A seated figure in a rust-red turban and rust-red wrap with a gold border, wearing a white flower garland with blue beads, places his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white kurta with a red-patterned shawl, whose hands are pressed together in namaste. The seated figure wears gold bangles and smiles. Behind them is a golden throne with red and pink cloth and garlands, and a woman in orange stands near the back. This is a blessing gesture. The visible cues are a turban, red-orange robes and a garland, consistent with a Swamiji (probable) in a blessing role, while the kneeling man is a devotee receiving blessing.

Gold lion-head armrests and red upholstered seating frame the scene, with a silver ceremonial staff visible above. Behind them a woman in a white sari with a red-bordered shawl and a beaded necklace looks on. The figure in red and saffron has distinctive turban, robe and mala cues, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance seated on a throne in an in-person blessing.2015-06-21 +1 copiesA photograph of a darshan moment. A man with long swept-back hair, a small red tilak on his forehead, a gold necklace of large ornaments and a red-orange shawl sits on a red cushioned seat and reaches out to touch the forehead of a man in a white shirt and red-orange cloth wrap. The recipient raises both hands in a gesture of reverence and wears a rudraksha bracelet. Behind them stands a polished silver trishul with a red bead, and a green palm plant and gold ornaments fill the background. Probable Swamiji is the seated figure with the long hair, gold necklace and orange-red shawl, giving blessing to the devotee.2014-08-01October 08 20152015-10-08 +2 copiesOctober 14 20152015-10-14
