Photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange wrap and orange turban with a red tilak on the forehead, bare-chested, placing a hand on the forehead of a man in white kneeling before him. Two of the figure's arms are visible. Standing behind are several men in white shirts and white dhotis; one older man wears a rudraksha mala and an ID badge, and others have their hands folded or raised in namaskar. A small hand drum and a red cloth hang at the left, and flowers lie at the lower left. Probable Swamiji (saffron wrap, orange turban and bare chest, seated and giving blessing to a devotee); the appearance is distinctive but the figure is partly obscured, so this is a probable identification from visible cues only. Appears to depict a darshan blessing session.

Photograph of a energy darshan blessing. A bare-chested figure in an orange saffron turban and orange wrap, with a pink-and-white flower garland on the turban, reaches forward and presses his fingers to the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti. Flower petals scatter in the air. Around them, several people in white clothing stand watching, a girl in a white dress with beads holds petals, and a man in white clothes stands near a wall with red hangings. The orange-clad figure is a person by appearance cues: swept-back hair under a saffron turban, saffron clothing and a bare chest, with the page noting this was the energy darshan session.2003-03-16March 16 20032003-03-16A photograph of an energy darshan session in a bright hall. A figure in an orange-saffron turban and orange wrap, with a white flower garland, leans forward and presses his palm to the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt and a red-brown rudraksha mala. Behind them, a man in white kurta stands watching with hands together, a smiling man in a white shirt with a red cord looks on, and a smiling woman in white with a yellow shawl raises her palms. Swamiji (probable): the turbaned figure's orange turban, orange wrap and garland match the page's claim, so this is an appearance-based candidate. Five people visible.2003-04-20April 20 20032003-04-20A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a matching orange turban, bare-chested with a mala around the neck, placing both hands on the head of a kneeling devotee in white clothes whose palms are pressed together.
