A woman in a sleeveless bright orange top stands behind a seated older man with short white hair, white shirt and a dark beaded mala around his neck. She rests her hand on his head in a blessing or healing gesture, while another person to the left holds out a small white cloth or tray. The setting is an indoor hall with fluorescent lights and a wooden ceiling, with a laptop or screen edge visible in the foreground. No one in the scene is visibly identified as a person, so the figures are described by role only.

A photograph of a healing or blessing moment indoors under warm, dim lighting with hanging decorative cloth above. A person with long, dark, curly hair in an orange sleeveless top places a hand on the shoulder of a balding older man in a white short-sleeved shirt and light trousers who bends his head forward. A second woman in an orange-red sari with a bindi stands behind, reaching toward the man's forehead. A badge hangs from the man's neck and another orange-clad person stands at the right edge. The orange-clad figure with long curly hair shows appearance cues but is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the role is given as a devotee or sannyasi.2010-02-10A figure in an orange sleeveless top with a draped orange shawl and a dark topknot places one hand on the head of a man in a white kurta with a blue lanyard, who raises his other palm in devotion. A bald man in orange robes sits behind, and other devotees are seated in a hall with a white cooler unit and a silver staff at the left edge. The gesture suggests a blessing or initiation. A candidate matching the page's a person reference is present, showing a topknot, orange robes and a shawl, but the face and appearance are not clear enough to confirm.2012-04-22 +1 copiesDecember 02 20112011-12-02December 15 20092009-12-15July 23 20102010-07-23April 22 20122012-04-22 +1 copiesJuly 10 20112011-07-10April 22 20122012-04-22 +1 copiesNovember 30 20112011-11-30A photograph of an indoor sarva darshan blessing inside a hall with white draped ceiling fabric and a yellow and blue patterned hanging. A young person in an orange sleeveless robe with long dark hair in a low bun places a hand on the forehead of an older man in a white checked short-sleeved shirt, who has a rudraksha-style red-brown mala around his neck and bows his head while another man holds his hand. Behind them a bald man in white with an orange stole watches, and an elderly woman with glasses and a yellow-sleeved person in white stand nearby. Fruit sits on a table at right and a red cloth is visible at the edge.2010-07-29A indoor event photograph at night under fluorescent lights and a wooden lattice ceiling. In the centre, a woman in an orange sleeveless top with an orange shawl places her hand on the forehead of an older man with white hair who wears a white shirt. Beside him, a woman in a white sari with yellow border holds a small object, and a man in an orange robe stands at the right edge. Behind them, seated women in saris watch. In the foreground are a glass water bottle, a bowl of wrapped sweets and a tray of fruit on an orange-upholstered chair edge.2010-02-04A photograph of a blessing moment indoors against a plain white wall with a ceiling fan at the top. A person in an orange saffron garment and a bare shoulder, hair in a bun, wearing copper-coloured bangles, stands behind a older man in glasses and a white short-sleeved shirt, placing a hand on his forehead. The man stands with hands together near his waist. Behind them a seated man in white with a rudraksha mala and a shaved-head priest in orange stand near; to the right a woman in a white sari with a grey blouse watches. The swami figure's identity is only an appearance-based guess, so this is a probable depiction of a blessing scene with the orange-clad person giving a forehead blessing to a devotee.2012-04-06
