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.2014-01-05A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair in a low knot, wearing a rust-orange draped robe and a red and gold flower garland, placing a hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt with an orange-red shawl. A woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala sits at the lower right, and white-clothed people stand in the background. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and orange robes with a garland, a compatible appearance for a person, giving blessing to the devotee; this is an appearance-based label only.2013-05-28A seated man in a rust-orange robe with a rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder and a white vertical mark on his forehead reaches out and places his right palm on the forehead of a short-haired woman in a white top with a rudraksha mala. She presses her palms together in anjali near her face. Behind them stand people in white clothes, potted green plants, a ceiling fan, and gold and purple draped fabric on an altar-like setting. The man has long dark hair tied back and appears to be giving blessing or diksha-style touch. Visible people: about four.2015-02-19A seated man in a saffron-orange draped garment with a bare shoulder wears long dark hair swept back into a knot, multiple rudraksha mala beads and gold bangles on his upper arm and wrist. He sits on a red patterned cushion and extends his right hand toward the forehead of a younger man in a white kurta with long dark hair, who raises his hands in response. A small folded towel lies on the cushion beside him. Another person sits partly visible at the lower right, and a standing figure is faintly visible at the far right edge. A white wall, window and pedestal fan form the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and saffron clothing match the page's claim, so this is an in-person candidate.2013-07-17A seated man in a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap with a long swept-back ponytail and a red-and-white flower garland extends his right hand to touch the forehead of a younger man in a white t-shirt with an orange rudraksha-style mala. The younger man has his palms raised in a receiving gesture. Behind them, women in saffron, orange and white saris and a woman in white hold brass plates, and a white wall-mounted air conditioner is visible in an indoor hall. A gold bracelet is on the seated man's wrist.2013-05-28May 01 20142014-05-01May 01 20142014-05-01A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-brown shawl over a bare shoulder and rudraksha bracelets and mala beads, extends his right arm to touch the forehead of a young man in a white kurta with a red shawl and rudraksha mala. The young man raises his hands in response, with a blue badge on his chest. Behind them, devotees in white clothes and red shawls sit in a hall with a flower-decorated backdrop, and a seated person in white and rudraksha beads is visible in the foreground. The scene appears to be a blessing moment during satsang.2013-07-10
