May 28 20132013-05-28A seated man wearing a red-orange shawl draped over bare shoulders, a long white-and-yellow flower garland and a cascade of rudraksha beads, with a sandalwood-type tilak on his forehead, places his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt with a red lanyard. The kneeling man holds a small yellow object in his hand. Behind them a woman in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha mala stands watching, and men in white clothing stand at the right. A white air conditioner and maroon drapes form the backdrop.2014-04-27A seated figure in a rust-orange robe with a yellow waistband and a white flower garland blesses a kneeling man in a white shirt with folded hands, resting an outstretched hand on the man's head. The seated figure has a white forehead mark and short dark hair; a golden lion-headed armrest and red tiger-striped cushions surround the throne-like seat. Behind, two women in orange saris with rudraksha malas stand near a golden pillar, and a white-clad woman with a horizontal forehead mark and a bead mala looks on. The setting is an indoor hall with a red carpet and a wall fan.2014-09-21May 11 20142014-05-11A seated figure in a rust-red turban, rust-red robe and white jasmine garland places one hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt, while holding a small white paper or card in the other hand. Behind him, several women and a man in rust-red and gold-bordered robes with rudraksha malas stand near an ornate gilded wall; one woman in the centre bends forward, touching the kneeling man's head. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan in a golden-hued sanctum with a gilded lion-faced seat visible at left.2016-01-17May 28 20132013-05-28May 11 20142014-05-11April 26 20152015-04-26May 28 20132013-05-28A photograph of a padapuja-style ritual in an ashram hall. A seated figure in saffron-orange and red cloth, with a white vibhuti mark on the forehead, wears a red-and-white flower garland and a leaf garland, and sits on a red zebra-striped throne beside a gold lion-headed armrest. Before them a woman in a white sari and a man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard kneel with folded hands, holding fruit offerings. A silver tray of oranges and limes sits in the foreground. Behind them, women in white and yellow saris and an orange-robed attendant stand near a large gold throne draped with garlands. A patterned red rug covers the floor.2014-11-30July 19 20152015-07-19A seated teacher with long dark hair, wearing rust-orange robes, a red rudraksha-style bead garland and gold bangles, places his right hand on the head of a kneeling man. The kneeling man wears a white shirt, an orange-gold turban and a red-orange shawl, with his palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them a woman in a green and gold sari wears beaded necklaces, and other women in red and white stand or sit in the background. A white wall and a cushioned seat frame the scene. The page indicates this is Swamiji, but the appearance cues of long swept-back hair, orange robes and red garland match a probable identification, so this is labelled as such.2013-05-28
