Behind him stands a golden throne with a carved lion-head armrest, a cobra-entwined staff topped with a gold finial, and a peacock-feather fan at left, against deep red draped curtains. The scene reads as a blessing given from a throne.2014-07-25A photograph of a seated man in saffron-red robes with white and red garlands and a white tilak on his forehead, smiling as he places his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white kurta and dark-rimmed glasses. The kneeling man has his other hand resting on the first man's arm. A gold kalasha-style vessel and a silver staff stand nearby, with an ornate golden throne in the background. A woman in the lower right looks on, and a framed painting hangs on the wall.2014-05-13A photograph of a seated figure with a bun and bare upper body, wearing an orange shawl and rudraksha malas, placing both hands on the crown of a bald, grey-haired man in a white kurta with an orange-red scarf, who leans forward with palms raised in reverence. Golden cobra-hooded seats and a silver staff stand beside them, with red draped cushions and a framed picture in the background. The bald man in white is a devotee receiving blessing. a person cues are not sufficiently distinctive here, so the seated figure is described by role and identity is left unsure.2014-05-12A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair in a rust-red robe and brown rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder, raising his right hand to bless the head of a standing man in white kurta and a red-and-brown rudraksha shawl who presses his palms together in greeting. The seated man sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest. Behind them, a golden trident stands upright, with garlanded deity murtis, gold necklaces, red and green drapes, and white lilies in the background. A woman with a red-marked forehead is partly visible at the right edge. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by his long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial throne seating, and the page indicates his presence at this event. The blessing is a darshan exchange with a devotee.2014-12-28May 09 20142014-05-09December 16 20122012-12-16July 24 20142014-07-24July 15 20142014-07-15March 21 20142014-03-21A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead marking and red bindi, rudraksha malas and a gold floral necklace sits beside a golden serpent-shaped ornament and silver ritual staff.
