A photograph of a padapuja-style blessing on a stage. A man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and white tilak, wearing an orange sleeveless garment, smiles broadly while placing both hands on the head of a seated older man. The older man wears a plain white shirt, a black beaded mala and a gold pendant, and his eyes are lowered. Blurred gold and red ceremonial decor fills the background, and a dark curtain sits behind the stage. A microphone is visible at the lower left. The blessing figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long swept-back hair and saffron-orange clothing, and is shown as the one giving the blessing.2010-11-18November 18 20102010-11-18A photograph of a padapuja moment at a satsang. A smiling man with long dark hair, a red bindi and white vibhuti marks, wearing a saffron-orange draped garment, leans forward with both hands on the head of a seated man in a white shirt and black beaded mala with a pendant. Behind them, a woman in a white sari is visible, and a deity murti is decorated with orange and yellow marigold garlands. Small gold and colored items are on a tray in front of the seated man, and a gold throne stands at the right. A microphone is at the lower left. The orange-clad figure has distinctive long swept hair, a saffron garment and ceremonial vibhuti, but the visible cues are not conclusive enough to name him, so the appearance is treated as uncertain.2010-11-18 +1 copiesFebruary 22 20132013-02-22 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron garment with long dark hair and a red bindi, smiling as they place a hand on the head of a man in a white shirt with a dark lanyard seen from behind. Dark red velvet drapes form the backdrop. The man in white is blessing or touching the crown of the head of the figure in orange with his hand, and his other hand rests near the shoulder. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha-style pendant, shown in a blessing exchange, not a rite of identity.2011-12-11April 14 20122012-04-14November 21 20112011-11-21A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron wrap, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a red bindi, places his right hand on the head of a short-haired boy in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala. The boy has his hands raised, palms outward, and a golden ceremonial object and floral garlands appear in the blurred background. The scene resembles a blessing or darshan moment.2011-11-05August 23 20122012-08-23November 25 20112011-11-25 +1 copiesA man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe, smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a seated devotee in a white shirt. The devotee has his hands pressed together in anjali mudra. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with a light background. The orange-robed man is a person by appearance cues (long hair, saffron clothing), performing a blessing gesture as a satsang participant receives it.2010-12-04April 29 20122012-04-29
