A seated man with swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap over a red sleeveless top and holds a bare arm extended toward him. Kneeling before him on a white cloth-covered dais is an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti with rudraksha beads around his neck, bowing forward with hands clasped at the seated man's waist. A second person in orange robes stands at the left edge behind the scene. Woven bamboo screen and leafy green vines frame the background.2008-10-12April 25 20122012-04-25A seated man in flowing saffron-orange robes with long dark hair sits on a red and maroon cushioned seat, a rudraksha mala draped across his chest, one arm extended and his palm raised toward the head of a man standing before him. The standing man wears a white kurta with an orange shawl over his shoulder, his grey hair tied back, eyes closed and head bowed as if receiving a blessing. Behind them a seated attendant in white clothing is partly visible, with a golden ornamental backdrop and a lit area in the room. The scene suggests a blessing or healing gesture. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-robed figure with long hair, rudraksha mala and orange garments.2012-04-25A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala draped across the chest, long dark swept-back hair and a red bindi, sits on a white-draped couch in front of a deep red velvet curtain. A man in white kurta kneels before him, one hand resting on the seated figure's arm while the other hand touches the top of the kneeling man's head, a blessing gesture. A bald attendant in orange robes sits behind them with his hands folded on his lap, and a brass pillar and a green potted palm stand nearby. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair and a saffron robe with a rudraksha mala, and is being honoured by the kneeling devotee in white.2008-01-25April 27 20122012-04-27A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a red undershirt rests one hand on the head of a kneeling older man in a white shirt and white trousers, wearing glasses and a gold bracelet. The seated figure has long dark hair and a red mark on the forehead, and sits on a red and gold throne with a gold-embossed backdrop depicting a deity murti, with garlands of pink flowers at the top. The scene suggests a blessing being given, and the seated figure has a distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron robe and gold-embossed throne cues consistent with the page's a person reference, though identity is uncertain from appearance. The kneeling man receives the blessing with his head bowed and a small object held in his hand.2008-10-11A photograph of a ceremony on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of white, red, orange and pink flowers.
