A photo of an indoor hall with red curtains and a white ceiling, where a bare-armed man in an orange-red saffron-toned dhoti-style wrap and a long rudraksha mala stands at right with a sandalwood-marked forehead and wrist malas, raising one hand in blessing toward a line of devotees. Beside him, a man in a white shirt and dark trousers with a red lanyard holds his hands in anjali. Several devotees in white and pastel saris stand with palms pressed together along the hall, and a projection screen shows a graphic behind them. Swamiji (probable) cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and saffron wrap while giving blessings.

A man in a saffron-orange dhoti with a gold border and a long orange-beaded rudraksha-style mala blesses a devotee by placing his hand on the devotee's head. The man has long swept-back hair and gold earrings; the page states Swamiji is at this event, and the appearance cues (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, beaded mala) are consistent, so he is a probable Swamiji. Nearby, devotees in white shirts and trousers with lanyards stand with hands folded in namaskar or bend forward in reverence. A shaven-headed priest with white tilak on his forehead and an orange shawl stands at left, and a row of women and men in white and saffron waits behind metal stanchions. A golden deity murti or throne canopy is visible in the background.2013-09-29September 25 20132013-09-25September 25 20132013-09-25A photograph inside a hall with white walls, ceiling lights and red curtains.
