February 18 20132013-02-18A seated man with long dark hair, a saffron-orange shawl over his shoulders, a beaded rudraksha-style necklace and bead bracelets on his upper arm and wrist extends his right hand to touch the forehead of a young girl kneeling before him. The girl wears a white t-shirt and a red-orange shawl, with a small orange flower in her hair, and her hands are raised in a gesture of reception. Behind them a man in white ritual cloth and beads sits low, and women in orange and white saris stand in the background near garlanded red-and-yellow floral decorations and electric fans in a bright hall.2013-07-10March 05 20132013-03-05May 14 20132013-05-14July 14 20132013-07-14A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a long dark rope-like rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, his long hair swept back, extending his right arm to place his palm on the head of a young boy in a grey-and-white polo shirt with his hands raised in greeting. Behind them, a row of devotees stands in a hall, including a young girl in white, women in colourful salwar and white or cream sarees, and a woman wearing a lanyard. The seat is a dark red velvet throne-like chair with an orange cloth on its arm. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, giving a blessing as a darshan moment.2013-05-24A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a sleeveless bare-shouldered drape and layered rudraksha malas and gold ornaments, wearing a white vertical tilak and red bindi on his forehead and gold-beaded armlets. He rests his right hand on the head of a young boy in a navy t-shirt standing before him, a ritual blessing gesture. Behind him a golden throne with red upholstery; another figure in orange robes and an orange head covering stands behind, raising a hand. Red cushions and a tray of flower petals sit at the lower left, and a white-clad attendant is partly visible at the far left. Plain white wall and a wall vent in the background.2012-10-16A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a thick rudraksha mala and a long dark hair knot, bearing white sacred ash on his forehead, extends his right hand in blessing toward the head of a young boy in a white shirt and red-and-white checked cloth with an orange thread. The boy stands with eyes closed and hands folded. Behind them a second man in white with a yellow-bordered cloth and white forehead marks sits, and blurred figures stand in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated blessing figure shows long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, the cues the page associates with Swamiji, though this is an appearance-based label.2013-02-25A seated figure with long dark hair wears an orange-brown wrap and a long rudraksha mala draped over the shoulder, reaching out to place a hand on the head of a young girl in a white top. Around them, children and adults in white and colourful clothes gather closely, some with hands raised toward the seated figure. A maroon cushioned seat and a folded towel sit in the foreground. The seated figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the role is described as a person giving blessings.2013-05-19A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala blesses a young girl in an orange top with a pink hheadband. He rests one hand on her head and holds her hands. Behind them, devotees in white and orange clothing stand and watch in an indoor room with a white air conditioner and a brass lamp at the left edge. The scene resembles a blessing or padapuja-style interaction.2011-11-26July 06 20142014-07-06A photograph of an indoor gathering in which a long-haired figure in an orange-brown saffron wrap and a rudraksha mala sits on the left, reaching out to place a hand on the head of a young girl with dark hair and a red top who is bending forward. Several children in casual clothes, including a boy in a light-green shirt and a boy in a purple T-shirt, crowd around. Behind them a smiling person in white clothing with a white forehead mark and a rudraksha mala stands. Red drapes and a window appear in the background. Appearance cues, including the long hair, saffron wrap and rudraksha mala, are consistent with a person presence, and the event page associates a person with this satsang, though the figure is shown from the side and the identification is uncertain.2013-05-19
