A seated man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a white tilak with red bindi sits before a red patterned backdrop and gold cushions, holding a silver ceremonial staff and smiling. A younger man in a white checked shirt, seen from behind, reaches up and touches the seated man's head with both hands while holding his arms raised.2013-09-13A seated man in an orange-brown robe with a gold-and-saffron border and a long rudraksha mala sits on a gold lion-armrested throne, with white vibhuti marks on his forehead and his hair swept back. He extends his right hand to touch the forehead of a short-haired man in a white-and-grey striped shirt who kneels before him, palm raised. Behind them is a deity murti draped in green and purple cloth and decorated with red flower garlands, flanked by gold pillars and a red satin cloth. Two standing men in the background, one in a white shirt, observe. The appearance-based candidate, who has the long hair, rudraksha mala and orange robe, is labelled Swamiji (probable) in the seated-teacher role giving blessing.2013-09-28May 09 20142014-05-09Indoor photo of a seated guru in a saffron-orange robe with a beaded mala-style necklace and yellow tilak on his forehead, reaching to touch the forehead of a standing man in a white shirt who is closing his eyes and tilting his head up. The guru sits on a red-upholstered throne with a gilded carved back, and a red and beige decorated backdrop frames the room. The guru's appearance matches the a person cues of ornate saffron clothing, a beaded necklace and a throne, so he is labelled a person in this depiction of a blessing given during satsang-style darshan.2014-01-14July 23 20142014-07-23May 24 20132013-05-24A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long gold-bead necklace smiles broadly while raising his right arm to touch the forehead of a devotee. The devotee wears a white shirt and an orange-red scarf printed with script, and holds his left palm up in front of him. Behind them stand a silver ceremonial staff with a finial and a golden deity or throne ornament against red drapes. The seated man has long swept-back hair and matching ornate gold ornaments, which is consistent with the a person description; the scarf and white garment mark the devotee.2014-07-23A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair in a rust-red robe and brown rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder, raising his right hand to bless the head of a standing man in white kurta and a red-and-brown rudraksha shawl who presses his palms together in greeting. The seated man sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest. Behind them, a golden trident stands upright, with garlanded deity murtis, gold necklaces, red and green drapes, and white lilies in the background. A woman with a red-marked forehead is partly visible at the right edge. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by his long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial throne seating, and the page indicates his presence at this event. The blessing is a darshan exchange with a devotee.2014-12-28May 05 20142014-05-05July 25 20142014-07-25May 03 20142014-05-03January 14 20142014-01-14
