A photograph of a healing or blessing moment in which a person in a bright orange sleeveless top, with long dark curly hair, presses the palm of one raised hand against the forehead of a bearded man with short dark hair who is seated and looking upward. The man wears a dark garment with a red trim at the collar. The background is a dim, dark brown wall with a faint shadow of a hanging element on the left. Only the two people are visible in the frame.

A figure in a flowing saffron-orange wrap, with long swept-back dark hair and a bare shoulder, stands on the right with one hand raised to rest on the forehead of a man in a white shirt who bends forward, head lowered, on the left. Pale cream drapes hang behind them. A second person's head is partly visible at the far left edge and a dark-clothed figure at the far right edge.2007-07-02December 06 20112011-12-06A photograph of an indoor hall with pink walls and maroon curtains. In the foreground, a man in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair presses his fingertips to the forehead of a bearded man in a white kurta, who has his eyes closed in concentration. Other people in white and orange clothing are partly visible at the edges and in the blurred background. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation moment during a darshan session. The orange-robed figure has long dark hair and orange cloth draped over the shoulders, a person cue, though the face is not clearly visible.2009-12-17December 15 20092009-12-15A photograph of an initiation moment at an indoor seminar. A young man with short brown hair, eyes closed and a faint smile, wears a dark brown crew-neck T-shirt and raises one open palm. Behind him, a person with long, dark, wavy hair in an orange garment places one hand on his forehead in a blessing gesture. Their face is partly turned away. Blurred figures in blue jeans and a yellow top stand in the background, with an orange flower arrangement at the right edge.2006-09-01Close photo of two men in an indoor setting with a deep red curtain behind them. A man on the left with hair tied up in a bun, bare-shouldered in an orange saffron wrap with a small red mark on his forehead, reaches out and rests his right hand on the bald head of an older man on the right. The older man has grey hair and a white t-shirt, his eyes closed and face tilted down as he receives the blessing. The left man's other hand is held out, palm open, near the older man's face. No clear appearance-based cues establish the identity of the man in orange, so he is described by role as a devotee-facing giver of blessing.2011-12-09March 06 20142014-03-06September 01 20062006-09-01
