A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead mark and a saffron-orange sleeveless garment rests one hand on the crown of an elderly bald man in white who bows with palms pressed together. Behind them stands a younger man in saffron with a red tilak and a bare-shouldered garment, and a white-draped altar with a brass plate holds offerings and a small box. A cream-coloured curtain and a plastic chair appear in the background. The scene shows a blessing given to a devotee in a hall.2008-03-04March 15 20082008-03-15March 15 20082008-03-15A photograph of a healing blessing during a darshan. A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing an orange saffron robe with a sleeveless top, places his right hand on the crown of a balding older man kneeling in a white shirt, whose head is bowed. Behind them, a second saffron-robed young man sits on the left, and standing figures in white shirts and orange shawls stand at the back. A rudraksha mala hangs on a white-shirted standing man. On a white-draped table in front are a plate with flowers, fruit, and ritual items. Based on the appearance of the man giving the blessing, with long hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, he is probable Swamiji, shown in an in-person healing darshan role.2008-03-20July 20 20102010-07-20A photograph of a seated elderly man in a white shirt with his palms pressed together at his chest, receiving a blessing as a man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe places both hands on the sides of his head. The blessing giver has long dark hair tied back and wears a rudraksha-style bead necklace; a saffron shawl is draped over his shoulders. The elderly man has white sacred ash marks on his forehead. Standing behind them, people in white kurtas and white dhotis, one with a dark bead mala, look on, and an orange-robed figure stands at the right edge beside a wooden box holding small items and a red-and-white bead mala. Orange cushions and a purple-patterned cloth lie on the ground.2010-07-06A seated man in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a long rudraksha mala draped to his waist places his right hand on the forehead of an elderly bearded man in a peach-coloured robe with a pink shawl, who kneels with hands on a white cushion. A younger standing man in white clothes and an orange shawl with a red tilak watches. Behind them is a red velvet curtain, and a silver tray holds offerings and a small pile of items beside a purple flower garland. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha cues, but the page does not say Swamiji was present, so identity is unsure. Printed copyright text appears on the right side of the photo.2010-07-19A photograph of a seated man in an orange sleeveless garment with a rudraksha mala and white and red tilak on his forehead, placing his hand on the head of a seated devotee in a white shirt with a teal collar. Beside him, a standing man in white kurta wears an orange shawl and rests a hand on the devotee's shoulder. Behind them hangs a deep red velvet drape, with a white cushioned seat and a tray of flowers and fruit at left. A man in orange robes sits at the right edge. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan moment in a hall setting.2010-07-29July 02 20102010-07-02 +1 copiesOctober 08 20082008-10-08July 06 20102010-07-06A photograph in a hall with dark red velvet drapes. A seated figure in an orange robe with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala draped over the shoulder, rests one palm on the head of a bald older man in an orange robe and peach shawl who bows forward and receives offerings from a white-clothed table. The seated figure's appearance and adornments are consistent with a person, seated on an orange-upholstered throne and blessing the devotee. Behind them a young man in white with an orange shawl stands with a hand on the devotee's back, and a figure in white with an orange shawl stands at the left edge. Trays with yellow flowers and small items sit on the white table.2010-07-02 +1 copies
