December 28 20142014-12-28December 26 20142014-12-26A photograph of a long-haired man with flowing dark hair and a rust-red cloth draped over his bare shoulder, placing his hand on the head of a smiling man in a white kurta with a red patterned shawl. Behind them stands a second man in white with a red shawl, a woman in white with a red shawl holding her hands up in greeting, and a person in green. Ornate gold garlands and a decorated deity murti are visible in the background, with stage lights and microphone stands at right. The scene appears to be a blessing or initiation gesture during a ritual.2014-12-24December 28 20142014-12-28December 28 20142014-12-28December 24 20142014-12-24A photograph of a darshan moment. A man with long swept-back hair, a small red tilak on his forehead, a gold necklace of large ornaments and a red-orange shawl sits on a red cushioned seat and reaches out to touch the forehead of a man in a white shirt and red-orange cloth wrap. The recipient raises both hands in a gesture of reverence and wears a rudraksha bracelet. Behind them stands a polished silver trishul with a red bead, and a green palm plant and gold ornaments fill the background. Probable Swamiji is the seated figure with the long hair, gold necklace and orange-red shawl, giving blessing to the devotee.2014-08-01December 26 20142014-12-26Photograph of a seated man in rust-orange robes with a long swept-back hair, wearing a thick red and yellow bead garland and a rudraksha-style mala, touching the forehead of a clean-shaven man in white shirt with an orange-red shawl and hair tied in a bun, who holds his palms together. Swamiji (probable) is seated on a dark cushioned seat with a golden-orange cloth; the seated figure has long hair, rust robes, a red bead garland and gold necklace cues. Behind them, women in orange and white saris, and a woman in white with an orange shawl, sit and stand in a hall with a floor fan and a pot of orange offerings nearby.2013-05-28A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne extending his right hand to touch the forehead of a standing devotee in a white shirt and white dhoti with an orange-red shawl printed with script, hands folded in greeting. The seated figure wears a rust-red garment, a long brown rudraksha mala draped across the chest, and has long swept-back hair with a white forehead mark. Behind them are garlands of gold-coloured beads, a tall silver staff, potted plants, red flowers and a red cushion. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a rust-red robe, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event. A second person is partly visible at the right edge.2014-12-26A seated figure in an orange-brown robe with a rudraksha-style bead necklace reaches forward and places a hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl, who has his palms pressed together in respect. The seated figure has long dark hair tied back and gold earrings and is smiling. Behind them hang red and orange draped fabrics, with flowers at the upper left. Two more people are partly visible in the background, including a woman with a red bindi and a person at the right edge. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable) from the distinctive long hair, rudraksha beads and ceremonial saffron-toned robes, shown giving a blessing to a devotee.2012-07-11July 05 20152015-07-05 +1 copies
