A photograph of a long-haired man in a saffron-and-gold wrap and a rudraksha mala, seated on the left, pressing his palm to the forehead of a young man in white kurta and trousers with an event badge, who stands with his hands raised in reverence. Behind them, a portrait labelled with a saffron-robed figure sits on a stand, and seated devotees watch, including a woman in white with a red-brown shawl. A gold deity murti is partly visible at lower left. Swamiji (probable) is identifiable by the long hair, saffron-gold wrap and rudraksha mala of the figure giving the blessing; the receiving man is a devotee. Roughly four people are visible.2014-03-06March 13 20142014-03-13March 08 20142014-03-08March 08 20142014-03-08A photo of a ritual blessing in a temple-like hall. A man with hair tied back, bare-chested with a saffron-orange shawl over his shoulder and a rudraksha mala around his neck, reaches forward to press his palm on the forehead of a young man in white kurta with a red-orange shawl. A seated woman in orange garments and a rudraksha mala watches smiling, with a tilak on her forehead. Behind them a framed portrait shows a figure in an orange turban, set within a gold frame, and gold ceremonial objects appear at the lower left.2014-03-26March 08 20142014-03-08March 06 20142014-03-06A photograph of two men in close, intimate contact at the forehead in an indoor hall. The figure on the left, a bare-shouldered man with long dark hair in a low knot, wears a gold-and-orange wrap and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace, and presses his palm to the forehead of a second man. That second man wears a white kurta with a saffron-orange shawl bearing printed motifs and has his hand raised above his head. Behind them, seated devotees in light clothing watch, and a golden ceremonial object appears at the lower left. The scene appears to be a forehead blessing or initiation moment.2014-03-06December 17 20132013-12-17A photograph of a blessing moment indoors in a hall with warm ceiling lights and beige walls. A woman with long dark hair, a white forehead mark and an orange-red garment with a rudraksha mala stands at right, placing her palm on the forehead of a shaven-headed man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl, who raises his other hand in a gesture of receiving. An older man in a white kurta and red shawl stands at left, and a woman in red sits behind the central figures. A golden ornamental object is visible at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the woman at right has long swept-back hair, a white forehead mark, a mala and orange-red clothing, cues consistent with the page's claim, while the page's title concerns Vak Siddhi and Satsang.2014-03-07A photograph of a long-haired man in orange-saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, seated on the left, raising both hands to touch the forehead of a younger man with dark wavy hair who wears a white shirt and a red-orange shawl. The recipient has his eyes closed and both palms raised. A gold ornament sits in the foreground, and a framed portrait of a saint in an orange turban hangs behind. A woman in the background watches.2014-03-12August 30 20152015-08-30 +1 copies
