A seated man in a red-and-maroon ceremonial wrap with a long braid and a thick beaded rudraksha-style mala reaches up to rest his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling devotee in a white shirt and red shawl. Gold lion-head carved armrests and a red striped throne cushion frame the scene, with red velvet drapery behind. The devotee's palms are pressed together at the seated man's knee. Two people are physically present.2013-11-21 +1 copiesDecember 08 20132013-12-08September 29 20132013-09-29A seated man in a rust-orange cloth draped over one shoulder wears a long rudraksha mala with a white vibhuti mark on his forehead and his hair in a bun. He reaches out to touch the forehead of a shaved-headed devotee in a pale cream kurta, who raises his hands in a receptive gesture. Between them stands a silver staff with a finial. Golden lion-head ornaments flank the seat, a red carpet covers the floor, and oscillating fans and a wooden partition sit in the background.2014-09-14A photograph of an indoor darshan moment. A man with swept-back long dark hair, white vibhuti marks on his forehead, a rudraksha and gold bead mala, and a saffron-and-gold wrap sits on a red-cushioned seat, his arm extended as he touches the forehead of a seated man in a grey knit sweater and a collared shirt with a silver bracelet. A large golden deity murti is visible behind them, with a red flower garland at the upper left. Another person in white is partly visible at the right edge. The page identifies the event as a 2014 Satsang, and the seated man with long hair and ceremonial adornments fits the a person description, so this is an appearance-based probable match.2014-01-03September 13 20132013-09-13 +1 copiesA seated man with long dark hair tied in a bun wears a rust-red draped garment with gold border and a long braided white garland with a rudraksha-style mala at his neck. He reaches forward, placing his palm on the crown of a short-haired man in a white kurta with a dark beaded mala, who holds his hands together in a respectful gesture. A wooden staff with a carved top stands between them. Behind are a golden kalasha-like object, dark wall panels and a woman in white with green plants at the right edge. The seated man matches the page's described appearance cues (long swept hair, rudraksha-style mala, ceremonial garland) and is presumed to be a person, though this is an appearance-based inference only.2013-12-02December 10 20132013-12-10December 03 20132013-12-03A seated man in a maroon-red saffron-toned wrap with long dark hair, white vibhuti marks on his forehead and a rudraksha mala with gold ornaments, extends his arm to touch the forehead of a bald man in a white short-sleeved shirt and a silver wristwatch. The bald man holds his palms together in front of his chest while a silver staff or rod rests against his head. Behind them stands a golden lion figure and beige wall panels. Swamiji (probable) cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold ornaments and maroon ritual wrap, shown as the seated giver of blessing in this padukapuja-style scene.2013-12-03September 28 20132013-09-28A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a bare shoulder, long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead mark and rudraksha malas on the chest, smiling and extending an arm toward a standing man in a white kurta with an orange shawl who raises both hands near his face. The seated figure sits beside a golden lion-form seat and a silver staff with a ring finial, in a temple-like hall with orange and white lattice panels and an air conditioner. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in saffron robes with rudraksha malas and long hair, giving a blessing during a pada-puja style ritual. A woman in a white sari with a forehead mark is partly visible at the right edge.2014-09-05
