July 26 20172017-07-26A seated man with long dreadlocked hair, a red-orange robe draped over one shoulder, layered beaded malas and gold necklaces, gold earrings, and red-and-gold bangles touches the forehead of a smiling woman in a white top and pearl earrings who has her hands joined in anjali. Behind him is an ornate gold throne with carved peacock-style detailing. A standing woman in white with a rudraksha mala watches at right, and a brass lamp and a gold deity murti sit in the foreground.2017-07-26A man with long dark dreadlocks and a short beard sits on a gilded golden throne, bare-chested under a rust-orange wrap, adorned with gold bangles, a gold earring, and rudraksha malas. He extends his right arm to touch the forehead of a short-haired woman in a white top and rudraksha necklace, who raises her hands in reverence. Behind them, a camera operator and another person in cream clothing are visible, and gilded carved panels fill the background. The man's appearance with long hair, ornate gold, rudraksha and orange clothing is a probable match to Swamiji, who is blessing a devotee in an ashram setting.2017-07-26A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a gold bead necklace reaches forward to touch the forehead of an elderly woman in a white top with an orange shawl, who bows with palms pressed together. Behind him stands a golden throne with a carved lion-head armrest, a cobra-entwined staff topped with a gold finial, and a peacock-feather fan at left, against deep red draped curtains. The scene reads as a blessing given from a throne.2014-07-25January 13 20182018-01-13May 11 20162016-05-11January 11 20142014-01-11A seated man with swept-back dark hair and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead rests his right hand on the forehead of a young girl in a white top with a pink print, who kneels with her palms pressed together. He wears a rust-red and saffron-toned cloth over bare shoulders, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and copper-coloured bangles, and a gold lion-headed armrest sits beside him. Behind them, a man in white ritual dress holds a small vessel, a boy in a white shirt stands with a beaded necklace, and women in saffron, orange and white saris watch from the side. Red drapes hang in the background, and a white pedestal fan stands to the left. The scene suggests a blessing exchange in a satsang-style hall.2013-11-20December 16 20172017-12-16October 12 20172017-10-12July 26 20172017-07-26A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair in a rust-red robe and brown rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder, raising his right hand to bless the head of a standing man in white kurta and a red-and-brown rudraksha shawl who presses his palms together in greeting. The seated man sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest. Behind them, a golden trident stands upright, with garlanded deity murtis, gold necklaces, red and green drapes, and white lilies in the background. A woman with a red-marked forehead is partly visible at the right edge. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by his long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial throne seating, and the page indicates his presence at this event. The blessing is a darshan exchange with a devotee.2014-12-28
