Photograph of a seated man in an orange turban and orange-and-gold robe, with a red and white flower garland and a gold-coloured necklace, being touched on the forehead by a kneeling man in a white shirt whose palms are pressed together in namaskar. The seated figure's hair is long and swept back, and he sits on a cream upholstered chair draped with a tiger-stripe cloth. Behind them are string lights of red and pink bokeh, orange drapes and floral arrangements. A red tray with offerings sits at lower left. Two physical people are visible. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a saffron turban, saffron robe with gold border, ceremonial garland and long swept-back hair, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, presented as a padapuja-style blessing; the kneeling devotee is a person in white.2012-03-30A photograph of a seated man in an orange turban, orange shawl and red and yellow marigold garland placing his right hand on the head of a man in a white shirt, who faces away from the camera. The seated man wears a red tilak mark and a gold ornament on his turban, and his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Another hand rests on the white-shirted man's shoulder. Red and pink string lights and a floral arrangement frame the scene. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in orange turban, orange shawl, rudraksha-style red beaded garland and long swept-back hair, giving a blessing.2012-03-30November 26 20112011-11-26A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange head wrap and a long rudraksha mala raises his right hand in blessing over the head of a younger man in white kurta who stands with palms joined in namaskar. Behind them a red wall hanging and brass lamps with a lit flame stand on the ashram stage, and a red velvet throne chair is at left. The seated man is a robed figure on a throne; appearance cues are limited, so identity is uncertain. Two people are visible.2011-08-28 +1 copiesA seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap sits on an ornate gold throne with carved backrest and lion-form armrests, decorated with yellow and purple flower garlands. A man in a white kurta gestures with raised hands as he touches the seated man's head, a blessing-style gesture. The seated man wears a rudraksha mala with gold beads. A woman in a yellow shawl stands at the left edge.2009-12-07A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and white sacred ash on his forehead, with a red kumkum dot, is blessed by a man in white clothing with a pearl-like necklace who extends his palm toward him. Behind them stands an ornate gold throne with carved gold scrollwork and a red velvet seat, with a painted deity mural in the background. The seated figure shows distinctive saffron robes and mala cues but his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so this is a person depiction only in the sense of the page's claim, and the scene reads as a padapuja-style blessing.2011-11-26May 12 20142014-05-12A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with long swept-back dark hair, placing one hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt with palms pressed together in namaste. The seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, and a second saffron-robed attendant with long hair stands at left. A red-and-ochre temple pillar backdrop and a green tree photo mural fill the background. a person (in person) is giving blessings to a devotee, with a visible red thread or string in the devotee's hands.2010-02-11A photo of a blessing moment at an indoor event. A seated figure in an orange turban, orange shawl with gold borders and a red-and-yellow flower garland stretches an arm forward and places a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt, who has his palm raised. A man in white and a second man in white with a rudraksha mala appear behind. Orange and pink lights and white flowers decorate the background. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and bare-chested ornate orange dress with a gold-trimmed shawl, consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues and a blessing role, so the appearance is a plausible in-person match.2012-03-30March 30 20122012-03-30October 25 20152015-10-25October 07 20122012-10-07
