A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a carved lion-head armrest, wearing an orange-brown silk garment and a pink-beaded necklace, places one hand on the head of a bowing devotee in a pink long-sleeved kurta and white dhoti with a rudraksha mala. The devotee bends forward with hands joined, apparently receiving blessing in a padapuja-style darshan. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and orange robes stand watching, one smiling, and a woman in a white sari stands at left. A patterned carpet covers the floor, with a water bottle and paper at lower left.2013-12-29December 29 20132013-12-29May 12 20122012-05-12A photograph of a ritual blessing indoors. A man in an orange-red saffron robe, bare-shouldered, with a white horizontal vibhuti band across his forehead, long dark hair swept back, rudraksha malas and gold necklaces, and a beaded belt, places his hand on the head of an elderly bald man in a white shirt who stands with his hands joined in namaste. Other men in orange and white stand nearby, one wearing a white tilak band, and a man on the left with white forehead markings also joins his hands. Behind them is a framed deity image with a gold arch and a red-lit backdrop. The orange-robed man appears to be a probable Swamiji by appearance, given his long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha adornments, while the elderly man receives the blessing as a devotee. Seven people are visible.2012-09-28May 13 20132013-05-13A seated person in a rust-orange silk garment with a bare shoulder wears a long orange-and-cream beaded necklace and a small vibhuti mark on the forehead, with hair in a bun. They smile while placing a hand on the head of a man in a blue checked shirt who kneels at the left, and a second man in a striped grey shirt bows low in front of them. Behind them stand people in orange robes with rudraksha malas. In front are a red tray with apples and a bowl of sweets, a purple cloth, and a small golden figure. The scene suggests an honouring or blessing exchange, though the seated person's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.2013-12-31 +2 copiesA photograph of a satsang setting in an indoor hall. A long-haired figure in a rust-orange robe and a rudraksha mala sits on a plush maroon velvet chair, placing a hand on the forehead of a seated devotee in a white shirt and white trousers with hands joined in namaskar. Behind them are white floor-standing air coolers and a window, and a staff member in a white polo with an orange lanyard kneels at the right edge. A tray with fruit and offerings sits at the lower left. A devotee's blessing is shown, and a person candidate is seated on the throne.2013-05-15August 04 20132013-08-04May 17 20132013-05-17January 01 20142014-01-01October 20 20132013-10-20March 21 20132013-03-21
