February 19 20152015-02-19A seated man with long dark hair, a white forehead mark and a red bindi wears a rust-orange shawl over a bare shoulder, with a leopard-print cloth, a long white bead garland and a wide wooden-bead mala across his chest. He raises a palm toward a young boy in a white shirt and orange-trimmed garland, who raises his own palm to meet it, as if in a blessing or high-five exchange. The man holds a small white card or paper slip and sits beside a red box of sweets, with a gold-framed throne edge and red curtains behind. Based on appearance, the seated man matches the a person description given his long hair, rudraksha-style mala and orange clothing, but the identification is uncertain.2013-05-18A seated figure in a maroon-red sannyasi robe with an orange sash and rudraksha mala beads sits on a red cushioned seat, smiling broadly with a white vibhuti marking and red kumkum dot on the forehead, raising one palm toward a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala who stands with hands folded in namaskar. A gold-colored ornamental figure and yellow drape stand behind, with green potted plants and a fan nearby, and other white-clad attendees stand in the background. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person given the saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial setting, so this is treated as in person and an appearance-based identity claim. Two people are clearly visible plus additional partial figures in the background.2015-02-15A seated man with long dark hair pulled back, wearing a rust-red shawl over his shoulder and a gold-toned chain with rudraksha beads, places his palm on the forehead of a short-haired man in a white long-sleeved top. 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.2013-12-03A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long swept-back hair, a white forehead mark, a red bindi, and a long gold-beaded necklace extends his hand toward a standing man in a white kurta with an orange shawl printed with script, and a red-and-white rope around his neck. The standing man raises both palms in greeting. A silver staff with a ornate finial stands between them, and gold-coloured throne ornaments and a red-curtained wooden lattice frame the background. Two people are physically present.2014-08-31February 19 20152015-02-19July 14 20132013-07-14July 06 20122012-07-06July 03 20132013-07-03A photograph of two men in an indoor hall with beige wood-panelled walls. On the left, a smiling man with a topknot, white forehead markings, a rudraksha mala necklace and a bare shoulder wrapped in a maroon and gold shawl, is gently pressing his palm against the forehead of a man on the right. The recipient wears a white t-shirt, a green-edged white collar and a rudraksha mala, with eyes closed. A golden cloth-covered object sits in the background.2013-12-08A photograph of a long-haired man in a rust-orange robe and a rudraksha mala, with a white vibhuti mark on his forehead, sitting on a red cushioned seat and reaching forward to touch the forehead of a man in a white shirt. Probable Swamiji is the seated figure, wearing a distinctive long, swept-back hair and rudraksha beads, giving a blessing. The recipient, in white, stands with eyes lowered. A woman in white with a vibhuti mark sits at the right edge. Behind them are a golden draped cloth, purple and gold fabrics, potted green plants and a bronze-coloured drum.2015-02-19July 14 20132013-07-14
