He has hair tied in a bun, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, and is smiling as he places his right hand on the head of a boy. The boy, in a turquoise t-shirt with a rudraksha mala, has his palms pressed together in namaste and eyes lowered. Behind them a woman in an orange saree and another person in blue stand in a plain room. The man has distinctive long rudraksha and gold adornments and an orange wrap, consistent with the page reference to a person, so this is a probable identification of the seated man, who is blessing the boy.2012-10-11A seated man in saffron-orange robes and heavy gold beaded necklaces, with a white vibhuti mark on his forehead and a gold armlet, extends his right hand to touch the forehead of a standing devotee. The devotee wears a blue and red shirt with an orange shawl, and holds his left palm up in front of him with eyes closed. Behind them, another person in orange stands near a window, and a maroon curtain hangs at right beside a round fan.2013-03-03A 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.2012-10-08A seated man in a rust-brown robe with gold trim and a long brown mala necklace places his right hand on the forehead of a young boy in an orange sleeveless top with a red lanyard. The boy holds his left palm up in a gesture of receiving. Gold lion-head armrests and a dark chair frame the seated figure, with a large white screen behind. A man's shoulder is partly visible at the right edge. The setting suggests a blessing during an indoor satsang or darshan. The seated figure's distinctive long hair in a bun, brown robe and mala cues make Swamiji a probable candidate, shown in person giving a blessing.2013-12-12A 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).2013-12-08December 03 20132013-12-03March 01 20132013-03-01A seated man in an orange saffron shawl and a heavy gold beaded necklace sits on a red-cushioned seat, leaning forward and extending his hand. Facing him, a young boy in a white shirt with yellow and blue stripes holds his cupped hands out to receive an offering of reddish-brown beads. A man in white ritual clothing with a yellow-bordered cloth and a brown rudraksha mala sits behind them, watching. Several women in orange, pink and white saris stand in the background near a window, with white forehead markings visible on some participants.2013-03-05
