A photograph of a man in a rust-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a white-and-red forehead mark placing his right hand on the forehead of a seated devotee in a white kurta. The devotee kneels with palms pressed together, eyes closed. A gold kalasha-style vessel sits at the lower left, a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure hangs at upper right, and red and gold cushions line the floor behind them.2014-03-21March 21 20142014-03-21A photograph of a seated figure with a swept-back dark hair, white vibhuti horizontal marks and a red kumkum dot on the forehead, bare-shouldered and wearing a deep red shawl with gold border and a long gold-beaded necklace. He reaches to touch the crown of a man kneeling in front of him; the man wears a white kurta, a thin gold chain, and has his palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them stand a golden lion-headed throne armrest, orange and blue drapes, and a garland of yellow and red flowers. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a ceremonial gold necklace and a shawl, matching the cues for the page's named teacher, so the appearance is consistent with that identity in person.2013-11-11July 05 20152015-07-05 +1 copiesA seated man in flowing saffron-orange robes with long dark hair sits on a red and maroon cushioned seat, a rudraksha mala draped across his chest, one arm extended and his palm raised toward the head of a man standing before him. The standing man wears a white kurta with an orange shawl over his shoulder, his grey hair tied back, eyes closed and head bowed as if receiving a blessing. Behind them a seated attendant in white clothing is partly visible, with a golden ornamental backdrop and a lit area in the room. The scene suggests a blessing or healing gesture. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-robed figure with long hair, rudraksha mala and orange garments.2012-04-25October 11 20122012-10-11 +1 copiesAugust 30 20142014-08-30July 05 20112011-07-05October 11 20122012-10-11 +1 copiesA seated woman in a brown and gold turban and gold-bordered sari, wearing a red flower garland and gold bangles, places her right hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala.

Facing him, a man in a white kurta with a thin mala around his neck raises both hands, palms open and turned toward the seated figure's face, in a blessing or energy-transmission gesture. Behind them, a blurred temple-style backdrop with carved stone-like panels and a golden ornamental pillar, and a purple curtain at the right edge. Two people are visible in the scene.2011-07-04
