hall and a table with small items are visible at right. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan moment. Only the robed figure's appearance does not clearly establish identity, so the candidate is unsure.2006-08-29
