A man in an orange robe with long swept-back dark hair and a dark rudraksha mala places his right hand on the head of a small toddler held by a woman in a grey embroidered top. A man in a white shirt stands behind, and a shaved-headed attendant in orange robes stands at right, with a silver tray of gold-coloured offerings in the foreground. Several other people in white are visible in the background.

A long-haired man in an orange garment with a yellow border, bare-shouldered, places his hand on the head of a devotee; his distinctive long swept-back hair and orange robe are the appearance cues for a probable Swamiji. Beside him a shaven-headed man in orange robes holds a silver tray with offerings. In the foreground, women in saris and a woman holding a baby with folded hands and a young child stand watching. Behind them other devotees and attendees are visible near glass display cases.

A second adult in a white shirt and glasses leans in, and a man with folded hands stands at the left edge. Behind them a bald man in white dhoti-style clothing with a gold necklace stands near a colourful striped pillar, and a camera on a tripod is visible at left.

The long-haired man in orange with rudraksha malas is a probable Swamiji in person, performing a blessing on the child.2010-10-12A photograph inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and hanging lights. A man in orange robes with a long black rudraksha mala and a red tilak stands center, placing his hands on the head of a small child lying against a woman in an orange floral sari. Around them, devotees in white shirts and white sarees stand with palms pressed together in prayer, and another monk in orange robes with a bare shaved head holds a brass vessel. Other people stand behind in the crowd. The orange-robed central figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive rudraksha adornments, a probable match for the page's Swamiji, so the appearance cue is strong enough to label him probable.2010-10-30July 18 20132013-07-18November 06 20112011-11-06December 18 20102010-12-18June 27 20102010-06-27
