A seated man with long dark hair pulled back, wearing a rust-orange draped garment, red-and-white cloth beneath him, and beaded rudraksha-style malas on his wrist and neck, extends his hand to touch the forehead of a curly-haired young child in a white kurta. Behind them a second man in white with a white forehead mark and beaded necklace looks on, and a yellow sheet and flower lie on the floor. Adults and a dark-haired woman are at the edge of the frame in a bright hall with red drapes. The seated man is consistent with the a person appearance cues of long hair and saffron-toned clothing with rudraksha malas, though the image is not conclusive; he is blessing the child in what appears to be a darshan-style moment.

A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange shawl with a red-and-gold-cord rudraksha necklace and a green-beaded garland places a hand on the forehead of a young boy in a white t-shirt and name badge. Behind them, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a yellow-and-red border holds a fruit offering, and a shaved-headed attendant in orange clothing and rudraksha mala stands at left. Green lemon-like fruits and a small orange fruit lie on a tray. Background figures include a woman in teal and onlookers near red curtains and a cream wall with an air conditioner.2013-05-12A photograph of a seated man in a rust-orange robe with a gold border and a long rudraksha mala, with white vibhuti marks and a red bindi on his forehead, placing his right hand on the forehead of a young boy in a white t-shirt who has his eyes closed and hands raised. A smiling woman in white with a rudraksha mala watches from behind the boy. The setting is an indoor hall with pale wall panels and a bright screen behind them. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in the orange robe shows long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and ornate ceremonial clothing, and is shown blessing the boy.2013-12-13July 14 20132013-07-14May 14 20132013-05-14July 13 20132013-07-13A seated figure in an orange-saffron wrap with long dark hair tied back and a rudraksha mala draped over the shoulder extends his right hand in blessing toward a young blond boy in a white T-shirt, who holds a folded white paper in both hands. Beside him, a blond girl in a lilac top watches, and behind them a woman in white with a rudraksha mala looks on. The seated figure sits on a red patterned cushion beside a garlanded altar with colourful flower garlands and a golden deity murti. Other women in saris stand in the background of a hall. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with Swamiji (probable), based on the long swept-back hair, saffron-orange wrap and rudraksha malas, and he is shown in the role of blessing a child during darshan.2013-07-14A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair and a ponytail, wearing an orange-saffron shawl and a beaded orange-brown necklace, smiling as he places his right hand on the head of a young boy in a black shirt who has his palms pressed together.
