A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, with long swept-back dark hair, a white vibhuti mark on the forehead, rudraksha malas and silver ceremonial necklaces, and bead bracelets, places his right hand on the forehead of a bald man in a white kurta wearing an orange scarf and rudraksha mala. The bald devotee holds his palm up in front of his face in receptive reverence. A gilded golden throne edge is visible at right.2012-08-26March 28 20082008-03-28A photograph of a seated figure in long dark hair and an orange garment with the bare upper torso, whose right hand rests on the forehead of a kneeling man in white clothes wearing a brown beaded mala, hands joined in prayer. Behind them a table holds a silver tray with offerings and small items, and an older man in orange and a white shawl stands in the background. The seated figure's distinctive long hair and orange clothing with a bare-chested drape are cues that make this a probable Swamiji (probable) giving blessing to a devotee in what looks like an ashram setting. The kneeling devotee wears a white kurta and an ID card on a lanyard. Red curtains and other people are partly visible around the room.2008-04-04March 26 20082008-03-26A woman with long swept-back dark hair, a yellow turmeric forehead mark with a red dot, and saffron-orange clothing draped over the shoulders, wearing layered rudraksha malas, rudraksha bracelets and a gold pendant, smiles while she holds her hands near the head of a bald man in white with a gold-bordered cloth. Her hand cups his head as he bows forward. Behind them, blurred seated audience members in orange, white and striped clothing watch in an indoor hall with a wooden pillar. A bell-like metal object hangs at the upper left. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan moment.2015-12-09April 22 20122012-04-22 +1 copiesAugust 22 20122012-08-22 +1 copies
