Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklaces match the page's note that he is present. Facing him, a man in white shirt and white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and gold bracelet joins his palms in namaskar, smiling. Behind them a man in a white shirt holds the blessing gesture area, and a monk in saffron stands at right holding a silver tray with offerings. A projector screen and a red-and-yellow banner hang on the pale pink wall behind.2011-02-27October 02 20132013-10-02A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands close to a smiling figure in saffron-orange robes, garlanding him with a white flower garland edged with red and yellow bands. The garlanded figure has long dark swept-back hair, a gold necklace, a beaded rudraksha-style mala, a gold armlet on the upper arm, and a tilak mark on the forehead. A red curtain hangs behind, and a partly visible person in orange stands at the left edge. Two or three people are visible in the scene.2012-08-17August 03 20132013-08-03Indoor hall with red curtains and a ceiling fan. 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.2013-09-29
