August 30 20152015-08-30A seated man in orange and rust-coloured robes with a gold-bordered shawl and a long rudraksha-style bead necklace extends his right arm to press his palm onto the forehead of a man in a white t-shirt with a blue collar who kneels with hands raised palm-out. The robed figure has a white tripundra on his forehead and a gold chain around his neck; a red-and-blue bead bracelet and wristwatch are visible. Behind them are a red cushioned seat, a golden ornate structure and a standing pillar with a gold finial. A woman in a cream sari with a white forehead mark watches at the right edge, and an air conditioner sits in the background. The scene reads as a blessing or energy darshan in a temple-like hall.2015-08-31 +1 copiesA bare-chested man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a saffron-orange shawl and a thick ceremonial beaded necklace of rudraksha-style malas, presses his palms to the forehead of a smiling bald man in a white kurta with an orange lanyard and wristwatch. Both are smiling. Behind them stand gold ritual objects, a gold kalasha-style lamp stand and a deep red cloth backdrop. Two other people in white and pastel clothing stand in the background. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and layered malas, matching the Nithyananda Paramashivam archive context; the figure is performing a blessing-style touch on the devotee's head.2015-10-06August 30 20152015-08-30 +1 copiesA seated man in a rust-red and gold-bordered robe with a rudraksha-style beaded necklace and white forehead markings smiles and reaches out to rest his arm on the shoulder of a younger man in a white t-shirt, who kneels with his palm raised in front of the seated figure. A woman in a white sari with a beaded necklace watches from the right. Behind them is a gold-toned ornate carved panel, with a metal stand and a wall unit visible.2015-08-31 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man in a red and gold saffron-toned robe with a gold-coloured ceremonial necklace and a white forehead mark, bare-shouldered, receiving a blessing as a standing man in a white kurta and a rudraksha mala raises his hands toward him, palms outward, while a woman in cream with a dark bead necklace watches at the right. Gold ornate decor and a red cushioned seat frame the scene.2015-08-30 +1 copiesA seated figure in a maroon-red sannyasi robe with an orange sash and rudraksha mala beads sits on a red cushioned seat, smiling broadly with a white vibhuti marking and red kumkum dot on the forehead, raising one palm toward a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala who stands with hands folded in namaskar. A gold-colored ornamental figure and yellow drape stand behind, with green potted plants and a fan nearby, and other white-clad attendees stand in the background. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person given the saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial setting, so this is treated as in person and an appearance-based identity claim. Two people are clearly visible plus additional partial figures in the background.2015-02-15A seated man with long swept-back hair, a white vibhuti marking on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and orange-saffron cloth sits on a gold-framed throne in a temple-like hall. Facing him, a bearded man in a white kurta raises both hands in a blessing or pranam gesture toward the seated man's head. Behind them, a deity murti is decorated with red flower garlands and a purple cloth, with red drapery and gold pillars. A standing man in white dhoti and shirt watches at right. The seated man's distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala make him a probable Swamiji in person.2013-09-28A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured necklace, reaching his palms toward a younger man in a white shirt and a rudraksha mala who holds his hands up to meet them. The saffron-robed man appears to be giving a blessing or energy transmission. Behind them, another man in white ritual clothing with a yellow-bordered dhoti sits, and an air conditioner and cream wall fill the background.2013-07-01December 06 20132013-12-06Indoor photograph of a long-haired man with swept-back dark hair, wearing a rust-red wrap, an orange rudraksha mala and a heavy ceremonial gold bead necklace, seated and smiling as he raises his right hand high to meet the raised palm of a shaved-headed young man in a white sleeveless top with an orange cloth around his neck. Behind them stand men in white and red shawls, a man in a blue shirt in the foreground, and two white cooling fans against a cream wall. The scene resembles a blessing or greeting between seated teacher and devotee.2013-04-01July 02 20132013-07-02
