The yellow-shirted devotee has his palms pressed together above his head and eyes closed. Behind them, a woman in white and an elderly woman in a sari watch, and a fan and white walls are visible. The seated man shows appearance cues consistent with Swamiji (probable): long hair, rudraksha mala, and saffron-orange robes, giving a blessing during satsang.2014-07-06A photo of a blessing or initiation moment on a red-carpeted stage. A man in a rust-orange garment with a rudraksha mala and a hair bun presses his right palm onto the forehead of a man in a dark grey button-up shirt, who holds his hands raised, palms open, beside his head. A woman in white with a beaded mala sits behind them holding a folded white paper, and a silver-topped staff stands beside the seated figure. Gold ritual items are in the lower left foreground, and a maroon curtain hangs behind the stage. The orange-clad figure is a person by appearance cues (rudraksha mala, saffron clothing, bun), but the face is not clear enough to confirm.2014-07-06A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-orange wrap with long dark hair tied back and a rudraksha mala draped over the shoulder, extending one hand toward the forehead of a man in a white shirt with a white ID badge who holds his palm up. A silver-toned ceremonial staff stands between them, with a gold-coloured throne or cushion in the foreground. Behind them, several women in white and pink clothing stand in a room with a red carpet and white cabinetry. The seated figure's cues match a candidate with distinctive visible adornments, consistent with the page's reference to a person at this event.2014-07-06July 06 20142014-07-06March 26th 20142014-03-26January 03 20142014-01-03September 03 20142014-09-03May 09 20142014-05-09A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala and gold beaded necklaces, reaching out to bless a young man in a red t-shirt who leans in with his palm raised to his forehead.

The recipient holds his hands in anjali mudra and wears a rudraksha bracelet. Behind them are beige padded panels, a gold-coloured fabric and a red cloth at the left edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, ornate clothing and ceremonial beads, so Swamiji (probable) is the appearance-based label for this in-person blessing moment.2013-12-03
