May 18 20122012-05-18A photograph of devotees receiving blessings indoors against a pale yellow wall with colourful paper garlands and balloons at the top left. A seated woman in an orange-brown garment with a rudraksha mala and a bindi, her forehead marked with white ash, holds a brass vessel and offers something from it to a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who bends forward with cupped hands. A young girl in a checked top and a bystander in white stand nearby. Two standing men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas and gold pendants stand to the right, one talking on a phone. Several onlookers in white shirts crowd the background. The scene shows a ritual blessing or prasadam distribution. Watermarked images are not described further.2012-05-18June 24 20142014-06-24 +2 copiesPhotograph inside a bare white-walled room during a house visit, with a crowd of devotees pressing in.

A bare-shouldered man with a long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a deep maroon-red garment stands at centre with his head bowed as people reach toward him. Beside him a shaved-headed attendant in an orange-saffron cloth looks on. On the right a man in a white shirt holds an orange cloth, and women in white and orange saris with garlands stand nearby. Probable Swamiji: the centre figure shows long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and ornate dark red clothing, matching the page's claim, so this is a probable Swamiji in person; the figure is receiving or giving blessings in a devotional gathering.2014-07-04 +1 copiesIndoor satsang scene in a hall with red curtains and framed pictures.
