Several devotees in white shirts stand with palms pressed together in namaskar. Beside him, a second man in an orange robe and rudraksha beads smiles. Palm-leaf decorations hang from a corrugated metal roof overhead. The man in the central saffron shawl matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, and is shown giving blessings to devotees in an ashram setting.2010-11-14 +1 copiesNovember 08 20112011-11-08A seated saffron-robed figure with long dark hair, white tilak on forehead, a white ceremonial necklace and rudraksha malas, smiles while an elderly woman in a gold-bordered orange-gold sari with a red-beaded headpiece sits beside them, her hands together.
