A crowded tented event where a long-haired person in orange clothing and a multi-strand garland of white, pink and red flowers stands at left, leaning toward a line of devotees. Several women in red and orange saris receive or offer small folded packets and envelopes. A bald young man in an orange robe wears a wooden rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, and other men with white tilak marks and gold chains stand nearby. A gold-wrapped object sits in the foreground on a red cloth. Spectators and a camera crew fill the background under white tent fabric.

He wears a pink and white flower garland, a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style red bead mala, and extends his hand toward a kneeling woman in a white sari with red border who bows her head. Around them, devotees in saffron, orange, white and red garments stand and kneel, including a woman in a red sari, a young girl in green, and a shaved-headed man in orange. A small white fan and a camera on a tripod appear in the background. The setting is a red-draped hall.2016-05-01A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne, wearing a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with gold beaded necklaces and rudraksha beads, smiling and extending a hand to a young woman in a white dress who offers a small silver vessel. Behind the throne are garlands of yellow marigolds and red roses and a golden deity murti. Smiling women in white saris and orange-bordered shawls stand nearby, and young men in white shirts with rudraksha malas watch with hands folded. Partial heads of onlookers appear in the foreground. This is a Swamiji (probable) candidate appearing in person, identified by the saffron-orange clothing, long swept-back hair and ceremonial gold necklaces.2015-07-31A photograph of a Kalpataru darshan event under a red tent. In the foreground, a figure in a saffron-orange turban and an orange-brown wrap, with long dreadlocked hair and a white and green flower garland, extends a hand to receive an offering from a kneeling man in a pink shirt who holds bananas. Behind them, devotees in orange and red saris and a man in an orange robe with a gold-coloured necklace stand close together. A young boy in red and a woman in a white outfit with a red shawl are nearby. A cameraman films at the upper left. The gold-coloured item at centre appears to be a ritual object.

She bows with hands folded and holds a folded white paper. Behind them stand a group of women in orange and red saris, several wearing lanyards, and a brass oil lamp stands beside the throne. A white fan or cooler sits in the background on a red wall. The man's appearance with long hair, saffron clothing and mala beads matches the page's claim, so the label is probable: Swamiji (probable), giving blessing to a devotee.2016-04-28October 26 20142014-10-26A seated figure on a gold-and-red throne with long dark hair, a white flower garland and a multicoloured garland, wearing an orange cloth, hands extended to accept a folded paper from a man in a white shirt who kneels with palms joined. Nearby, a shaved-headed man in orange cloth and a white-clad man wearing a rudraksha mala and gold-bordered dhoti stand on a red carpet under a red tent. Women in cream and white saris with red-bordered shawls stand in the background, and a stack of printed booklets lies on the gold throne arm. The scene reads as a darshan line inside a tent, with a gold lion-headed armrest in the foreground.2016-05-02April 26 20162016-04-26
