September 13 20112011-09-13January 02 20162016-01-02 +1 copiesA photograph of an outdoor evening ceremony beside a golden ornate chair with an orange fringed canopy at the left edge. A man with long dark hair in a bun, a gold-and-brown beaded mala and a rust-red draped garment touches the forehead of a older man with grey hair who wears a white shirt, a red-and-white sash and beaded malas, with his palms raised. Behind them, women in gold and rust saris and white garments stand among onlookers, with white canopy tents and trees in the background. The scene suggests a blessing exchange, with the seated figure's palms raised near his face as if receiving it.2013-12-20A bare-chested man in white dhoti with a red sash bends forward at the waist while another person's hand, wearing gold and beaded bangles, rests on his head in a blessing gesture. He wears a white cord and a gold pendant, and has white ash marks on his chest and forehead. Behind them, two men stand in white dhotis, one with a red-and-white cord around his neck and sandalwood or vibhuti marks on his forehead. The setting is a dim interior with greenery at the left edge.2016-09-09A bare-chested man with a short beard and tilak on his forehead kneels with palms pressed together and eyes closed while a person in a rust-orange garment and gold bangles places a hand on his head in blessing. Gold vessels appear at the lower left, and a bright sign or banner is visible in the background. The scene reads as a darshan blessing during a yoga programme. The blessing giver is an unnamed attendant, and no one is identified as a person in this frame.2017-08-23A photograph of a long-haired man in a saffron-and-gold wrap with a rudraksha mala touching the forehead of a bald man in white clothes and an orange shawl, both smiling with raised hands. Behind them, several people in white and orange sit on a red mat before red drapes and an ornate golden deity murti, with a bundle of sticks held near the frame. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation exchange. The long-haired man with ornate cues matches the in-person candidate on the page, though identity is uncertain from appearance.2015-07-19July 10 20132013-07-10A photograph of a guru-disciple blessing at an indoor satsang. A man with long dark hair, bare-shouldered in an orange-brown wrap, sits on the left with a tilak on his forehead and rudraksha beads around his neck and wrist, placing his palm on the forehead of a young man in a white kurta with a red-orange shawl, eyes closed, hands raised in respect. Behind them a seated man in white with rudraksha mala and a gold-yellow stole watches, and other devotees in red and orange shawls stand near floral decorations. The left figure matches the Swamiji (probable) presentation through his long hair, orange wrap and rudraksha malas, so he is marked as in_person. Five people are visible.2013-07-10A photo of a seated man in a red-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a red-and-gold headband, a long orange rudraksha mala and a golden-tone necklace, marking the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta with a red shawl, who has his hands folded in namaskar. A woman in white with a yellow-and-red tilak watches beside him. The seated man holds a folded white paper and a silver-topped staff stands nearby, with a golden deity murti and a water bottle at the edge.
