A photograph of a long-haired figure in an orange saffron shawl and multiple rudraksha malas placing his right hand on the forehead of an older man bending forward. The older man wears a white kurta with a gold-embroidered collar and a blue-and-brown cord with beaded necklaces. The setting is an indoor room with pale pink walls and a dark red curtain at left. The scene appears to show a blessing or pada-puja style darshan. The orange-clad figure matches the appearance cues of a saffron-robed sannyasi with rudraksha malas, a person, giving a blessing to a devotee.2011-12-11December 02 20112011-12-02A photograph of an indoor scene with a pale pink wall and a window behind. A man with long black hair in an orange sleeveless top leans in with his right arm extended, his hand resting on the shoulder of an older bald man with grey hair in a cream kurta. The older man bends his head forward. A brown beaded mala hangs around his neck. The younger man smiles warmly. Swamiji (probable): the long black hair, orange clothing and beaded mala are the cues; he is the one bestowing the gesture of blessing.2011-12-02Close-up photograph of a person with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, wearing an orange shawl with a gold border, placing one hand on the forehead of a balding man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala, whose palms are pressed together in front of his chest. Both are in profile against a plain beige wall with an air-conditioning unit behind them; a third person is partly visible at the far left edge. The orange-clad figure's long hair, shawl and ornaments match the page's Swamiji cues, so this is a probable Swamiji in person giving a blessing, and the blessing is the physical act shown.2011-12-11March 23 20132013-03-23A photograph of a saffron-robed figure with long swept-back hair, tilak on the forehead, and multiple rudraksha malas, placing one hand on the head of an older bowing man in a white kurta with a golden embroidered collar and a lanyard badge. The robed figure is a probable Swamiji, identified by the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, and is giving a blessing to the devotee. Background is a warm-toned hall with wooden panels and a red cushion at lower left.2011-11-26Photograph of an indoor satsang-style gathering. On the right, a man with long dark hair pulled back, wearing an orange sleeveless top with an orange shawl draped over his shoulders and a red tilak on his forehead, rests one hand on the forehead of a younger man on the left. That younger man has voluminous dark curly hair, wears a white kurta and a rudraksha mala, and holds his right hand up open-palmed in receptive gesture. Eyes closed, the orange-clad man appears in a blessing or transmission moment. Background shows a dark curtain and a blurred pastel floral backdrop.2011-12-02Close photo of a man with long, dark, wavy hair in an orange saffron garment placing his right palm on the forehead of an older man with short grey-black hair who wears a white shirt. The older man's eyes are closed and his face is tilted toward the palm. Warm red-orange light and a dark background. A second person's hand reaches in from the right edge, and a partly visible person stands at the left. Appearance-based cues for the saffron-clad man include long swept hair and saffron clothing; the page gives no confirmed identity.2009-12-13October 07 20122012-10-07December 02 20112011-12-02May 14 20132013-05-14July 02 20102010-07-02 +1 copies
