The seated man sits on an ornate gold throne-like chair with a peetha-style back in front of a backdrop of green foliage and garlands, with a tall white staff nearby and a brass plate of offerings. Another person in a white garment with a red shawl is visible at the right edge. The figure with long hair and distinctive adornments matches the a person appearance cues and is applying blessing marks as the presiding teacher during darshan.2014-12-26A man in a white shirt bends forward while a standing figure in an orange-saffron robe places a hand on his head. The standing figure wears long layered garlands of white flowers and red roses, a red bindi on the forehead, and a rudraksha-style mala. He holds a folded paper in his other hand, reading it. Behind them, a golden ornate structure, flowers and greenery fill the stage area under a grey canopy. Another person in white with a red mark stands at the left edge. The scene resembles a blessing or satsang-style interaction on stage.2012-07-03A photograph of a ritual blessing in a temple hall with arched cream walls and a yellow curtain behind. A bare-chested man in an orange-red cloth and a white jasmine garland, wearing rudraksha beads and a tilak with a red bindi, places his right hand on the head of a seated man in a white checked shirt. The blessed man has his eyes open and looks forward. The officiant holds a folded white paper in his left hand. Several other men stand around, some with hands raised in reverence. The officiant's appearance has some cues but is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role.2012-05-31A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and layered gold ceremonial necklaces, with a red-and-white tilak on his forehead and a multi-coloured garland of pink, teal and gold beads, holds a small folded paper in one hand while placing his other palm on the head of a kneeling devotee in a white checked shirt. Behind him are a red floral garland arrangement of marigolds and roses and a red cushioned seat. This appears to be a blessing or guidance moment during darshan. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style gold necklaces and a garland, matching the page's claim that Swamiji is present.2012-09-23April 02 20172017-04-02December 12 20162016-12-12
