March 30 20122012-03-30A photograph of a seated man in an orange saffron robe with gold trim, wearing an orange turban and a long red and white flower garland, placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a grey-blue striped shirt who holds the seated man's bare foot. The seated man sits on a cream and gold throne draped with a tiger-stripe cloth, with red and white flowers behind him and orange curtains strung with red fairy lights. The scene resembles a padapuja foot-worship blessing. The seated man has long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style adornment and ceremonial gold ornaments, matching the Swamiji (probable) cues for an in-person presence.2012-03-30A seated man in an orange turban, orange shawl with gold border, and a red and white garland of flowers with black rudraksha beads smiles while a man in a white shirt sits in front of him with palms pressed together in greeting. Behind them stands a backdrop of red fairy lights, yellow marigold strands and white and red flowers, with a silver ceremonial staff at left and a striped throne cushion at right. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in orange turban, orange shawl, rudraksha mala and gold necklace matches the page's claim and the throne setting.2012-03-30A seated man in orange robes and an orange turban, wearing a red and white flower garland and a gold-trimmed orange shawl, sits on a cream and gold throne with a leopard-print cushion and smiles while placing his raised palm on the forehead of a man in a brown button-up shirt who kneels before him with his hands raised. Behind them hang strings of red, yellow and orange lights against orange drapery, and a woman in a yellow sari with a beaded necklace is partly visible at the right edge. A silver ritual object sits on the left. The seated figure matches an appearance-based Swamiji (probable) candidate given long swept-back hair, orange turban, orange robes and a flower garland, and he is performing a blessing on a devotee during a pratyaksha padapuja style darshan.2012-03-30October 10 20112011-10-10March 30 20122012-03-30A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair wears saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala across his chest, sitting on an ornate red and gold throne. He smiles broadly and places his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in an orange shirt with a red patterned shawl. The devotee has his palm raised in front of him. Behind them, a woman in white and other people in red and white clothing are visible, with green foliage in the background. The appearance-based cues of long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala are consistent with a probable Swamiji, seated in a blessing gesture.2016-05-06July 23 20122012-07-23A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with gold trim and a matching orange turban places his right palm on the forehead of a older man in a white shirt, who has his eyes closed and hands pressed together in prayer. The robed figure wears a red and yellow flower garland and has long dark hair and a crown-like ornament, with bare shoulder visible. Behind them, seated devotees in white and pale clothing and a red carpet fill a bright indoor hall with a window and lamp.2012-03-30A smiling man in an orange saffron shawl and a gold ceremonial necklace sits on a red velvet cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold throne-like backdrop, with a red bindi on his forehead. He reaches forward to touch the head of a second man in a white shirt, who is seen from behind with his hand raised. Yellow marigold garlands and red fabric draped behind them. The seated man is identified only by appearance: a person, seated and blessing a devotee.2011-12-17 +1 copiesMarch 30 20122012-03-30A seated man in an orange-red turban and saffron-orange robe, draped with a thick white flower garland, places his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a grey collared shirt with a wristwatch and hands joined in namaskar. The seated man smiles with eyes closed. Behind them are gold-coloured ornate panels, a red carpet, a white wall-mounted air conditioner and a standing fan. A second person in white clothes with a rudraksha mala is partly visible at the right edge. The appearance of the seated man is consistent with a person, with an orange turban, orange robes and a flower garland, but the photo does not establish this; he is shown giving a blessing to a devotee in a blessing or satsang setting.2015-09-27
