November 27 20112011-11-27A 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 20 20132013-12-20A photograph of a smiling man in saffron-orange robes with a bare shoulder, wearing a gold necklace, a rudraksha mala and beaded bracelets, with a white tripundra on his forehead and his hair tied in a bun. He lays his right palm on the forehead of a young boy in a red, yellow and white striped shirt with a dark rudraksha-style mala, who stands with his palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them a seated figure in orange robes and an orange turban sits before a golden throne with red velvet cushions, and a gilded deity-like figure appears at the lower centre. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan at an ashram. The man has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, matching the appearance cues for Swamiji (probable), who is the page's subject; he is performing the blessing.2012-10-08July 07 20112011-07-07November 06 20112011-11-06A photograph of a standing man in a red and gold-bordered robe with a long rudraksha mala around his neck and dark hair tied in a bun, placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white polo shirt with blue stripes. The boy stands with palms pressed together and eyes closed in prayer, holding a small red item. The man holds a folded paper in his left hand. A bald man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits blurred in the background, and a partially visible person stands at the top left.2011-11-27A 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).2013-12-08Photograph of a close, intimate moment: a man with hair tied in a bun and a rudraksha mala draped over his bare shoulder, wearing a red-and-gold wrap, leans his forehead toward a boy in a red polo shirt who bows his head in front of him. A vermilion tilak marks the man's forehead, and a soft lamp glow appears in the background. The man's features are partly obscured by the close framing and the bowing gesture. Two physical people are visible.2011-07-04December 20 20132013-12-20A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron shawl and green-and-gold beaded necklace placing his hands on the head of a man in a blue-and-white striped shirt, who has his eyes closed. The standing man smiles warmly; a red cloth backdrop hangs behind them, with another person partly visible in white. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), given the long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and ornate gold-and-green necklace, performing a blessing or touch on the seated devotee.2012-08-21 +1 copiesOctober 11 20122012-10-11
