The seated man holds a printed sheet of paper and smiles. Behind them stand a woman in white with a long beaded mala and several women in white and red-orange shawls. Gold lion-form armrests and a leopard-print seat cushion surround the throne-like chair, and a red carpet covers the floor.2016-02-02February 02 20162016-02-02A photo of a seated man in a rust-orange wrap with a long gold-beaded necklace and a white forehead mark, sitting on a leopard-print cushioned throne with gold carved armrests, pressing his hands to the forehead of a shaved-headed older man in white clothing and a rudraksha mala. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and appears bare-chested under the wrap; he is an appearance-based a person candidate. Behind them a woman in orange and another in white stand in an indoor hall with a window and a potted plant.2016-02-02A photograph of a seated man in an orange and gold saffron-toned dhoti wrap with a long rudraksha mala draped over his chest, his hair swept back into a bun. He raises his right hand to touch the forehead of a man in a white shirt who leans in with his hands raised. A seated figure in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and a bare upper body sits behind them, and a golden lion-head ritual object is in the foreground. Behind them stand devotees in white, a white pedestal fan, and a shrine decorated with red and yellow flower garlands and a deity murti.2013-09-29A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron cloth with a long rudraksha mala and a gold-bead necklace placing his right hand on the head of a second man, who bows forward in a white dhoti with a gold border and a rudraksha mala. Behind them, several women in white saris with red-brown shawls and lanyards sit and stand in a warmly lit hall, and a silver-coloured pole is visible at the left edge. The gesture suggests a blessing or initiation.2015-05-09May 09 20152015-05-09A photograph of a diksha-style blessing in an indoor hall. A man with a shaved head and a tilak mark on his forehead wears a crimson and gold robe, rudraksha mala beads and gold bangles, and reaches forward with his right arm extended, palm open toward the head of a seated devotee. The devotee, in a white shirt with short dark hair, bows forward with his hands raised to his head to receive the blessing. Behind them a seated woman in white with a dark beaded mala watches calmly, and a partially visible man in white sits at the right edge. A brocade-patterned wall and a projection screen stand in the background, and a gold object is visible at the lower left. The blessing figure has a tilak and no clearly distinctive long hair or crown, so identity is uncertain.2014-01-05September 30 20132013-09-30A seated teacher in a rust-orange robe with a long dark braid and a red and white flower garland touches the forehead of a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala. The teacher's hand is raised to the man's brow in a blessing gesture while the man holds his palm up. Behind them women in white sarees with red shawls stand and sit in a room with white walls and an air conditioner, and a woman in an orange saree with gold border and beaded mala watches at right. The seated teacher's cues include long hair, orange robe, flower garland and beaded ornaments, consistent with the page's Swamiji (probable) mention, but this is an appearance-based label only.2013-05-28July 28 20172017-07-28 +1 copiesApril 17 20142014-04-17
