Outdoor photo of a long-haired man in an orange sleeveless garment with heavy gold chains and a gold bangle, smiling broadly as he places his hand on the forehead of a younger man in an orange robe who appears to be emotional with eyes closed. Behind them a bearded man in an orange vest over white clothes looks on, and a man in a red shirt stands at right. A red bindi marks the central man's forehead, and a gold ceremonial finial and thatched structure appear in the background.2007-12-23A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead wears a saffron-orange shawl and a heavy ceremonial necklace of gold beads with rudraksha-style pendants. He turns to one side as another person reaches forward and touches his shoulder. Beside him, a bald man in saffron robes also smiles. Behind them, blurred devotees in white and orange stand near a stage draped with orange and maroon fabric. Probable Swamiji is identifiable from long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and the ornate gold bead necklace. The scene shows a ceremonial gathering with a group of devotees and sannyasis.2011-02-27 +1 copiesA photograph of a satsang setting where a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak, wearing an orange saffron shawl and a long gold bead necklace, smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in white. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes leans in and holds the sash, while other men in white and orange stand in the background beneath orange and maroon fabric drapes. The scene suggests a blessing being given at a devotional gathering. Swamiji (probable): the seated blessing figure's long hair, saffron shawl and gold bead mala match the page's identification.2011-02-27 +1 copiesA photograph of a devotee with grey hair bowing forward with palms pressed together while a smiling man in saffron-orange robes and a gold necklace with rudraksha malas places his right hand on the devotee's head in blessing. The blessing man has long swept-back dark hair and a gold-and-bead ornament, and the devotee wears a white shirt with a rudraksha mala. Beside them a man in white clothes stands with hands folded, and other people in white and light-coloured clothing gather in a bright hall with pink walls and orange lamps.
