December 14 20132013-12-14August 23 20152015-08-23A photograph of a man with long swept-back dark hair and a red-orange shawl draped over bare shoulders, wearing a brown-beaded rudraksha mala and a gold-ornamented necklace, smiling broadly as he places his right palm on the forehead of a young boy in an orange robe with a dark ponytail. The man sits beside an ornate gold-carved throne. Other people in orange and white clothing stand in the background at a dim, outdoor-lit gathering. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ornate gold necklace, shawl over bare shoulders, and seated on an ornate throne, performing a blessing.2013-12-11A seated man in an orange-red unstitched cloth, wearing a long rudraksha mala and his hair tied up in a knot, rests his right hand on the head of a young boy in white shirt who kneels with palms joined. Beside them, a woman in a pink-and-white sari kneels with hands folded, and another woman in white with a rudraksha mala sits watching. A silver staff with a decorative top stands behind the seated man, and a gold-coloured ceremonial object sits in the lower foreground on red fabric. Several women in saris, one in blue and one in orange-pink, stand in the background of a hall with cream walls and a dark red curtain. The seated man has distinctive visible cues of orange clothing and rudraksha malas, so this may be a person giving blessing to a devotee, though the image is not clear enough for certainty.2014-07-06August 23 20152015-08-23A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red draped robe with a gold-toned beaded necklace and a gold hair ornament, his hair tied back in a bun, placing his right palm on the crown of a young boy's head. The boy in a light blue and white striped shirt stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes lowered. Behind them, a woman in a red-brown sari and a white-clad attendant hold rudraksha malas, and several children in orange and red clothing stand in the background. The scene resembles a blessing or padapuja-style darshan.2013-12-20A photograph of a seated man with long, swept-back dark hair, a vertical tilak on his forehead, layered rudraksha malas and a red-orange shawl over bare shoulders, placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in a blue-and-white striped shirt. The man sits beside a gilded throne with carved lion-face details. Behind them, a bald man in an orange-red robe with a rudraksha mala and gold border smiles, and other seated people sit in the darkened background, with a railing visible. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in the orange shawl with long hair, rudraksha malas and gilded throne, shown blessing the boy.2013-12-11October 17 20132013-10-17March 01 20132013-03-01A seated man in a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap with gold border, wearing a long rudraksha mala, rests his right hand on the head of a young boy in an orange-and-white striped shirt who leans forward with bowed head. The man has swept-back hair in a bun and a red tilak. Behind him a woman in white watches, and a gold-framed deity murti and a gold ornament sit on a table at the side of a hall with a projector screen and green plants. The gesture appears to be a blessing given during a gathering.2013-12-10A seated man in a rust-red robe and rudraksha mala, with a red bindi, smiles while placing his hand on the head of a kneeling child in a white head covering and white top. Beside him is an ornate gold-carved throne with lion-face motifs. Another person in red robes with a shaved head and glasses, and a partly visible figure, sit nearby at what appears to be a night-time gathering.2013-12-11August 02 20142014-08-02
