July 23 20122012-07-23A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a red-and-white headband, sandalwood tilak and red bindi, and a rudraksha mala with ornate gold necklace, smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a bowing devotee. The devotee wears a white kurta, orange shawl and glasses, with hands held in anjali. They sit on a red-cushioned gold throne in a marble-walled room with a metal railing. A cameraman in the background films the blessing. Gold and red ornate detailing frames the throne.2012-07-23May 09 20122012-05-09November 26 20112011-11-26March 08 20142014-03-08A seated guru in an orange-red turban and red-and-gold shawl, wearing layered beaded rudraksha-style malas, places his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white t-shirt with his palms pressed together in namaste. The guru sits on a gilded throne-like seat with ornate gold carving, beside a red curtain and a small tray holding apples. A man in white ritual clothing with a red sash walks in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated guru wears an orange-red turban, layered malas and a red-and-gold shawl while receiving a devotee's respect from a throne, which is consistent with the page's reference to a darshan event. Photo caption2015-10-25A photograph of two men in a richly decorated room with red drapes and gold-carved furniture. On the right, a seated figure in a rust-red turban and saffron-orange robe with a yellow shawl and a long multi-strand brown bead necklace touches the forehead of a bearded man on the left. The bearded man wears a plain white kurta and an orange scarf printed with dark script, and holds a yellow fruit in his hands. A gold throne and a lit golden pillar stand behind them.2015-10-25A seated man with long dark hair pulled back, wearing a rust-red shawl over his shoulder and a gold-toned chain with rudraksha beads, places his palm on the forehead of a short-haired man in a white long-sleeved top. The recipient holds his hands in anjali mudra and wears a rudraksha bracelet. Behind them are beige padded panels, a gold-coloured fabric and a red cloth at the left edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, ornate clothing and ceremonial beads, so Swamiji (probable) is the appearance-based label for this in-person blessing moment.2013-12-03October 25 20152015-10-25A photograph of a seated saffron-clad teacher placing his right palm on the forehead of a bald, grey-haired man in a white shirt with an orange shawl, who has his hands raised in a gesture of receiving blessing. The teacher wears orange robes, a white tripundra forehead mark with a red dot, a rudraksha mala necklace, rudraksha armbands and a gold-buckled belt, and smiles. Behind them a second orange-robed figure with a rudraksha mala gestures, and a gilded deity murti sits on a red cushioned seat. Red cushions and a white wall frame the scene.2012-10-16A seated man with long dark hair tied back, wearing an orange-and-gold draped garment, a gold-bead necklace and a layered mala with golden bell-like beads, raises his right arm to touch the forehead of a younger man with short hair who wears a maroon t-shirt and a rudraksha-style mala. Behind them a golden ornate throne back and a red cushioned seat are visible. The seated man is a person based on the long hair, orange draping and ornate gold-and-bead adornments, shown giving blessing to a devotee, the setting resembling a satsang blessing.2014-01-11October 25 20152015-10-25
