October 17 20122012-10-17October 17 20122012-10-17A photograph of a long-haired man with a white vertical tilak on his forehead, wearing a saffron-orange shawl and rudraksha bracelets, leaning forward to place his right hand on the forehead of a young man in white kurta and red shawl with a rudraksha mala. The young man keeps his eyes closed and raises his left hand in a palm-out gesture. Another man in white stands at the right edge, and a wall-mounted electrical box and door appear in the background. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the blessing figure, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and bracelets, and a ritual forehead touch.2012-10-17October 17 20122012-10-17October 17 20122012-10-17October 17 20122012-10-17July 14 20122012-07-14Photograph of an indoor blessing moment. A smiling man with a short hair bun, a yellow-white tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala, and an orange-brown draped garment raises his right hand toward the head of a younger man in a white shirt and orange shawl, who has his hands raised in response. A blurred deity murti with red and gold tones sits at left against a plain pale wall. Two physical people are visible.2012-10-13 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremony indoors in a warmly lit room. A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing an orange-red shawl with gold border over a bare shoulder and multiple rudraksha malas, presses his palm to the forehead of a shaved-head young man in a white t-shirt and orange shawl, who has his eyes closed and a hand raised palm-out. Rudraksha beads hang from the younger man's neck and wrist. Behind them a framed portrait and gold-accented decor are visible, with seated devotees in orange and white in the background. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan moment.2014-03-26October 11 20122012-10-11October 20 20122012-10-20October 19 20122012-10-19
