The man has both palms raised in a blessing-receiving gesture. Behind them, a seated man in white with a gold-bordered dhoti and rudraksha beads has a white forehead mark, and standing devotees in white and one woman in orange with gold border watch from the background. A man in a white shirt at right looks on. The appearance of the seated figure with long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha and gold ornaments is consistent with Swamiji (probable), giving a blessing to a devotee in what appears to be a satsang or darshan setting.2013-07-02A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair, wearing a rust-orange wrap and a rudraksha-style red-brown bead necklace, raising both hands toward the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta and red-orange shawl with a red lanyard and a blue ID badge. The seated figure holds a thin wooden stick. Behind them, a man in a white robe and red sash and a woman in a white top and red lanyard stand in a bright hall, with a man in a white dhoti and gold-bordered cloth seated nearby. The gesture appears to be a blessing or energy transmission, but the seated figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.2013-07-15A photograph of a blessing exchange indoors. A man with long dark hair in a bun, bare-shouldered in a rust-brown cloth with a gold ceremonial necklace of beads, presses his right palm to the forehead of a shorter, grey-haired man in a white kurta with a red and white beaded mala around his neck.
