December 09 20152015-12-09August 01 20142014-08-01A photograph of a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a beard, bare-chested, wearing an orange-brown wrap and a brown rudraksha mala around his neck, pressing his palm to the forehead of a devotee in a white shirt. The devotee has eyes closed and a smear of ash on his forehead, and a long orange scarf printed with script hangs around his neck, which the man holds. Behind them stands a white-robed attendant, a red curtain and a golden pillar frame the setting, and an ID lanyard hangs from the devotee. The man's appearance (long hair, rudraksha, orange wrap) is consistent with the page's identification of a person, but the face-based identity is uncertain.2016-06-27 +1 copiesAugust 01 20142014-08-01September 14 20152015-09-14A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold necklace and long swept-back hair places his hand on the forehead of a devotee in a white shirt and orange shawl printed with text. The devotee has his eyes closed and his arms are raised. A tall silver trident stands beside them, with a gold ornament and red curtains behind. A partially visible person at the right edge wears a white tilak. a person appears as the seated figure, identified by his saffron robes, gold necklace and long swept-back hair, and is shown giving a blessing. The scene looks like a ritual blessing or darshan.2014-07-14A photograph of a blessing moment in an ornate gold-toned hall. A man with long dark hair tied in a bun, bare-shouldered and wearing a red-orange cloth, has orange sandalwood or vibhuti marks on his forehead and a yellow flower garland at his neck. He extends his right arm to place his palm on the forehead of a young man with curly dark hair, who wears a white t-shirt and a red-orange shawl printed with script, and has a bracelet on his wrist and raises his left hand in receipt. Behind them stands a silver staff and a gilded lion-faced ornament, with a golden kalasha-like object nearby. Visible identity cues are not sufficient to confirm the presiding figure's identity.2014-08-02Photograph of a bare-chested man with long dreadlocked hair, a thick rudraksha mala and a gold chain, wearing a saffron-orange cloth, reaching out to bless or touch the face of a grey-haired man in a white shirt who wears an orange-red scarf printed with script and a conference lanyard. A camera operator and other people in orange and white stand in the background of a temple-like setting with carved stone.2016-06-27A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, bare-chested under a rudraksha mala and a brown-and-leopard-print shawl, extends his right hand to press the forehead of a young man in a white shirt and red-orange scarf printed with script. The seated figure sits before a gilded throne-like backrest, with garlands, orange flowers and draped fabrics behind them. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a shawl, matching the page's Swamiji-at-event note, while the standing devotee is a person receiving blessing. The young man holds his right palm raised in devotional acknowledgment.2014-12-26Photograph of a seated man with long dark swept-back hair, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, rudraksha-style beaded ceremonial necklaces with gold beads, and a rust-red robe, smiling and extending his right arm to touch the forehead of a bald, older man in a white shirt and a red-and-black patterned shawl. The second man has both palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them stands a silver-and-gold ceremonial staff topped with a silver finial and a gold-toned peacock feather fan on the left, with deep maroon drapes in the background. Two people are visible. a person is the seated figure, identified by his long hair, rust robe, beaded gold garlands and white tilak; he is the one being touched in blessing by the bald man.2014-07-21October 27 20142014-10-27 +1 copiesJune 27 20162016-06-27 +1 copies
