A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-brown saffron robe and a long beaded rudraksha necklace with ornate gold pendant, long dark hair swept back, placing one hand on the forehead of a man in white clothes with a rudraksha mala. The man has both palms raised in a blessing-receiving gesture. Behind them, a seated man in white with a gold-bordered dhoti and rudraksha beads has a white forehead mark, and standing devotees in white and one woman in orange with gold border watch from the background. A man in a white shirt at right looks on. The appearance of the seated figure with long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha and gold ornaments is consistent with Swamiji (probable), giving a blessing to a devotee in what appears to be a satsang or darshan setting.2013-07-02A photograph of a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange shawl and rudraksha mala seated on a cushioned seat, placing both palms on the forehead and chest of a man in a white kurta who raises his hands in a receiving gesture. Behind them a man in white with a rudraksha mala and a woman in orange with a gold-edged sari watch; a light-colored sanctified-looking figure sits nearby, and several people stand in the background. The setting is an indoor hall with maroon drapes and a colourful fabric at left.2013-07-02July 10 20132013-07-10A photograph of a seated man in an orange-brown wrap and a long rudraksha mala with ceremonial white beads, bare-shouldered with a gold-yellow cloth, extending his right arm to touch the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta with a red lanyard and rudraksha mala. A seated man in white clothes and a rudraksha mala smiles in the centre background, and two more people stand behind. The seated figure in orange wears a beaded bracelet and an armband. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with white walls and a red curtain.2013-07-10 +1 copiesA photograph of a diksha-style blessing in an indoor hall. A man with a shaved head and a tilak mark on his forehead wears a crimson and gold robe, rudraksha mala beads and gold bangles, and reaches forward with his right arm extended, palm open toward the head of a seated devotee. The devotee, in a white shirt with short dark hair, bows forward with his hands raised to his head to receive the blessing. Behind them a seated woman in white with a dark beaded mala watches calmly, and a partially visible man in white sits at the right edge. A brocade-patterned wall and a projection screen stand in the background, and a gold object is visible at the lower left. The blessing figure has a tilak and no clearly distinctive long hair or crown, so identity is uncertain.2014-01-05A long-haired man in an orange-brown dhoti-style garment and a multi-strand rudraksha mala sits at left, pressing two fingers to the forehead of a bearded man in a white shirt and rudraksha mala who holds his palm up in a blessing gesture. A white-clad man with a rudraksha mala sits behind them, and an orange-robed figure is visible in the background near a golden elephant figurine. Appearance-based candidate, probable Swamiji, with long hair, orange clothing and rudraksha malas, is the seated figure at left giving a forehead touch, so the shot shows a forehead blessing or diksha-style transmission in a satsang hall.2013-07-05July 11 20132013-07-11A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair, wearing a rust-orange wrap and a rudraksha-style red-brown bead necklace, raising both hands toward the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta and red-orange shawl with a red lanyard and a blue ID badge. The seated figure holds a thin wooden stick. Behind them, a man in a white robe and red sash and a woman in a white top and red lanyard stand in a bright hall, with a man in a white dhoti and gold-bordered cloth seated nearby. The gesture appears to be a blessing or energy transmission, but the seated figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.2013-07-15A photograph of a guru-disciple blessing at an indoor satsang. A man with long dark hair, bare-shouldered in an orange-brown wrap, sits on the left with a tilak on his forehead and rudraksha beads around his neck and wrist, placing his palm on the forehead of a young man in a white kurta with a red-orange shawl, eyes closed, hands raised in respect. Behind them a seated man in white with rudraksha mala and a gold-yellow stole watches, and other devotees in red and orange shawls stand near floral decorations. The left figure matches the Swamiji (probable) presentation through his long hair, orange wrap and rudraksha malas, so he is marked as in_person. Five people are visible.2013-07-10July 16 20132013-07-16July 01 20132013-07-01July 06 20132013-07-06
