A hand from the left reaches across and rests on the top of his head in a blessing gesture against a dark background. The man appears to be receiving blessing or initiation. Appearance alone does not establish that he is a person, so identity remains uncertain.2009-11-20May 31 20152015-05-31 +1 copiesDecember 10 20092009-12-10December 18 20092009-12-18A photograph of a devotee with black hair and a moustache, eyes closed and head bowed, wearing a white collared shirt. Another person's hands rest on his forehead in a blessing gesture, one arm visible in the foreground. Behind him a second person wears an orange-saffron shawl over white clothing, and a dark red curtain forms the backdrop. The scene suggests a sarva-darshan or blessing moment, but no clear identification of a person is supported by visible cues in this image.2010-08-05September 13 20132013-09-13 +1 copiesDecember 10 20112011-12-10November 22 20092009-11-22A smiling man with swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead stands bare-chested, wearing an orange-red shawl edged with gold and a gold necklace, while placing both hands on the bald head of an older, light-skinned man in a khaki button-up shirt, who bows forward with his palm raised to the man's arm. A deep red curtain hangs behind them and a bright warm light glows across the scene. The standing man appears to be a person given the swept-back hair, ornate gold ornaments and saffron-orange shawl, and he is shown giving a blessing to a devotee.2012-02-09A photograph of a man in a grey short-sleeved shirt with eyes closed, head bowed, receiving a blessing as another man in orange and red robes places his right hand on the top of his head and holds his shoulder. Behind them, a person in white with a yellow shawl and rudraksha mala stands in a dim hall, with a crowd of people visible in the background at a darkened venue. The man in orange has short, swept-back dark hair and is smiling, appearing to be a sannyasi giving darshan or a blessing at a workshop setting.2009-09-13 +1 copies
