A photograph of a blessing moment indoors. A man with short hair and a moustache, wearing a white kurta with a red shawl and a rudraksha mala, sits with palms joined and eyes closed while another man places his right hand on the first man's forehead. The blessing figure has long dark hair swept back, a multicolour garland of pink, red and white flowers, and a tiger-striped garment with gold ornaments and a gold armlet. Behind them, photographers and people in white clothes with red shawls stand in a dim room. Swamiji (probable): the blessing figure has long swept-back hair, a flower garland, ornate gold jewellery and a patterned garment, cues consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.2012-12-16December 16 20122012-12-16December 19 20132013-12-19July 01 20162016-07-01A photograph of a satsang-style blessing. A man in a plain white kurta, with grey hair and a receding hairline, stands with his head tilted up while a bare-shouldered man with long dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a red bindi, a rudraksha mala with skull-shaped beads, a gold pendant necklace and a leopard-print shawl over orange-red cloth, presses his palms against the older man's forehead and smiles. To the left, a third man partly visible wears a red bindi, rudraksha beads and white cloth. Red curtains and a teal wall form the backdrop, with a wooden stand at the right edge.2013-03-31December 16 20122012-12-16September 07 20122012-09-07December 16 20122012-12-16January 12 20132013-01-12A photograph of an indoor darshan. A man with curly reddish-brown hair, wearing a white kurta and an orange-red shawl, leans forward with his hands raised toward a woman seated on a red velvet chair. She wears a tiger-striped garment, a pearl-strand necklace and a red-and-white flower garland, and she smiles as she places her palm on his forehead. Behind them a photographer in a dark top and red shawl takes pictures, and white-clad devotees sit on the floor near a bright studio light.2012-12-16A long-haired figure in a rust-red garment with a leopard-print wrap and a large cowrie-shell necklace stands at left, placing one hand on the forehead of a grey-haired man in a white t-shirt with an orange wristband, who holds his palms up in front of him. Behind them a man in white ritual dress with a white forehead band and rudraksha mala stands at center, and another man in white bends forward at right. In the background, a seated figure in orange and another person in white stand near potted plants and a window. A person in white ritual attire is visible, as well as a seated person in white with an ornate gold necklace. Several people are visible in the room.2013-03-19 +1 copiesIndoor photo of a ceremonial blessing. A man in a white shirt and white trousers with a red shawl stands at left, both hands raised and palms on the head of a seated man in a zebra-striped tiger-print cloth. The seated man wears a dark rudraksha mala with a ceremonial gold necklace, a white tripundra mark on the forehead, and holds a folded white paper in his hands while smiling and looking down. Behind them is a golden decorated backdrop and a silver trident at right. Two people are visible. The seated man is a candidate with several cues: swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and ornate tiger-print cloth, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person.2013-12-18
