November 06 20132013-11-06A seated man in an orange-and-gold striped turban and rust-orange shawl, with a rudraksha mala of reddish beads and gold ceremonial ornaments near him, raises his cupped hands in blessing toward a young boy in a white t-shirt who stands with eyes lowered. Behind them, a seated man with white tilak marks and white clothing sits beside brass vessels, while women in white and red shirts stand in a hall with fans and red curtains. The scene reads as darshan or blessing in an ashram hall; the seated blessing figure shows several cues, including a saffron-toned turban, rudraksha beads and ornate gold, so he is described as Swamiji (probable).2013-11-06A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a sleeveless bare-shouldered drape and layered rudraksha malas and gold ornaments, wearing a white vertical tilak and red bindi on his forehead and gold-beaded armlets. He rests his right hand on the head of a young boy in a navy t-shirt standing before him, a ritual blessing gesture. Behind him a golden throne with red upholstery; another figure in orange robes and an orange head covering stands behind, raising a hand. Red cushions and a tray of flower petals sit at the lower left, and a white-clad attendant is partly visible at the far left. Plain white wall and a wall vent in the background.2012-10-16June 21 20152015-06-21Indoor darshan scene in a hall with red curtains and a golden throne edge at lower left. A seated figure in a maroon-red robe and a red-and-gold turban, with a rudraksha-style necklace, extends the right hand to bless the forehead of a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and an ID badge, whose arms are spread open. Behind them, a standing man in white with an orange shawl raises a hand, and white-clad devotees stand and sit along the wall and beside the cushion. The page excerpt names Sukhdevanandji and Gurukul kids, but neither is visibly confirmed here.2013-11-06A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-orange turban and a rust-and-gold wrap, wearing a rudraksha mala, placing an open right palm on the forehead of a young boy standing in front of a golden ornate chair against a deep red curtain. The boy wears a navy polo shirt with red and white collar trim. A woman in white with a rudraksha mala sits at the right edge. The figure has a rudraksha mala and a turban but the appearance is not clearly established as the a person, so the role is described as a seated figure giving blessing.2015-10-25July 06 20142014-07-06March 03 20132013-03-03March 13 20142014-03-13A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a thick rudraksha mala and a long dark hair knot, bearing white sacred ash on his forehead, extends his right hand in blessing toward the head of a young boy in a white shirt and red-and-white checked cloth with an orange thread. The boy stands with eyes closed and hands folded. Behind them a second man in white with a yellow-bordered cloth and white forehead marks sits, and blurred figures stand in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated blessing figure shows long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, the cues the page associates with Swamiji, though this is an appearance-based label.2013-02-25March 01 20132013-03-01July 04 20162016-07-04
