Night photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, wearing a white forehead band and tilak, extending a hand to bless the forehead of a man in white kurta with a saffron-red shawl and an orange sash. Behind them stands a second man in saffron clothing with a mala, beside a golden arched backdrop and a red fabric wall decorated with garlands of red, yellow and white flowers. The seated figure has distinctive long-sleeved saffron robes, mala beads and gold necklace, consistent with a person presence, but this is a blessing scene with no printed caption naming anyone.2012-10-15A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long swept-back hair, a white forehead mark, a red bindi, and a long gold-beaded necklace extends his hand toward a standing man in a white kurta with an orange shawl printed with script, and a red-and-white rope around his neck. The standing man raises both palms in greeting. A silver staff with a ornate finial stands between them, and gold-coloured throne ornaments and a red-curtained wooden lattice frame the background. Two people are physically present.2014-08-31A seated man with a rudraksha mala and red-orange garment, wearing a white tilak on his forehead and garlanded with red and yellow flower strands, smiles while reaching to bless another man's forehead with his raised palm. The receiving man wears a white kurta and orange shawl and bows his head with palms pressed together. A small boy in an orange top stands in front. Behind them is a golden kalasha-like vessel and a deep red drape with flower garlands.2014-09-28October 19 20122012-10-19October 16 20122012-10-16July 11 20122012-07-11A photograph of two men facing each other with palms raised and nearly touching, a blessing or energy-transmission gesture. On the right, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a gold necklace of large beads over a rudraksha-style mala, and a rust-orange shawl sits on a golden throne before red drapery. On the left, a grey-haired man in a white kurta wears an orange shawl printed with script. A third man in white is partly visible at the far left edge.2016-07-17A photograph of a seated saffron-clad teacher placing his right palm on the forehead of a bald, grey-haired man in a white shirt with an orange shawl, who has his hands raised in a gesture of receiving blessing. The teacher wears orange robes, a white tripundra forehead mark with a red dot, a rudraksha mala necklace, rudraksha armbands and a gold-buckled belt, and smiles. Behind them a second orange-robed figure with a rudraksha mala gestures, and a gilded deity murti sits on a red cushioned seat. Red cushions and a white wall frame the scene.2012-10-16A seated figure in a maroon-red sannyasi robe with an orange sash and rudraksha mala beads sits on a red cushioned seat, smiling broadly with a white vibhuti marking and red kumkum dot on the forehead, raising one palm toward a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala who stands with hands folded in namaskar. A gold-colored ornamental figure and yellow drape stand behind, with green potted plants and a fan nearby, and other white-clad attendees stand in the background. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person given the saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial setting, so this is treated as in person and an appearance-based identity claim. Two people are clearly visible plus additional partial figures in the background.2015-02-15October 16 20122012-10-16August 31 20142014-08-31July 06 20122012-07-06
