August 31 20142014-08-31A seated man in a rust-brown and gold-bordered draped robe, with long swept-back dark hair and a heavy gold-toned necklace, smiles as he places his right palm on the forehead of a short-haired devotee in a salmon-pink t-shirt. The devotee holds his hands up, palms forward, and a white garland drapes over his head. Behind them stands a deity murti decorated with marigold and multicoloured flower garlands, a gold-toned vessel sits in front, and orange and gold draped cloth hangs on the wall. A red tiger-striped cushioned seat is at the left edge, and a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala appears at the far right. This appears to be a blessing or darshan moment during a satsang-style gathering.2013-11-15January 07 20082008-01-07December 17 20132013-12-17A photograph of a guru-disciple blessing in a ceremonial hall with red drapes. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a white forehead mark and a dark hair knot sits on a gold-ornamented seat and extends his right hand onto the head of a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears a white shirt, an orange-red shawl with printed text, and a rudraksha bracelet, and holds his palms together. Behind the blessing stands a silver staff with a finial and a peacock-feather fan, beside a golden lion-form armrest. The appearance is consistent with a person, seated in a saffron robe with a white tilak and a dark hair knot; the blessing is given in the seated role of a guru.2014-07-20Photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, white forehead markings and a red bindi, wearing a long rudraksha mala and extending his right hand to bless the forehead of a grey-haired man in a white shirt with an orange-red shawl and rudraksha beads, who stands with palms pressed together. Behind them a silver staff with a metal finial, a golden figure, golden garlands and red cloth fill the background, with a few other people in orange clothing at the edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron robes, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance in a blessing or darshan setting.2014-10-11A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red shawl and a long gold-bead necklace, with long dark hair swept into a knot and yellow sandalwood paste on his forehead, placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears a white shirt, orange-red shawl and rudraksha-style mala and holds his palms together. Behind them stand a golden throne and a carved wooden staff with a serpent-like head, against gold draped fabric. A golden kalasha-style vessel is partly visible at the lower left. This appears to be a blessing or darshan moment.2014-08-02May 07 20142014-05-07August 11 20172017-08-11A long-haired man in a red-orange garment and multi-strand rudraksha mala sits beside an ornate gold-carved throne, raising his right hand to touch the forehead of a younger man in white kurta with a red-patterned shawl, who stands with palms pressed together in anjali. Behind them stand decorated deity murtis draped in green and gold garments and garlands, with green plants and a small offering tray of flowers and fruit. The scene suggests blessing or darshan. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long hair, orange-red clothing and rudraksha mala match the page candidate, and he is seated on the throne; the appearance cues are reasonably distinctive, so the label is probable. Two physical people are visible.2014-12-24May 31 20142014-05-31A satsang scene in a hall with a deep red velvet curtain and a golden ornate panel behind. A seated figure with long dark hair, orange-brown robes and a rudraksha mala with a shawl draped over the armrest is high-fiving a shaved-headed man in a white shirt with an orange-and-white garland. Another man in white dhoti with a shawl and sandalwood tilak sits at right, smiling. A wall air conditioner and fan are visible. The seated figure with long hair, orange robes and rudraksha beads fits the presentation of Swamiji (probable), seated on a throne-like chair.2013-05-14
