A second person in white clothing with beaded necklaces is partially visible behind him. Warm lighting and a red backdrop surround the group.2017-08-20A bare-chested man with a short beard and tilak on his forehead kneels with palms pressed together and eyes closed while a person in a rust-orange garment and gold bangles places a hand on his head in blessing. Gold vessels appear at the lower left, and a bright sign or banner is visible in the background. The scene reads as a darshan blessing during a yoga programme. The blessing giver is an unnamed attendant, and no one is identified as a person in this frame.2017-08-23August 20 20172017-08-20August 23 20172017-08-23A photograph of a Nayana Deeksha-style blessing. A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, a gold necklace of ornate bead ornaments, rudraksha-style beads and a saffron-orange dhoti-style wrap stands at left, pressing his palm to the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a moustache, whose arms are raised. The blessed man's other palm is open upward. Behind them a seated woman in a white top and another in a patterned orange top watch. A small paper slip is held in the officiant's hand, and a gold deity murti or ornament sits at lower left. The officiant is probable Swamiji, with long hair, a saffron wrap, gold neck ornaments and a sandal-marked forehead.2014-01-04Close photograph of a bare-chested man with eyes closed and a thin cream cord around his neck, receiving a blessing as a hand with a red thread wrist band presses against his forehead. A blurred golden kalasha-like vessel stands at left against a dark maroon curtain, and a faint white-clad figure appears at the right edge. The setting suggests a ritual energy darshan or initiation.2018-03-24August 23 20172017-08-23August 23 20172017-08-23March 27 20182018-03-27 +2 copies
