A seated man in a maroon robe and red-orange garland sits on an ornate gold throne with carved floral backrest, eyes closed, a white tilak with red bindi on his forehead. A younger man in a grey-blue t-shirt and a lanyard stands behind him, hands raised near the seated man's head as if applying a blessing or touch. A small brass container and cloth sit on a gold side table at right. Gilded pillars and a blue-tiled wall frame the scene.

December 26 20152015-12-26December 26 20152015-12-26A seated man in a maroon-red robe with a bare chest and long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with carved golden armrests and a deep red velvet cushion, smiling as he places his hand on the forehead of an older bearded man with long white hair. The older man wears a light blue tie-dye t-shirt and presses his palms together in reverence. The seated man wears a red-orange rudraksha-style mala, a red bindi and white markings on his forehead. Behind them are blue and gold carved wooden panels and a peach-toned patterned wall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears saffron/orange ceremonial robes with a red-orange shawl, long swept-back hair and a beaded mala, and sits enthroned while being honoured, so the identification is an appearance-based probable label.2015-12-26Photo of a seated man in a rust-red robe with a white forehead band and a red tilak, smiling broadly and raising his right hand toward a bare-shouldered, shaved-headed man seen from behind who has a beaded mala around his neck. Behind them is a large ornate gold-carved throne with floral and scroll motifs against a deep red curtain. A microphone is visible at the lower right near a small metal figure. The seated figure has long, swept-back hair and a rudraksha-style mala, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm a candidate. He is seated on the throne during what appears to be a satsang gathering.2017-05-18July 17 20162016-07-17A photograph of a ceremonial blessing inside a richly decorated hall with red drapes. A man with long dark hair, bare-shouldered and wearing a red-orange wrap, golden floral necklaces and a rudraksha bracelet, places his palm on the forehead of a bald man in a white kurta with an orange shawl. Behind them stands a silver staff entwined with a black serpent and a large golden cobra-hooded ornament, with a peacock-feather fan at the left edge. Two physical people are visible.2014-07-27March 16 20172017-03-16August 01 20142014-08-01A photograph of a seated man in saffron-red robes, bare-shouldered with a draped red-orange shawl, a long swept-back hair style and a sandalwood-paste tilak on his forehead, wearing a rudraksha-style beaded necklace with a gold ornament. He sits on a red-cushioned throne flanked by gold lion-head carvings, and a standing man in a white shirt with an orange-and-white neck cord faces him, both palms raised toward each other in a blessing exchange. A woman in white with a bindi and beaded necklace watches at the right, with a white wall-mounted air conditioner and a red-and-orange lattice screen behind.2014-08-31April 21 20172017-04-21A seated man with short dark hair, a white forehead mark and a red wrist thread, bare-chested and draped in an orange-red cloth, wears a white flower garland with red and yellow blossoms. He extends his right hand to press a palm on the forehead of a standing man in a white shirt with an orange-red shawl. A tall silver staff with a trident-like top stands beside them, with a gilded lion-faced ornament and a gold throne-like backdrop behind; a framed painting hangs on the wall. The scene suggests a blessing exchange.2014-05-13April 24 20172017-04-24
