A man in a light blue collared shirt and glasses stands with hands pressed together in namaste while a figure in a cream turban with a jeweled ornament, a red-and-maroon robe and multiple rudraksha malas places his palm on the devotee's head in blessing. Two other people stand near: a bald man in orange cloth at right and a figure in white with a gold-bordered shawl at lower right, while a person in white stands at left. The setting is an indoor hall with ceiling lights and a blurred background. Swamiji (probable) appears as the blessing figure, given his turban, rudraksha malas and ornate robe.2011-12-15A photograph of a ceremonial blessing in a hall with dark red drapes. A man in saffron-orange robes and a gold bead necklace layered over rudraksha beads stands at right, placing his right hand on the head of a bowed devotee with glasses and tilak marks. The man holds a sheet of white paper in his left hand. Several people in white clothes with folded hands stand at left, and another figure in orange stands behind the blessing figure. The man has long swept-back dark hair, a gold earring and multiple bracelets, and appears to be Swamiji (probable), given the saffron robes, rudraksha and gold malas, and long swept-back hair, while the page identifies him as present.2013-05-12A photograph of an indoor satsang or darshan setting. A smiling man in a red turban with a small jewel and a red-and-gold sash, wearing a heavy gold necklace of beads over a lavender garment, extends his right hand in a blessing gesture toward a bespectacled man in white clothes and a rudraksha mala who bows his head with hands in anjali. A man in a striped shirt stands nearby, and other people, including a man in a light blue shirt and white dhoti, are visible in the background, with a glowing deity murti and a screen behind them. The turbaned figure has long swept-back hair and ornate gold jewellery.2011-12-06Indoor photo of a blessing in a hall with a plain ceiling and recessed lights. A man in a pink saffron-toned dhoti-style wrap with a heavy gold multi-strand necklace and gold bangles stands at centre, with a red bindi, placing his right hand on the bowed head of a devotee in a striped shirt and glasses who has his palms pressed together. Several devotees with folded hands stand to the left, and a bald monk in orange robes and glasses with a rudraksha mala stands at right. Appearance-based candidate: a person for the central figure, wearing a pink wrap, gold necklace, gold bangles and red bindi, with the page noting his presence at the event; the figure is standing and blessing, so this is a candidate rather than a confirmed identity. A watermarked copyright line is printed at the lower right of the photograph.2011-11-13December 29 20112011-12-29November 05 20132013-11-05December 18 20112011-12-18 +1 copiesNovember 02 20112011-11-02A photo inside a hall with red curtains and a decorated deity shrine in the background.
