A man in a white kurta with a red rudraksha mala and a tilak on his forehead holds a small grey stone block and looks down at it. Facing him from the left, a person in a white long-sleeved top with glasses and hoop earrings holds a notepad. A third man in a yellow kurta sits at the right edge, partly visible. Behind them, other seated people and a red drape are blurred.2016-12-12July 20 20142014-07-20August 11 20172017-08-11A bare-shouldered man in an orange-saffron garment with a long beaded rudraksha-style necklace and a wrist mala is applying a mark to the forehead of a young man in a white shirt and orange shawl printed with repeating script. The recipient wears a lanyard and shawl with a sacred-text pattern. Behind them, several people in white and orange-red garments stand, one woman in maroon with a dark beaded mala and a red tilak sits watching. A wooden box with rudraksha beads and currency notes sits in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the man applying the mark has long swept-back hair, a saffron garment and a ceremonial beaded necklace, so he is an appearance-based candidate for the presented Swamiji role.2015-07-10Photo of devotees seated on a red-brown mat during a group session. A man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange saffron shawl printed with repeated Sanskrit-style text sits at right, looking down at a small wooden framed tray holding dark granular substance, which he holds while a person in front lifts a hand toward it. Another man at left wears a white outfit, orange shawl, and a beaded mala with a lanyard tag; a red-and-white printed booklet with a portrait sits on the mat. Pens and a bracelet are visible. Spiritual Alchemy product preparation appears to be underway.2016-10-10A photograph of a seated man in an orange-red saffron shawl and white dhoti being blessed at a gathering. A figure in an orange-red and gold-bordered robe, with a long rudraksha-style mala necklace and bare upper arm, places his right hand on the recipient's forehead. The recipient, wearing a white dhoti with gold border and an orange shawl printed with script, raises his right palm in a gesture of receiving. Behind them, seated devotees in saffron and white garments, some wearing beaded malas, fill the hall, and a large screen is visible at the top. Swamiji (probable): the blessing figure has long swept-back hair, an orange-red robe with gold border, and a multi-strand beaded necklace, the cues associated with the page's subject.2015-07-10July 05 20152015-07-05 +1 copiesA seated devotee in a large hall looks down at a small handheld device or booklet he holds in both hands. He wears a bare chest, white dhoti with a gold border, a rust-orange shawl printed with Sanskrit mantra text, and a rudraksha mala with a small pendant. Around him other participants sit in white clothes and orange shawls, some bald and some with hair, with pink walls and framed artwork behind them. The scene suggests a meditation or satsang session in progress, though the image itself shows only reading and quiet sitting.2017-03-01A photograph of a seated man in a red-saffron shawl printed with script, wearing a white shirt, having his forehead touched by a robed figure in red-orange and gold garments with a beaded peach-coloured necklace and a purple bead bracelet. Behind them, seated devotees in white and red shawls fill the hall, and a wooden box holding banknotes rests near the blessing. A screen is visible at the top edge. Swamiji (probable): the robed figure has long swept-back dark hair and a distinctive ceremonial necklace and saffron-gold garments, performing a blessing on the devotee.2015-07-10
