May 21 20142014-05-21May 21 20142014-05-21A seated figure in an orange and green peacock-feather shawl with a pink flower garland extends a hand in blessing over the head of a woman in a wheelchair wearing an orange shawl and a white blouse. Behind them stands a golden trident-topped ornament and gilded lion-form seat carvings. Two orange-scarved attendants stand in the background of a hall with a blue mat and a framed plaque on the wall. The image is a photograph of a blessing moment during a satsang-style gathering, with a seated blessing figure appearing as a person by ornate peacock shawl and garland cues, though the face is not clearly visible.2014-05-10December 24 20092009-12-24A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold rudraksha-style necklace and a red bindi on his forehead, his bare shoulder visible, smiling and gesturing with an open hand toward an older woman with grey hair in a low ponytail, wearing a turquoise patterned sari and a small earring, who is leaning forward with folded hands. Both sit before ornate golden lion-shaped armrests or thrones, a carved wooden staff with a cobra head stands between them, a silver staff is at right, and red curtains form the backdrop. a person cues: saffron robe, rudraksha-style gold necklace, and swept-back hair; he is seated on a throne as a teacher receiving a devotee.2014-07-24A photograph of a seated man in a red turban and red-and-saffron robes, with a rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant, on an ornate golden throne flanked by carved lion heads. He smiles while extending his right hand to bless a woman in a white sari with a red border who bends forward with folded hands over a brass tray. A man in white and red stands beside her. Behind them stand silver and gold deity murtis, decorated with garlands and jewellery, and gold-tipped ritual lamps. The scene suggests a darshan or blessing setting. The man's appearance matches the page's claimed identity through several cues: a turban, saffron-red clothing, rudraksha and a gold necklace, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable).2015-09-16A smiling man in a red-orange shawl and rudraksha mala with ornate gold beads sits on a red throne cushion with a gold lion-head armrest. He wears a red bindi, extends his bare arm with open palm toward a woman in a white embroidered top with orange floral trim and silver bracelets, who raises her hand toward him.

He rests his right hand on the head of a woman in a white top and brown shawl who kneels with her palms joined, a pink flower in her hair. Behind them stand silver and gold ceremonial figures and a deity murti in pink, with flower arrangements and brass lamps at the edges. Appearance-based cues of long hair, turban, saffron-red clothing and a ceremonial necklace match the seated figure, so this is a probable Swamiji seated in a blessing, with a devotee receiving his touch.2015-09-16July 17 20152015-07-17A seated man in rust-orange robes and a saffron-coloured wrap sits on an ornate golden throne with a red cushion, wearing a long multi-strand rudraksha mala, a gold pendant, and a pink-and-white flower garland with green accents.
