December 12 20132013-12-12December 20 20132013-12-20A seated man in a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap with gold border, wearing a long rudraksha mala, rests his right hand on the head of a young boy in an orange-and-white striped shirt who leans forward with bowed head. The man has swept-back hair in a bun and a red tilak. Behind him a woman in white watches, and a gold-framed deity murti and a gold ornament sit on a table at the side of a hall with a projector screen and green plants. The gesture appears to be a blessing given during a gathering.2013-12-10March 03 20152015-03-03A photograph of a bare-chested man in orange ochre cloth with a long rudraksha and silver bead mala and a gold pendant necklace, seated on a red cushion. He has hair tied in a bun, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, and is smiling as he places his right hand on the head of a boy. The boy, in a turquoise t-shirt with a rudraksha mala, has his palms pressed together in namaste and eyes lowered. Behind them a woman in an orange saree and another person in blue stand in a plain room. The man has distinctive long rudraksha and gold adornments and an orange wrap, consistent with the page reference to a person, so this is a probable identification of the seated man, who is blessing the boy.2012-10-11February 25 20152015-02-25A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair and a ponytail, wearing an orange-saffron shawl and a beaded orange-brown necklace, smiling as he places his right hand on the head of a young boy in a black shirt who has his palms pressed together. Behind them, a man in a white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala and a bead pendant watches, and other people in white and orange-pink clothing stand in the background. A small offering tray with fruit and foil-wrapped sweets rests near the seated figure. The setting is an indoor hall with a pale wall.2013-07-01December 16 20132013-12-16A seated man in a rust-brown dhoti-style garment with a gold border rests his right hand on the forehead of a shaven-headed boy in an orange sleeveless robe. The seated man, with long hair tied back, rudraksha mala beads and white vibhuti marks, smiles warmly. The boy wears a rudraksha mala, bangle and a white vibhuti mark, eyes closed, palms together in a respectful gesture. Gold ceremonial objects and a dark speaker stand in the background. This appears to be a blessing moment, with the seated man's appearance matching the page's Swamiji cues of long hair, rudraksha beads and a ceremonial setting (probable).2013-12-08A photograph of a man with long swept-back dark hair and a red-orange shawl draped over bare shoulders, wearing a brown-beaded rudraksha mala and a gold-ornamented necklace, smiling broadly as he places his right palm on the forehead of a young boy in an orange robe with a dark ponytail. The man sits beside an ornate gold-carved throne. Other people in orange and white clothing stand in the background at a dim, outdoor-lit gathering. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ornate gold necklace, shawl over bare shoulders, and seated on an ornate throne, performing a blessing.2013-12-11A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red draped robe with a gold-toned beaded necklace and a gold hair ornament, his hair tied back in a bun, placing his right palm on the crown of a young boy's head.

Behind them, a woman in a red-brown sari and a white-clad attendant hold rudraksha malas, and several children in orange and red clothing stand in the background. The scene resembles a blessing or padapuja-style darshan.2013-12-20August 02 20142014-08-02
