July 06 20122012-07-06September 11 20112011-09-11November 25 20112011-11-25A photograph of a seated man in an orange saffron shawl and a rudraksha mala, with a red tilak on his forehead and long swept-back dark hair, placing his right hand on the forehead of a bald older man in a white shirt who stands with both arms outstretched. The seated man sits on a dark red velvet throne draped with yellow, red, purple and white marigold garlands, with gold ornamental metalwork behind. A blessing or healing touch is being given. The man in white and the seated figure are the only two physical people visible. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears an orange saffron shawl, long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala, seated on a garlanded throne.2011-12-18A photograph of a ceremonial moment in front of a red draped backdrop and a gold-trimmed chair. A bare-chested man with swept-back hair, a white tilak on his forehead, and layered rudraksha malas smiles while raising his right hand to touch the forehead of a second man. The second man wears an orange shirt and orange shawl, eyes closed, with gold bangles and a ring, and his hands are open in front of him. The first man holds a small paper card in his left hand, and a red cloth and small items are visible on a table below. The bare-chested figure's distinctive hair, rudraksha malas and ornamentation match the a person cues, so he is described as a person in a blessing role; the other man is a devotee.2012-09-08A smiling man in an orange saffron shawl and a gold ceremonial necklace sits on a red velvet cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold throne-like backdrop, with a red bindi on his forehead. He reaches forward to touch the head of a second man in a white shirt, who is seen from behind with his hand raised. Yellow marigold garlands and red fabric draped behind them. The seated man is identified only by appearance: a person, seated and blessing a devotee.2011-12-17 +1 copiesSeptember 03 20112011-09-03 +1 copiesDecember 01 20112011-12-01A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair wears saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala across his chest, sitting on an ornate red and gold throne. He smiles broadly and places his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in an orange shirt with a red patterned shawl. The devotee has his palm raised in front of him. Behind them, a woman in white and other people in red and white clothing are visible, with green foliage in the background. The appearance-based cues of long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala are consistent with a probable Swamiji, seated in a blessing gesture.2016-05-06September 09 20112011-09-09November 26 20112011-11-26A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with a row of dark beads down the side, hair tied up in a bun, places both hands on the head of a young man in a white shirt who stands before him holding a folded white paper. The seated figure's hair is tied up and he wears no visible crown, rudraksha mala or ceremonial gold necklace, so no a person candidate is established. Behind them stands a red, green, yellow and purple garland-decorated backdrop, a gilded deity murti and a red velvet chair. A woman with long dark hair is partly visible at the right edge. The scene looks like a blessing or healing touch on the head.2011-12-18
