Indoor photo in a dim room with warm lamplight. A man with long dark hair and an orange saffron wrap sits on a gold-patterned cushioned seat, his face turned sideways, and reaches up to place one hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a dark necklace who leans forward with his head bowed. Behind them stands a brass oil lamp on the left, a colourful patterned banner hangs on a pillar, and a third person in pale clothing is partly visible in the background. The blessing gesture suggests a forehead blessing during a teacher training session.

A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a draped orange shawl sits on a gold-patterned cushioned seat, reaching forward to press a hand on the forehead of a seated man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala.

Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), with long dark hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala cue. Dark wooden paneling forms the backdrop.2006-05-03A seated man in an orange saffron shawl and orange dhoti, wearing a gold ceremonial necklace and a red bindi, reaches to press both hands onto the head of a standing man in a white shirt. The seated man has long dark hair swept back. The recipient has his hands raised in anjali near his face. Behind them is a golden lamp with a lit flame, a gold throne with red cushions decorated with a garland of red and orange flowers, and an ornate carved stone wall panel. The scene reads as a blessing or padapuja-style giving of darshan.2011-09-18September 18 20112011-09-18December 15 20092009-12-15January 27 20072007-01-27January 27 20072007-01-27September 18 20112011-09-18December 02 20102010-12-02September 18 20112011-09-18December 15 20092009-12-15October 21 20062006-10-21 +1 copiesDecember 02 20112011-12-02
