A photograph of a seated figure in ochre-orange robes with a white tilak on the forehead and hair swept back, sitting on a golden lion-shaped throne with a peacock-feather fan at the left edge. He extends his arm to touch a silver trident-shaped ritual object to the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl, who stands with his face tilted up and hands raised. Red and white striped panels and a red carpet form the background. The appearance of the seated figure is consistent with the a person label given the saffron robes, swept-back hair and ceremonial throne, though the face is not clearly distinguishable.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a white forehead mark and hair tied back leans forward and reaches out with his right hand to touch the forehead of a man in a white kurta and saffron-orange shawl, who tilts his head back with raised arms. A silver trident stands behind them, a golden ornament sits beside the seated figure, and a peacock-feather fan is visible at the left edge. The orange-draped seated man matches the presentation of a person, with saffron robes and tied-back hair, and is shown in an in-person ceremonial exchange of blessing with the devotee. The setting resembles a hall with striped wall panels and a red floor.2014-09-02September 02 20142014-09-02August 31 20142014-08-31A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a bare shoulder, long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead mark and rudraksha malas on the chest, smiling and extending an arm toward a standing man in a white kurta with an orange shawl who raises both hands near his face. The seated figure sits beside a golden lion-form seat and a silver staff with a ring finial, in a temple-like hall with orange and white lattice panels and an air conditioner. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in saffron robes with rudraksha malas and long hair, giving a blessing during a pada-puja style ritual. A woman in a white sari with a forehead mark is partly visible at the right edge.2014-09-05A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a white vibhuti line on his forehead, leaning forward and raising his hand over the head of a kneeling man. The seated man is smiling. The kneeling man has long hair tied back, a rudraksha mala, a white and gold-bordered cloth over his bare upper body, and his palms pressed together in reverence. A silver trident-like staff is held upright near them, and a golden kalasha-style vessel sits beside the seated man on a red cushioned seat. A gold-trimmed backdrop and a peacock-feather fan appear at the left edge, with a red-carpeted floor.2014-09-02September 02 20142014-09-02A seated figure in rust-orange robes with a white vertical tilak on the forehead extends both arms to touch the forehead of a man in a white shirt and orange shawl.

The seated figure sits on a gilded throne with a carved golden lion-head armrest, a peacock-feather fan beside him, and a silver trident behind. Red carpet and red-and-white striped wooden screens form the backdrop. The scene reads as a blessing or initiation moment within a formal ashram setting.2014-09-02September 03 20142014-09-03A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala draped across the chest, placing a hand on the forehead of a seated man in white ritual dress with an orange-red shawl. The robed figure is seated before golden lion-headed armrests and a silver-tipped staff, with a peacock-feather fan and a framed picture on the wall behind. The blessing gesture suggests a darshan or padapuja moment. Swamiji (probable) is the robed figure; the cues are the long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala, and the event page places him at this satsang. Two physical people are visible.2014-05-12September 11 20142014-09-11
