A man in a maroon kurta with a geometric pattern stands with eyes closed and head bowed as a seated figure in maroon and gold ceremonial robes places his right palm on the man's forehead. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, a white tripundra mark on the forehead, and a gold necklace, and sits near a red cushion. Behind them hang red curtains and a projection screen, with a seated woman in red at the right edge. The gesture appears to be a blessing or transmission of energy during a satsang setting. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by long swept-back hair, gold ceremonial necklace and maroon-gold robes, seen in person giving the blessing.2014-01-02November 05 20132013-11-05July 17 20132013-07-17January 02 20142014-01-02A seated figure in orange and gold-trimmed robes, with long dark hair and a strand of rudraksha beads with gold accents, places a palm on the forehead of a young man in a maroon kurta with a visitor badge. The young man holds his hands out in a gesture of receiving. Behind them, a man with a white shirt, grey hair and moustache presses his palms together in prayer, and a woman in an orange sari with a gold border stands in the background. The setting is a white-walled hall with a red carpet and a maroon cushion in the foreground.2013-07-03A seated priest in a rust-brown and gold-bordered dhoti-style cloth with white vibhuti marks on his forehead and orange-red beaded necklaces places his right hand on the forehead of a shaven-headed man in an orange-red robe and rudraksha mala, who has white tilak marks and an earring. Behind them a seated woman in a maroon robe and dark beads watches, and two people in cream and white stand in a room with red curtains. The scene resembles a forehead blessing or initiation during a ritual.2013-11-05A photograph of a seated man in a white shirt with a blue lanyard being touched on the forehead by a bare-chested figure in saffron-orange cloth with a green-beaded and gold ornate necklace and gold earrings, with dark hair in a bun, in front of red drapery. The blessing gesture suggests a darshan-style exchange; Swamiji (probable) cues: ornate gold and green beaded necklace, saffron cloth, and the swept-back hair style with gold earring, paired with the officiant role of the blessing figure. The man receiving the blessing has closed eyes and a moustache.2012-08-21 +1 copiesSeptember 04 20112011-09-04 +1 copiesDecember 17 20132013-12-17August 22 20122012-08-22 +1 copiesA photograph of a darshan moment indoors in front of a red draped cloth.
