A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes with long swept-back black hair, a white tilak and red bindi on his forehead, seated on an ornate gold-carved throne with red-striped cushions against a green wall. He raises his right hand toward the head of a man in white kurta and dhoti who bows forward with his head lowered. A third man in an orange-trimmed white garment stands at left, and another person in patterned clothing stands at the right edge. Green-leaved white floral decorations hang at the top left. The seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long swept-back hair and saffron robes, presiding in the role of a teacher giving blessings to a devotee.

A figure in orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, sits on a red-cushioned gold throne and rests both hands on the head of a kneeling devotee in white kurta clothing with palms pressed together. A second person in orange robes kneels at the lower right, and a gold ornate backdrop with garlands of yellow, red and purple flowers surrounds the throne. Marigold petals lie on the stage floor and a small brass vessel sits at the bottom edge. The orange-robed figure on the throne fits the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, orange clothing, rudraksha mala and gold ornament, shown here in a blessing gesture.2008-12-25A seated figure in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe with long, wavy black hair sits on a red-cushioned gilded throne, smiling as he presses his palm to the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti who has his hands joined in namaste. A brass tray of fruit, including apples, bananas and grapes, sits on a white pedestal beside them, and a rolled white paper is held in the seated figure's lap. Standing around them are men in white shirts and orange-bordered dhotis, one wearing an orange shawl and another a yellow shawl with a rudraksha mala, and a bald man in a white shirt wearing an orange shawl stands behind. The setting is a plain room with a navy backdrop and a gilded throne on the right.

A kneeling man in a white shirt bows forward, his hand touching the seated figure's cheek, while a saffron-robed attendant stands at the left beside a floral arrangement of yellow marigolds, red flowers and purple orchids. The seated figure with those saffron robes, long hair and distinctive ornaments matches the presentation of the a person candidate, but the appearance is not clearly established from this view, so this is marked as unsure.2008-10-19
