A photograph of a smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red dot on his forehead, a red-orange robe and multiple beaded gold-toned necklaces, who places his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a grey shirt. Several other devotees in white and orange clothing stand with hands folded in prayer behind him, and a figure in orange is visible at the right edge. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with a red curtain. The robed figure's long hair, red robe, beaded necklaces and blessing gesture match a probable Swamiji, so the figure is described as Swamiji (probable) giving a blessing to a devotee.2012-04-05April 05 20122012-04-05Indoor photo of a long-haired man in a red and orange dhoti-style wrap, gold chain necklaces, multiple beaded bangles and a red bindi, bare-chested, lowering his right palm onto the head of a devotee who bows with hands pressed together. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and a saffron-red wrap, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event. Around him, a bespectacled saffron-robed sannyasi with tripundra marks and a white-clad elderly man with folded hands watch, while other devotees stand in the background of a hall with ceiling lights and a projection screen.2011-12-05A photograph inside an arched, cream-coloured hall with blue shutters and yellow drapery. A man in a saffron-orange shawl and dark rudraksha mala beads, with a red bindi and gold earring, extends his right hand to bless a devotee, placing his fingers on the man's head. Several devotees in white with sandalwood or ash markings on their foreheads stand with hands folded in anjali mudra. The scene resembles a blessing during satsang or darshan. Audio equipment is visible on a stand nearby.2012-05-28 +2 copiesJune 21 20122012-06-21Indoor photograph of a long-haired figure in a rust-orange wrap and a rudraksha-style beaded and gold ornamental necklace, seated and reaching forward to touch the forehead of a young man in a white kurta. The young man stands with palms pressed together in front of his face and the blessing hand raised. Behind them, a man in a striped shirt and a man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard stand near a window, a potted plant at left, and a seated person in white with mala beads is partly visible.

The young man holds his hands out in a gesture of receiving. Behind them, a man with a white shirt, grey hair and moustache presses his palms together in prayer, and a woman in an orange sari with a gold border stands in the background. The setting is a white-walled hall with a red carpet and a maroon cushion in the foreground.2013-07-03March 17 20132013-03-17A seated teacher in a rust-orange robe with a long dark braid and a red and white flower garland touches the forehead of a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala. The teacher's hand is raised to the man's brow in a blessing gesture while the man holds his palm up. Behind them women in white sarees with red shawls stand and sit in a room with white walls and an air conditioner, and a woman in an orange saree with gold border and beaded mala watches at right. The seated teacher's cues include long hair, orange robe, flower garland and beaded ornaments, consistent with the page's Swamiji (probable) mention, but this is an appearance-based label only.2013-05-28November 29 20112011-11-29May 21 20122012-05-21
