A seated man in saffron clothing with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala sits on a red velvet throne with gold trim, extending his hand to give a small object to a young child in a pink top and blue shorts. A man in a grey t-shirt with an orange shawl kneels beside the child, holding out his cupped hands. Burgundy velvet drapes hang in the background. The seated figure's long hair, saffron garments and rudraksha beads suggest a person, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone. Visible people: three.

February 28 20132013-02-28A seated man in saffron-orange draped clothing and multiple beaded rudraksha-style malas with gold ornaments rests his hand on the head of a small toddler in a checked shirt and orange shorts. The man, seated on a red velvet throne-like chair in front of a gold-ornate backdrop and purple drapes, smiles and holds a small object in his other hand. A lap-level adult arm supports the child at left. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, swept-back long hair, and heavy beaded malas with gold necklace are the qualifying cues for a seated blessing (darshan-style) scene in an ashram setting.2013-02-27February 18 20132013-02-18February 28 20132013-02-28A photograph of a man in an orange saffron robe with a rudraksha mala and white tilak on his forehead, long dark hair swept back, smiling as he places his palm on the head of a small child in a yellow outfit. A seated adult in a green-and-white striped shirt leans in from the right. The man holds small wrapped sweets or prasad in his other hand, and a child's hand reaches toward them. Behind is a plain cream wall and a black speaker. The man shows distinctive saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and long hair, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate blessing the child in person.2013-02-22February 27 20132013-02-27July 02 20122012-07-02A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a swept-back hairstyle and a white tilak on his forehead sits on a red-and-gold throne draped in silver-patterned fabric, reaching down to touch the head of a small girl in a pink dress who kneels before him with a rudraksha mala hanging from her neck. Behind him, a man in orange robes with a ceremonial necklace and a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala stand near marigold garlands. A man in white and a bald head appear in the lower foreground. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, identified by his saffron robes, swept-back hair, rudraksha-adorned presence and throne seat, in a blessing gesture with the child.2009-09-11Photograph of a ceremonial moment in a decorated hall with gold-embossed panels and flower garlands. A seated man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange robe and a large garland of red, yellow, purple and white flowers, and smiles as a small child in a pink top and pink trousers reaches toward him. A second man in an orange robe and orange head wrap, with gold necklaces and glasses, holds the child steady beside him. A woman with dark hair is partly visible at the left edge. Red flower petals are scattered on the cushion. The seated man's long hair, orange robe and garland match the page's note that Swamiji appears, so he is a probable candidate; the standing priest is not a candidate.2009-12-24A photograph of a satsang with a red draped backdrop. A man with long, swept-back dark hair, a white forehead mark and a long orange robe over an orange garment, wearing a rudraksha mala, sits on a dark red cushioned seat and hands red items to a young girl in a pale yellow top who extends her hands. Swamiji (probable) is identified by these cues: long hair, an orange robe, a rudraksha mala and a seated teaching role. Behind them, a bald man in white sits on the floor, a man in a white shirt and a green-vested person are visible, and a woman in pink stands near a microphone. Small white paper is in his other hand.2012-07-02A seated man with long dark hair wears a red and white flower garland and an orange garment with a yellow border, gesturing with one arm toward a small girl in a magenta dress and bindi who stands in front of him. Behind her, a woman in an orange sari with gold border and a rudraksha mala smiles and reaches toward the child. A bowl of wrapped sweets sits on a tray in the lower left, and an orange cloth lies over the armrest of a maroon seat. A wall air conditioner and a window are visible in the background, along with a few other people in orange and white clothing.2013-05-28A seated man with long dark hair, an orange-brown wrap over bare shoulders, and a long orange-beaded mala draped across his chest sits on a red cushioned seat, facing right with a white vertical forehead mark. He reaches forward with a gold bracelet on his wrist to take a small clear glass or cup from a boy in a red checked shirt, who leans in to hand it over. Behind them a blurred woman in a pale sari and another person are visible in the room.2013-02-24
