A central man with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron garment, a rudraksha mala of dark beads, and a gold necklace; his bare shoulders are visible, and he holds the hands of a man in a white short-sleeved shirt who bows his head toward him. Beside him, a shaved-headed attendant in orange robes and a gold necklace stands near a silver tray. On the left, a man in white shirt and gold bracelet presses his palms together in greeting. On the right, a priest with a shaved head, white forehead markings and glasses holds a silver plate with offerings. Other devotees stand in the background before a draped, decorated hall. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), the central figure in saffron with long hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, receiving the bowing devotee.2010-11-23A man in a white shirt bends forward with his head lowered while a figure in a saffron-orange robe places a hand on his head in blessing. The blessing figure has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and white forehead markings, an ornate gold necklace, rudraksha beads and a gold-bead garland, and is smiling. Another man in a white shirt stands at left with clasped hands, and attendants in saffron and white robes stand behind. A rope barrier, red curtains, a projection screen and a decorative hanging with tassels fill the hall background. The blessing figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold and rudraksha adornments, shown in the act of giving blessings.2013-04-01December 31 20092009-12-31Photograph in a corridor with white walls, ceiling fans and fluorescent lights.
