March 03 20152015-03-03 +1 copiesMay 28 20132013-05-28A seated figure in an orange-brown robe with a rudraksha-style bead necklace reaches forward and places a hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl, who has his palms pressed together in respect. The seated figure has long dark hair tied back and gold earrings and is smiling. Behind them hang red and orange draped fabrics, with flowers at the upper left. Two more people are partly visible in the background, including a woman with a red bindi and a person at the right edge. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable) from the distinctive long hair, rudraksha beads and ceremonial saffron-toned robes, shown giving a blessing to a devotee.2012-07-11May 28 20132013-05-28February 25 20152015-02-25December 12 20132013-12-12A photograph of two men in a close one-on-one blessing. On the left, a man with long dark hair tied back wears a rust-red shawl over a gold-bordered garment and has a yellow sandalwood mark on his forehead; he is seated, raising his right hand palm-out while his other hand rests on the crown of the head of a bald man on the right. The bald man wears a white kurta with a rudraksha-style mala at his neck and bows forward with his eyes closed, hands pressed together at the top of his head. A gold bangle is visible on the blessing man's wrist, and a red cushioned seat and gold ornament are visible at the edges. The setting is a warm-toned room with wooden doors and a red banner behind. Appearance-based label: a person for the man in the rust-red shawl, shown in person giving a blessing to a devotee.2014-01-13A photograph of a shaven-headed? no. A man with a topknot bun wearing an orange-red saffron robe and a rudraksha mala stands leaning forward, placing his right hand on the forehead of an older man in a white shirt. The older man has both arms raised high in an open-palmed gesture, eyes closed, head tilted back. Behind them a second man in white stands near a red curtain, and several people in white garments stand in the background. Green potted plants and a brass or golden ritual implement appear in the foreground.2015-02-23May 03 20142014-05-03A 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.2015-02-15May 19 20132013-05-19May 13 20132013-05-13
