The seated man has long dark hair worn back, a full beard, a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, bangles on his arm, and a saffron-orange shawl over bare shoulders; he raises his right hand to touch the forehead of the kneeling man, who wears a rust-red shirt, a watch and bracelets and has long wavy hair. Behind them a man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala and a tilak stands, with gold ceremonial staffs, a red carpet, a pedestal fan and a camera on a tripod in the room. Several onlookers stand in the background.2016-11-16March 25 20172017-03-25April 04 20172017-04-04May 24 20182018-05-24 +1 copiesDecember 12 20162016-12-12Photo of two men in close conversation at a seated ritual gathering. On the left, a bare-chested man with long dreadlocked hair and a short beard wears a rust-orange shawl and multiple rudraksha mala beads, his hands extended toward the right. On the right, a man in glasses with curly hair wears a rudraksha mala and white ash markings on his arms and chest, clasping his palms together in a gesture of respect. Behind them, other seated attendees and white draped seating are visible, with a bearded man in the background wearing a red tilak mark on his forehead.2018-04-13 +1 copiesA seated man with long dreadlocked hair and a full beard sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with a red cushion, smiling and gesturing with an open hand. He wears a rust-orange robe, a matching orange shawl, a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, a gold ceremonial necklace, gold earrings, and beaded rudraksha armbands on both arms. Beside him on the left, a man in a white shirt sits with palms pressed together in greeting. Next to him, a man with a vibhuti mark on his forehead, bare-chested with a rudraksha mala and a white dhoti, holds a red fruit in his hands. Brass lamps stand in the background on a dark red carpet. The seated figure matches the appearance cues for a person, seated in a position of teaching, with two attendants.2016-11-11July 06 20122012-07-06March 03 20172017-03-03June 30 20162016-06-30Photograph of a bare-chested man in long dark hair and a beard, wearing an orange-brown shawl and a thick rudraksha mala, placing his right hand on the forehead of a seated man in a white kurta with an orange scarf. The seated man has his palms together in namaskar and a yellow tilak-like mark is visible on his forehead. Behind them, a smiling person in a red turban and white garland sits near a golden throne-like seat and gilded decorations. The setting suggests a blessing or puja moment in an ashram hall. Swamiji (probable): the standing man has long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and an orange shawl, consistent with a distinctive presentation, so the swamiji value is in_person.2016-07-13
