A photograph of a seated man in an orange-red robe with a gold-yellow border and a rudraksha bead necklace, with a white tilak on his forehead and hair tied back, placing his right palm on the forehead of a short-haired man in a blue-and-white striped shirt with a wristwatch, who leans forward with his eyes closed. A bright screen and red curtain are in the background, and gold ritual items are at the left edge. The gesture resembles a blessing or darshan. Appearance-based identity is uncertain, so the seated figure is described by role only.2014-01-03July 06 20132013-07-06May 09 20142014-05-09A long-haired man in an orange-brown shawl and rudraksha mala stands at left, his right hand raised to touch the forehead of a young man in a white t-shirt with an orange lanyard and ID badge who stands with eyes closed and palms pressed together. The standing man has long black hair in a bun and a ceremonial bead necklace; he appears to be a person and is giving blessing or initiation. Behind them, women in orange and green saris watch, and a seated man in white dhoti with a forehead tilak smiles at lower centre. A white wall, a red curtain and a standing fan form the setting.2013-07-20A 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.2015-10-24March 20 20132013-03-20 +1 copiesApril 14 20122012-04-14 +1 copiesJuly 06 20142014-07-06June 01 20142014-06-01April 01 20132013-04-01 +1 copiesA 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.2013-12-13April 22 20142014-04-22
