A photograph of a seated man in a red saffron-toned wrap with a dark rudraksha mala draped across his chest and a red bindi on his forehead, his bare right arm extended as he places his hand on the crown of the head of a second man. The second man, seen from behind, wears a white collared shirt and a gold bracelet, with his arms spread open in a gesture of appeal. Behind them are a red cushioned seat, a garland of flowers, a golden deity murti at the left edge, dark blue drapes, a potted plant and a green backdrop. The scene resembles a blessing or personal guidance moment.

September 04 20112011-09-04November 21 20112011-11-21A photograph of a man with swept-back dark hair, white tripundra marks and a red bindi, wearing a red and gold striped shawl and a heavy gold bead necklace, reaching both hands to the head of an older grey-haired man in a white shirt who bows forward. The setting shows a blurred backdrop with a large painted image and a red-cushioned seat at left.2011-11-06December 31 20112011-12-31May 09 20142014-05-09February 21 20152015-02-21November 27 20112011-11-27Photo of a seated man with long dark hair tied in a bun, wearing a red shawl with gold border and a rudraksha mala, with white and red tilak on his forehead, placing his raised right hand on the head of a shaven-headed man in a white t-shirt with a red cord around his neck. The seated man holds a wooden staff or stick in his left hand while the bald man sits with eyes closed and his palm raised toward him. The setting has a purple curtain and gold ornamental draping behind them. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-red shawl with gold border, seated in the role of the giver of blessing.2011-07-17A photograph of a blessing moment indoors before a dark red curtain. A bare-chested man in orange-saffron cloth with a wrapped orange shawl, multiple gold-toned bead necklaces, a red tilak mark on his forehead and hair tied back places his hand on the head of a shaven-headed man in a white collared shirt, who has his eyes lowered and his other hand raised. A gold-toned vessel and a silver cup sit at the lower edge. Appearance cues of a swept-back hairstyle, saffron clothing and gold beads are consistent with a person, giving a head-touch blessing, while the recipient is a devotee.2012-02-09December 17 20132013-12-17Photograph of two men in close indoor contact. The man on the left wears an orange saffron wrap draped over bare shoulders, has his hair tied back in a knot, a small red vermilion mark on his forehead, and a black cord around his neck; he extends his arm to rest his hand on the forehead of the second man. The man on the right wears a white ritual garment and a rudraksha mala around his neck, with his head bowed and eyes closed. Behind them are a dark curtain and a red-and-white backdrop with a green plant at the right. The left man's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference but is not conclusive, so his role is described as a person giving blessing and identity is left unsure.2011-09-03 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20152015-02-19
