Photograph of a devotional greeting inside a hall with maroon drapes. On the right, a man with long dark hair tied in a bun, gold earrings, an ochre-orange robe with a yellow border and a long rudraksha mala raises his right palm in a blessing gesture while smiling, his left forearm wrapped in white bandage. On the left, a grey-haired man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a red rudraksha mala presses his palms together in anjali. Another man at the far left has white tripod markings on his forehead and folds his hands. A golden throne with a lion-like finial and a tripod camera stand appear in the background, with a few seated women at the far right edge.

September 24 20132013-09-24A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned back, wearing an orange-saffron shawl over bare shoulders and a long rudraksha-style bead necklace with a gold-toned ceremonial pendant. He has long swept-back dark hair and a tilak-like mark on his forehead and is smiling as he places his right hand on the forehead of a shaved-headed man in white ritual clothing with an orange shawl. Behind them, two men in white dhoti and shirt wear orange shawls and lanyards, and a video camera operator is visible at top center. A brass oil lamp, a small potted plant and a dark red draped backdrop are in the setting. The seated man's appearance matches the page's Swamiji reference through several cues (long swept-back hair, ornate gold throne, saffron shawl, bead necklace), so this is a probable Swamiji in an act of blessing a devotee. Five or more people are visible including partially visible figures.2015-07-19September 30 20132013-09-30September 27 20132013-09-27September 14 20132013-09-14July 20 20132013-07-20October 08 20132013-10-08A photo of a blessing moment.
