Behind them, standing women in white and rust-coloured saris, one with a rudraksha mala, and a woman in orange attend the scene beside gold pillars and a gold ornamental lattice. The seated figure appears to be a presiding teacher, and the kneeling man receives a blessing gesture. A gold object sits in the foreground. Several people are visible in the scene.2015-08-22August 14 20162016-08-14A photograph of a bare-chested man with swept-back hair wearing a red and gold shawl, a gold bead necklace, and a white tilak on his forehead, handing a small red object to a man in a white checked shirt. Behind them stand other people in white and orange clothing, and a standing air cooler is visible at left. The setting is an indoor hall with a pale wall.2011-11-06November 03 20112011-11-03December 15 20112011-12-15A photograph of a ceremonial blessing at an indoor gathering. A man on the left wears a saffron-orange turban and bare-chested orange-red cloth, with a white and green flower garland and a red-and-gold bangle, and places his right hand on the crown of an older man's head. The older man, smiling with grey hair, wears a saffron-orange shawl over white clothes and holds a red apple. Behind them a woman in white with a rudraksha mala kneels and holds a small camera, and a figure in gold and green silk stands in the background. The turbaned man has distinctive saffron turban, rudraksha-style cords and garland cues consistent with the page claim, so he is described as a probable Swamiji blessing a devotee.2016-08-14Indoor photo at a ceremonial gathering in a hall with a bright white ceiling. A man in a salmon-orange turban with a decorative brooch and an orange-gold shawl, wearing a deep red garland of beads and a maroon garment, places his raised right hand on the forehead of a devotee who presses his palms together. Behind him stands a gilded, ornate shrine-like structure with warm lights. On the left, a man in a white shirt and maroon mala beads holds a golden deity murti, and a man in a checked shirt with a vibhuti mark bows with folded hands. A young bald man in glasses and white ritual clothes stands at right, and other devotees and onlookers fill the background.2011-08-31October 09 20162016-10-09A photograph of a man in a cream-coloured turban and white dhoti with a bare upper torso, wearing a garland of yellow flowers with green leaves, a rudraksha mala and bead bracelets, reading a small white paper handed to him by a devotee. The turbaned man has a distinctive ceremonial presentation with a wrap and adornments, but his face and features are not clearly visible, so the identity is uncertain. Beside him, a monk in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and tilak stands closely. On the left, a man in a white shirt folds his hands in namaste toward him. Behind them, a crowd of devotees in white and light clothing fills a bright hall with a red curtain. +2 copiesNovember 11 20132013-11-11
