December 16 20132013-12-16A seated man with long dark hair, wearing a rust-red shawl over a brown garment and a small red bindi, places his right hand on the head of a shaved-headed man in gold-rimmed glasses and a white shirt, who is draped with a red shawl. Behind them hang deep red velvet curtains. To the right, a man in a white dhoti with a gold border and a rudraksha mala watches. A blurred head of another attendee is in the foreground. The scene appears to be a blessing or initiation moment in a satsang setting. The seated figure with long hair and rust-red shawl is a probable Swamiji candidate, with the long swept hair and saffron-toned shawl as cues, shown here in a blessing role.2013-05-19A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, an ornate gold necklace and rudraksha-style beads, and an orange-red wrap, places his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt draped with a red-orange shawl. A red velvet curtain forms the backdrop. On the right, a second man with short hair wears a white garment, yellow border and rudraksha mala, looking on. Appearance-based label: a person, giving a blessing to a devotee in what appears to be a satsang or initiation moment; the event itself is not visible in the frame.2013-05-19A seated figure with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, wearing an orange-brown draped garment, reaches out to touch the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a red shawl and rudraksha beads. The man raises his left hand palm-out. Two bald men in white with red shawls stand in the background beside a window and an electric fan, with a red-upholstered chair at left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-orange drape are the appearance cues, and the page places him at the satsang; he is giving a blessing to a devotee.2013-05-19A photograph of an indoor satsang hall with a red curtain and pink walls. A person in an orange-saffron wrap with long dark hair and rudraksha beads on the waist, and rudraksha mala around the neck, places one palm on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt with a red scarf, rudraksha mala and red lanyard. The young man has his hands raised, palms facing outward. Behind them, several people in white and orange clothing stand or sit, one woman in white with a gold border saree. The scene appears to show a blessing or diksha-style touch during a gathering.2013-07-11May 19 20132013-05-19A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala draped over an orange-brown robe, placing his palm on the forehead of a standing devotee in a white shirt with a red-orange shawl, while the devotee raises his own palm in blessing. Behind them, an attendant in white dhoti and orange sash stands near a white air-conditioning unit and red curtains, with a red-cushioned seat and an orange towel in the foreground. The seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long hair and rudraksha mala, giving a blessing to a devotee at a satsang-style event.2013-05-24A photograph of a satsang setting in a cream-walled room. A long-haired figure in an orange-brown robe and rudraksha mala sits on a maroon-upholstered seat and places a hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a red-orange shawl. The seated figure fits the page's appearance cues of long hair, rudraksha and orange clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) giving blessing to a devotee. Behind them a man with a sandalwood or vibhuti forehead mark wears a red shawl, another man in white stands at right, and a white fan and a tray of small packets appear at left.2013-05-19A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red shawl over a brown robe, wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, with long swept-back hair and a red bindi, placing a hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti who is being blessed. A second man, shirtless with a yellow-bordered white dhoti, rudraksha beads and an armband, stands at right looking down. Behind them are deep red velvet drapes, a gold-coloured element at upper left, a white floor fan and a white cabinet. The figure has a probable Swamiji appearance, based on long hair, saffron-toned clothing, rudraksha and gold necklace, and is shown in an in-person blessing scene.2013-05-19December 16 20132013-12-16May 19 20132013-05-19A photograph of a ritual initiation in an indoor hall.
