July 07 20112011-07-07A photograph of a man with hair tied in a bun, bare-shouldered and wearing a red wrap with a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder, bowing his head toward a boy in a red polo shirt who leans forward with his head touching the man's head. A flame of an oil lamp glows in the background, with blurred colourful pictures behind them. The man's appearance shows a rudraksha mala and red wrap but no clear crown, saffron robe or ceremonial gold necklace, so the identity of the man cannot be confirmed; he is a priest or devotee receiving blessing from the child.2011-07-04December 16 20132013-12-16September 04 20112011-09-04 +1 copiesA seated man in an orange saffron shawl with gold border and a long rudraksha mala hangs over his chest, smiling as he raises his hand toward the forehead of a young boy in a red t-shirt and red cord, who faces away from the camera. A lit brass oil lamp stands behind them against red and pink draped fabric, with a golden lamp finial visible. The man has a red tilak on his forehead and hair swept back. Candidate appearance matches Swamiji (probable) by his orange saffron shawl, rudraksha mala and swept-back hair, seated in a darshan-style blessing. Two physical people are visible.2011-07-02September 04 20112011-09-04 +1 copiesPhotograph of two people in close intimate contact, foreheads touching, in a plain pale-walled room. The figure on the left wears an orange saffron garment draped over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala of dark brown beads, and dark hair tied in a top knot; he is smiling with eyes closed. The figure on the right, a younger boy with short dark hair, wears a white shirt and a rudraksha mala and has his eyes closed. The older man's hand rests on the boy's neck.2011-07-06December 10 20132013-12-10A seated man in a rust-brown dhoti-style garment with a gold border rests his right hand on the forehead of a shaven-headed boy in an orange sleeveless robe. The seated man, with long hair tied back, rudraksha mala beads and white vibhuti marks, smiles warmly. The boy wears a rudraksha mala, bangle and a white vibhuti mark, eyes closed, palms together in a respectful gesture. Gold ceremonial objects and a dark speaker stand in the background. This appears to be a blessing moment, with the seated man's appearance matching the page's Swamiji cues of long hair, rudraksha beads and a ceremonial setting (probable).2013-12-08September 08 20122012-09-08A man with long swept-back dark hair sits on a red velvet and gold throne-like seat, wearing an orange-saffron robe with gold border and a long rudraksha mala of dark beads hanging to his waist. He rests his left hand on an orange cushion and extends his right hand to rest on the head of a seated devotee with short dark hair in front of him. Behind them stands a tall brass oil lamp with a lit flame, and red and cream draped fabric forms the backdrop. The scene suggests a darshan blessing.2011-07-02October 11 20122012-10-11
