September 12 20102010-09-12A photo of a seated man in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a dark rudraksha mala, sitting on an ornate gold-carved throne with a red cushion. He holds a boy's hand and extends his other hand over a tray of flowers and small items. The boy, in a teal and gold brocade kurta with a visitor badge, looks down. Behind them a woman in a cream sari with a yellow shawl and a dark mala sits and watches, and a man in white with a mala stands at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-robed man with long hair, rudraksha mala and gold throne. The setting is a dais or hall with a forest photo backdrop.2010-09-12September 12 20102010-09-12 +1 copiesSeptember 12 20102010-09-12A photograph of a young boy in a white kurta with an orange-and-saffron scarf bowing his head while a man in an orange-and-maroon shawl places his right hand on the boy's head. The man wears multiple rudraksha bead bracelets and a gold bangle, and his face is cut off at the top of the frame. Behind them stands a gold-toned metal deity murti with a crown-like headdress, beside a brass vessel and green leaves, and a partly visible figure in white and gold dress stands at the left edge. The setting suggests a blessing or initiation moment during a ritual.2017-07-03A young boy in a white top and rudraksha mala sits with eyes closed while a person's hand rests on his head and another hand holds his hand. The person giving blessing wears a beaded rudraksha bracelet and an orange-and-white flower garland is visible at left. A gold deity murti or ornamental object and pink flowers appear in the background. Another person in white is partially visible at the right edge.2016-01-10November 30 20112011-11-30August 23 20152015-08-23April 23 20122012-04-23 +1 copiesA 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.2013-02-25July 11 20092009-07-11A young boy in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala stands with palms pressed together in anjali, eyes closed, as a man's hand rests on his forehead in a blessing. The blessing man, seen from behind and partly in profile, wears a red-and-yellow flower garland and has long hair and a beard; he wears a dark bead mala. Beside them, a partly visible person in white and a gilded lamp stand, with a red curtain in the background. The scene resembles a darshan blessing, shown in a photograph credited to the Nithyanandapedia archive.2017-02-19
