A smiling woman in white with a rudraksha mala watches from behind the boy. The setting is an indoor hall with pale wall panels and a bright screen behind them. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in the orange robe shows long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and ornate ceremonial clothing, and is shown blessing the boy.2013-12-13October 08 20122012-10-08March 03 20152015-03-03A photograph of an indoor ritual setting in which a long-haired man in an orange-saffron shawl and a heavy necklace of gold beads and rudraksha malas raises his right hand in blessing toward an older woman in white with a folded-hand namaskar. He wears a red bindi, gold armbands and bracelets, and holds a folded paper in his left hand. Behind them a young woman in a pale green floral top stands with hands joined, a shaved-headed man in white ritual clothing with a tilak is visible at right, and an orange lamp hangs in the background. Four people are visible.2013-02-28A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair and a ponytail, wearing an orange-saffron shawl and a beaded orange-brown necklace, smiling as he places his right hand on the head of a young boy in a black shirt who has his palms pressed together.

A small offering tray with fruit and foil-wrapped sweets rests near the seated figure. The setting is an indoor hall with a pale wall.2013-07-01December 06 20132013-12-06August 01 20142014-08-01A seated man in a rust-red draped garment with gold-bordered edges and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala rests one hand on a small boy's forehead while holding a dark wooden staff in the other. The boy wears an orange top and has a marked forehead. Behind them a woman in white with a red border and a bead necklace smiles, and a golden throne-like seat is visible at left. The setting is a gold-panelled hall with black speaker cabinets. The man's appearance with long swept-back hair, a mala and rust-gold robe is a person cue, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone; he is described as a seated figure blessing a child.2013-12-02A seated man with long dark hair pulled back, wearing a rust-orange draped garment, red-and-white cloth beneath him, and beaded rudraksha-style malas on his wrist and neck, extends his hand to touch the forehead of a curly-haired young child in a white kurta. Behind them a second man in white with a white forehead mark and beaded necklace looks on, and a yellow sheet and flower lie on the floor. Adults and a dark-haired woman are at the edge of the frame in a bright hall with red drapes.

A woman in white with an orange-red shawl and a beaded mala stands beside them, watching. Behind them, girls and women in white with orange scarves stand against red drapes and a gold-toned panel, and a man in white sits at the right. The seated man is an appearance-based a person by his long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha malas, so this is a blessing scene in a satsang-style hall.2015-07-19A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with plush tan cushions and an orange cloth draped over the armrest.
