A photograph of a bare-chested young man with short hair kneeling before a seated bearded figure on a golden ornate throne. The seated figure wears an orange-brown robe, a thick red and white floral garland, a gold ornament at the neck, a rudraksha bracelet, and a white tripundra mark on the forehead, and places his right hand on the devotee's head in blessing. Behind them stand a gold trident and a ceremonial staff with a brass top, with warm stage lights and red drapery in the background.2017-04-08A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair worn down her back and multiple rudraksha malas on her chest is placing her right hand on the crown of a man's head as he tilts his face upward with eyes closed. The man wears a blue-and-white checked short-sleeved shirt and holds his hands out to the side. She sits on a deep red velvet seat, a microphone stand visible at left. Behind them stands a colourful garlanded backdrop of red, yellow, white, green and purple flowers around a deity murti, a sign of blessing or darshan. At lower right an older man in white ritual dress with a shaved head, tilak and rudraksha mala looks on. The scene reads as a blessing ceremony in a temple-style setting.2013-07-04A photograph of a seated man in orange-saffron robes with a gold-edged border, wearing multiple strands of large rudraksha malas and a gold pendant necklace, a leopard-print headwrap with a crescent ornament and long dreadlocked hair, and a red tilak on his forehead. He smiles while a younger man in a white kurta, seen from behind, raises his palm toward the seated man's forehead in a blessing gesture. A red cushion and dark background surround them, and a partial brass vessel is visible at the lower left. Swamiji (probable) is seated as the blessing recipient, distinguished by saffron robes, rudraksha malas and a crown-like ornament.2017-08-10A photograph of a bearded man with long dreadlocks wrapped with a rudraksha mala headband, wearing a red-brown wrap, a thick rudraksha mala and a garland of red roses and yellow marigolds. He smiles as he places his right hand on the head of a man in a white shirt and glasses who bows forward, receiving blessing. A bracelet of wooden beads is on the wrist. Behind them a blue starry backdrop, and a white ornate chair edge is visible at left. Appearance-based candidate: a person, identified by the dreadlocks, rudraksha malas, garland and red wrap while giving blessing on stage.2018-04-15A photograph of a ceremonial moment in which a bearded man in a rust-red wrap and a braided red and dark turban, adorned with rudraksha beads and a gold necklace, places his palm on the forehead of an older grey-haired man in a white garment. The older man is bowing forward, and a red tray or plate is visible in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is a bearded, long-haired figure in a rust-red wrap with rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold necklace, giving a blessing. Background shows ornate white and pink draping, a leopard-print cloth and a pillar.2018-04-30A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-orange turban and orange-and-yellow robe, wearing a beaded brown necklace, placing a hand on the forehead of a bearded man in a white kurta with an orange shawl, who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. A gold-carved throne and red draped backdrop frame the scene, with other robed attendees in orange and white behind them. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a turban, saffron-orange robe and ceremonial beaded necklaces, consistent with the page's attribution, so the appearance label is probable. The bearded devotee is receiving a blessing at the forehead.2015-10-25February 17 20182018-02-17April 19 20182018-04-19April 08 20172017-04-08September 01 20142014-09-01April 25 20182018-04-25 +1 copiesMarch 02 20182018-03-02 +1 copies
