A photograph of an indoor hall with beige walls and a brown door. A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a rudraksha mala of large beads and a reddish-orange garment, reaches one arm up to place his palm on the forehead of a short-haired, older Western man in a white sleeveless top with a name badge. Two other hands are raised near the recipient, and a few seated people in white and blurred figures are in the background. The page indicates Swamiji is present, and the figure with long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-orange garment is a probable Swamiji candidate, so this is an in-person appearance candidate given the cues.

A photo of a blessing moment indoors. A person with short dark hair, bare-shouldered in a rust-red and gold garment with heavy gold bead necklaces, reaches forward and places a hand on the forehead of a man with short white hair. The man wears a white t-shirt, a red and white beaded mala, and a wristwatch, holding one palm up in a hand gesture. Behind them, a man in white with an orange-red shawl stands in a softly lit hall with dark wood panels and white curtains. The gold-clad figure appears to be a presiding figure with the appearance of a person in a ceremonial role, though the appearance cues are not conclusive.2013-12-17December 07 20132013-12-07December 07 20132013-12-07December 08 20132013-12-08March 26th 20142014-03-26March 08 20142014-03-08A photograph of a blessing exchange indoors. A man with long dark hair in a bun, bare-shouldered in a rust-brown cloth with a gold ceremonial necklace of beads, presses his right palm to the forehead of a shorter, grey-haired man in a white kurta with a red and white beaded mala around his neck. A woman in white sits blurred in the lower right, and a pale curtain and dark wall form the background. The gesture resembles a padapuja-style blessing, with the standing figure giving the blessing and the other receiving it. Swamiji (probable): the figure in rust-brown with long hair, bun and gold beaded necklace; he is giving the blessing.2013-12-17Indoor photo of a long-haired man in orange and gold robes with a rudraksha mala and a white tilak on his forehead, placing his palm on the forehead of a smiling bald man in a white t-shirt with a small dark pendant necklace. a person: the orange-robed man with long swept-back hair, gold-trimmed saffron cloth and rudraksha beads matches the visible cues.

The recipient holds his hands in anjali mudra and wears a rudraksha bracelet. Behind them are beige padded panels, a gold-coloured fabric and a red cloth at the left edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, ornate clothing and ceremonial beads, so Swamiji (probable) is the appearance-based label for this in-person blessing moment.2013-12-03
