He leans forward and accepts a folded paper from a kneeling man in a white checked shirt. Behind them a woman in orange robes with a brown beaded rudraksha mala stands and smiles, with another orange-clad person at the right edge. Warm light and a dark red curtain fill the background.2014-04-27December 02 20132013-12-02December 11 20132013-12-11September 09 20122012-09-09December 13 20132013-12-13A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair, wearing a pale green embroidered garment and a white turban-style headpiece with gold trim, receiving water poured from a terracotta pot. An older man in white kurta and glasses, with an orange scarf, bends forward with cupped hands held toward the seated figure. A younger man in white with an orange scarf stands behind holding the pot, and bald men in orange and white robes stand in the background. A woman in the lower left corner is partly visible. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with a red curtain. This looks like a ritual washing or abhishekam-style offering of water.2010-09-02A seated man in an orange-red robe with a rudraksha mala and white tilak on his forehead reaches out to place his right hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt, standing in front of him. A silver staff with a trident-like top and a golden lion-headed seat are visible beside them, in a temple-style hall with red and orange wooden latticework. The seated figure, shown with long swept-back hair and ornate clothing, is a probable Swamiji blessing a devotee during a pada-puja or darshan style encounter.2014-09-05A seated man in a rust-red shawl and leopard-print cloth, wearing a white forehead mark, a jasmine and rudraksha garland, and gold earrings, places his palm on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt with a blue collar and rudraksha mala. The seated figure holds a white paper in his other hand, and bananas rest near the kneeling man. Behind them a smiling person in orange robes with an orange shawl and white forehead marks stands by a red curtain. The seated figure's appearance with rudraksha and garland fits the a person cues, so the candidate is described as a seated teacher blessing a devotee.2014-04-27A photograph of a seated figure with a swept-back dark hair, white vibhuti horizontal marks and a red kumkum dot on the forehead, bare-shouldered and wearing a deep red shawl with gold border and a long gold-beaded necklace. He reaches to touch the crown of a man kneeling in front of him; the man wears a white kurta, a thin gold chain, and has his palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them stand a golden lion-headed throne armrest, orange and blue drapes, and a garland of yellow and red flowers. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a ceremonial gold necklace and a shawl, matching the cues for the page's named teacher, so the appearance is consistent with that identity in person.2013-11-11
