A photograph of a man in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair tied in a bun and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace, extending his right arm to touch the forehead of a woman in a red hooded sweatshirt with short dark hair. He holds a small white card in his left hand. Beside them sits a large gold-colored deity murti or ornament with a lion-like head, and a red cloth-covered seat is visible at the bottom.

He places his right hand on the forehead of a seated woman in a red and orange sari with a silver bangle, while holding a small stick or applicator to her face. Behind them stands a silver trident-like staff and a gold ornamental object, with orange and white slatted screens and a peacock-feather fan at the left edge. a person cues: saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and a ceremonial setting; this appears to be a blessing or tilak application.2014-09-13A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a gold ceremonial necklace extends his right hand over the head of an older woman in a white sari with a red shawl and gold earrings, who kneels with palms pressed together. Behind them stands a silver staff with a cobra-hooded top, a gold lion-like figure at left, a peacock-feather fan, and red draped curtains. The seated man holds a folded paper in his left hand. Two people are visible.2014-07-25A seated man in an orange-red garment and rudraksha mala places his right hand on the forehead of a young man in a grey button shirt, while holding a folded white paper in his left hand. A silver trident with a red stone stands beside them, and a golden deity murti with a gold animal-headed form and gold garlands is visible behind. A woman with a white and red forehead mark watches at right, and bamboo and green plants frame the setting. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and a shawl-style wrap, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2014-10-11September 14 20142014-09-14A bare-chested man with hair in a high bun, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and a gold necklace with rudraksha malas, rests one hand on the forehead of a woman with short dark hair who wears an orange shawl and raises her other palm in front of her.

The man stands with one hand raised, eyes closed in a receiving posture. In the background a woman in white with a rudraksha-style mala watches. A golden ceremonial object sits in the lower foreground. The scene appears to be a blessing or initiation moment indoors against a textured cream and rust wall.2014-01-05A seated man with a pink floral garland, a rudraksha mala and orange-red clothing reaches forward to touch the forehead of a woman in a white blouse and red shawl with a red border. A silver trident-topped staff stands between them, and gold lion-head ornaments rest in the foreground on a blue-carpeted platform. Behind them are a framed colourful painting and a brown leather chair in an indoor hall. The woman's hand is raised toward her head as the blessing is given. The man's appearance (long swept-back hair, garland, rudraksha mala, orange clothing) matches the page's Swamiji reference, so this is probable Swamiji (probable) giving a forehead blessing to a devotee.2014-05-10
