April 28 20142014-04-28Indoors at night, a bare-chested man in a saffron-red cloth and a long gold-beaded necklace reaches to touch the forehead of a man in a white shirt with a red shawl. Behind them stands an ornate gold-carved wooden structure with a yellow fringed canopy above. A woman in white with a rudraksha mala kneels nearby with hands folded, and several devotees in white and red shawls sit or stand in the background.2013-12-20Stage photograph of a dimly lit, blue-and-purple toned ceremony. A man with long dreadlocked hair, a rudraksha band across his forehead, a bare shoulder and a thick garland of red, orange and yellow roses is raising his right hand to touch the forehead of a seated man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala around his neck, who has his palm raised in return.

A man with long dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, rudraksha malas, a gold pendant and an animal-print sleeveless top stands at right and touches the forehead of a bare-chested man kneeling at left, who wears an orange sash and holds his hands up in front of his face. Behind them, men in white dhotis with orange sashes and white forehead marks stand, one in an orange robe. In the foreground at lower centre sits a small golden statue of a deity murti. The background shows an ornate gold and orange carved backdrop with glass decorations. The man at right has long hair, rudraksha malas and a leopard-print top, with distinctive adornments; a person appearance-based candidate is physically present, but the cues are not strong enough to confirm identity from appearance alone.2017-07-25 +1 copiesSeptember 18 20172017-09-18 +1 copiesA man with long dreadlocked hair, wearing a rust-brown draped garment and a thick red-and-white flower garland, sits on a leopard-print seat and presses his right palm to the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala.

The man has closed eyes, palms raised and a rudraksha mala with rudraksha beads on his neck, and wears a red and rudraksha bracelet. Behind them a bald man in white with a rudraksha mala and another person in white stand in a hall with a deep red curtain and a gold railing. The robed figure wears a saffron/orange shawl, a distinctive crown and a garland, which are visible cues, but the page does not state a person is present, so the figure is described only by role as a robed teacher giving blessing.2017-04-20A photograph of a bearded man with long dreadlocks wrapped with a rudraksha mala headband, wearing a red-brown wrap, a thick rudraksha mala and a garland of red roses and yellow marigolds. He smiles as he places his right hand on the head of a man in a white shirt and glasses who bows forward, receiving blessing. A bracelet of wooden beads is on the wrist. Behind them a blue starry backdrop, and a white ornate chair edge is visible at left. Appearance-based candidate: a person, identified by the dreadlocks, rudraksha malas, garland and red wrap while giving blessing on stage.2018-04-15
