May 09 20142014-05-09December 16 20132013-12-16A seated man in an orange-red saffron wrap with a gold bead necklace and a red-brown dot on his forehead extends his right hand to bless the head of a younger man in a white kurta. The seated man has long dark hair in a bun with a red flower, holds a silver staff with a finial in his left hand, and a gold ornamented throne arm and red velvet drapes frame the scene.2014-07-14May 01 20142014-05-01A seated man in an orange-red robe with a gold border and a rudraksha mala necklace places his right hand on the forehead of a bald man in a white kurta, who stands with palms pressed together and eyes closed. The seated man wears a white tilak mark on his forehead and has long swept-back dark hair. Behind them a gold deity murti is visible, and a projector screen shows a golden image. The setting is an indoor satsang-style gathering with red curtains and a wall sconce. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron-orange robes and rudraksha mala necklaces, while the standing devotee receives his blessing.2014-01-03A seated figure with a shaved head? No: a figure with long dark hair wearing a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, a gold bangle and a maroon-and-gold draped garment places one raised hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl. The recipient stands with palms together at his waist while the officiant holds a folded paper in the other hand. Behind them stand women in white and orange clothing and gold-embroidered draperies, with a golden ornamental panel at left. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan ritual inside a temple setting.2015-10-24A photograph of two men in a seated indoor setting with a gold oil lamp and a brass lamp stand behind them, and a colourful painted backdrop. The man on the left has long, swept-back dark hair, a small red bindi, a bare shoulder, and a dark purple-maroon draped cloth with an orange edge, seated on a red upholstered chair. The man on the right, in a white shirt with a red and blue cord around his neck, stands and presses his hand to the seated man's forehead in a blessing or touching gesture. The seated figure's appearance is distinctive with long hair and bare shoulder, though identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2011-08-20A photo taken at an indoor hall during a seated interaction. On the left, a bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair and a braided plait sits on a gold-ornamented seat, wearing a rust-orange wrap with a yellow-gold border, a red bindi and white forehead marks, smiling broadly. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron/orange wrap, ornate gold seat and forehead markings. His outstretched arm reaches toward a shaven-headed man on the right in a white kurta, who raises both palms toward the seated figure's forehead and smiles. The right man wears a red lanyard badge. Behind them are a black speaker, a white screen and red-cushioned chairs.2013-12-13August 01 20142014-08-01A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, a gold ornate necklace and a rudraksha-style gold bead garland, places his right hand on the crown of a young man kneeling before him in a white shirt with an orange-red patterned shawl. The seated figure appears to be a person, given his saffron clothing, long hair and gold ornaments, and is seated on an ornate golden throne beside a silver staff with a golden peetha-like top. The kneeling devotee receives blessing with palms raised. Red and gold drapes form the background, and a golden lion-head ornament is visible at the left edge.2014-07-14Indoor photo of a seated guru in a saffron-orange robe with a beaded mala-style necklace and yellow tilak on his forehead, reaching to touch the forehead of a standing man in a white shirt who is closing his eyes and tilting his head up. The guru sits on a red-upholstered throne with a gilded carved back, and a red and beige decorated backdrop frames the room. The guru's appearance matches the a person cues of ornate saffron clothing, a beaded necklace and a throne, so he is labelled a person in this depiction of a blessing given during satsang-style darshan.2014-01-14September 09 20122012-09-09
