A seated man with swept-back dark hair, wearing a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with a golden border, a gold-beaded necklace of bead strands and a golden ornament on his shoulder, places his right hand on the bald head of a standing man in a white kurta and rust-orange shawl. The recipient wears a red lanyard badge and holds his palms together in front of his chest, eyes lowered. The setting is an indoor hall with a white draped backdrop, dark panels, green foliage and gold cushions in the foreground.2013-12-17A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red and gold-bordered saffron-toned cloth with a long rudraksha-style bead necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, placing his right hand on the forehead of a standing man in a white shirt with a red-and-orange shawl. The seated man has long swept-back hair and a red wrist thread. Behind them is a golden deity figure, a peacock feather fan and red floral decor. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, ornate red-gold clothing and rudraksha beads, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable in-person candidate performing a blessing on a devotee. Blurred hall background with red drapes.2014-03-21March 17 20142014-03-17A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange wrap with gold border and rudraksha beads, bare-shouldered, reaching to touch the forehead of a bald, white-bearded man in a white shirt and red sash. The seated figure has swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and a red thread on the wrist. Behind them are a tall white-and-green ceremonial stick with fronds, potted plants, an ornate golden frame and other seated devotees in white and red attire. The seated figure has dark, swept-back hair, a red bindi, rudraksha mala and a gold-trimmed saffron wrap, matching the Swamiji (probable) candidate; the recipient is a devotee in white with a red sash. The scene suggests a blessing gesture in a satsang hall setting.2014-03-22December 17 20132013-12-17A seated figure with long dark hair tied in a bun, wearing an orange-red shawl and a rudraksha mala, places his palm on the forehead of a standing older man with grey hair. The older man wears a white kurta and an orange shawl and bows his head. Behind them are gold-coloured ceremonial vessels and a red patterned cushion on a dais, with another person in white partly visible at the right edge. Two physical people are clearly visible, and the scene reads as a blessing given during an indoor satsang.2014-03-17July 05 20132013-07-05March 30 20142014-03-30December 12 20132013-12-12December 03 20132013-12-03A photograph of a seated man in orange-and-gold silk clothing and a shawl, wearing layered rudraksha mala necklaces and a white sandalwood forehead mark, leaning forward and touching the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta and a grey shawl.

A bare-chested man with long dark hair tied back in a bun, wearing a saffron-orange wrap with gold border, a red-and-white beaded necklace and a red thread on his wrist, presses his hand to the forehead of a young man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl, whose eyes are closed. Behind them, seated devotees in white with orange-red shawls and rudraksha malas, and gold-framed backdrops, suggest a satsang or blessing session. Probable Swamiji (probable) is shown in this appearance-based label: long swept-back hair, ornate beaded necklace and saffron wrap; he is performing a forehead blessing.2014-03-21
