November 22 20092009-11-22July 25 20092009-07-25A photograph of a man in an orange saffron wrap, bare-chested and with gold hoop earrings, seated and placing his right hand on the head of a young child held upright by a woman in a white top. Around them, devotees including a woman in a red patterned top, a woman in white, and a boy in a green shirt watch quietly in a dim indoor setting with red drapery behind. The man's appearance (dark hair, earrings, saffron wrap) is consistent with the a person description, shown in the role of giving blessings, and he is shown here blessing the child. Four or more people are visible in the scene, including partly visible figures at the edges.2012-07-07Photograph of a long-haired man in an orange sleeveless top and orange cloth draped over his shoulder, bending forward and placing his right hand on the head of a small child held by an adult at right. Beside him a woman in a blue sari with folded hands, a woman in a blue and gold sari, and an older bald man in white with a green-and-red bordered shawl stand watching. Several men in white and light shirts stand in the background before orange curtains and a shelf of deity murtis. The setting appears to be an indoor hall. Text overlay reads a copyright notice.2010-02-10Indoor photograph of a devotee gathering at an ashram-style event. In the centre an older woman with grey hair, a pink blouse, white sari with orange border, and a black beaded mala is speaking emotionally while holding a red fruit. A young man in an orange saffron top and a woman in a white sari stand beside a small child in a pink polka-dot outfit whose head is being touched. Other women in saris, one with a red bindi, stand behind, and a large garland of yellow and white flowers fills the right edge.2009-07-11A photograph of a ceremonial blessing at an ashram. A figure in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and a gold-trimmed shawl stands at right, placing both hands on the head of a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who wears a red-bead mala and closes his eyes. A woman in a pink sari with white flowers in her hair kneels at lower left with palms pressed together. Behind them, several men in white ritual clothes and white caps stand among the gathered devotees. The orange-robed figure has appearance cues consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, including long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji presence in person, while the other people are devotees.2005-03-08A photograph of a darshan-style blessing in an indoor hall. A long-haired man in an orange saffron robe with layered gold and bead necklaces, bare-shouldered, places both hands on the head of a devotee who is bending forward. Crowd members stand close around, including a man in a white dhoti holding a small child in a green shirt, a bald man in white with a rudraksha mala, and a monk with a shaved head and orange wrap at right. A videographer with a camera stands at upper left, and framed portraits hang on the wall behind. The orange-robed figure has long swept hair and distinctive adornments, consistent with the a person candidate. Approximately six to twenty people are visible.2011-11-06October 29 20102010-10-29June 27 20102010-06-27A photo of a blessing moment at an indoor event. In the foreground, a bare-shouldered figure in a red sleeveless top draped with an orange shawl places a hand on the head of a man in white kurta with a silver chain, who bows his head. A woman in white with a black-and-white patterned shawl and a red bindi watches beside him. Behind them, a man in orange robes stands, and further back several people in white clothes are visible; flower garlands in pink and white hang at the right edge. The bare-shouldered figure with the red top and orange shawl has distinctive presentation cues but the face and identity are uncertain, so the role is given only as a blessing giver.2009-07-25November 22 20092009-11-22July 08 20092009-07-08
