A photograph of an indoor room with white walls, a wall air conditioner and a tower cooler. A man seated on a red cushioned sofa wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and a rudraksha-style bead mala, with a white and red forehead mark, and is placing his right hand on the head of a young boy with folded palms. The boy, in a striped blue-and-white shirt, bows his head in devotion. Behind them, a girl in a brown patterned dress with an orange lanyard watches, and a woman in a teal outfit stands further back.2012-10-20A photograph of a bare-shouldered man in orange-saffron clothing with a long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala beads and a gold pendant, a white vertical tripundra mark on his forehead with a red dot, placing his hand on the head of a young man in a white shirt and orange thread who bows forward. Behind them a woman in a maroon sari and a small boy in a black and yellow shirt and a boy in a grey football shirt watch; a red cushioned seat and a red curtain frame the room. Swamiji (probable) is the man giving the blessing, shown by his saffron clothing, rudraksha beads, gold necklace and long swept-back hair, while the bowing young man receives the blessing.2012-10-11October 20 20122012-10-20A seated man in an orange-red unstitched cloth, wearing a long rudraksha mala and his hair tied up in a knot, rests his right hand on the head of a young boy in white shirt who kneels with palms joined. Beside them, a woman in a pink-and-white sari kneels with hands folded, and another woman in white with a rudraksha mala sits watching. A silver staff with a decorative top stands behind the seated man, and a gold-coloured ceremonial object sits in the lower foreground on red fabric. Several women in saris, one in blue and one in orange-pink, stand in the background of a hall with cream walls and a dark red curtain. The seated man has distinctive visible cues of orange clothing and rudraksha malas, so this may be a person giving blessing to a devotee, though the image is not clear enough for certainty.2014-07-06October 20 20122012-10-20A seated man with long dark hair and a swept-back style wears a rust-orange wrap and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala, placing his right palm on the head of a young boy with short dark hair who leans forward with hands together. The boy wears a light blue t-shirt and a brown bead mala. Behind them a group of children and adults stands in a hall with a red curtain; a woman in a floral kurta wears an orange lanyard, and a young girl in white stands at right. The seated man's cues (long hair, orange wrap, mala beads) are distinctive, so this is probable Swamiji in person giving a blessing to a boy.2013-05-24A seated man in an orange-saffron shawl and dhoti, with a white tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala across his chest, rests his right hand on the head of a boy in a pink striped shirt who leans forward. A young man in white with glasses kneels in front, and behind them a woman in a magenta sari and a girl in red with a long braid stand watching; another woman in a peach sari sits in the background beside a red cushion. Ornate deity figures and brass items are visible at the left edge. The scene looks like a darshan blessing in a temple or ashram room.2012-10-13August 26th 20152015-08-26A photograph of a satsang-style gathering indoors. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a reddish-orange shawl and rudraksha mala sits on a red velvet seat and extends the right hand to rest on the head of a young boy in a white t-shirt. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, which are the qualifying cues. Around them, a bald man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala stands and smiles, while several boys in white and children in white t-shirts with lanyards gather close. A white split air conditioner stands at left and a pink wall behind. A red towel lies on the seat in the foreground.2013-05-14April 02 20132013-04-02A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange cloth wrap with a long red and yellow flower garland around his neck and dark hair swept back. He rests one hand on the head of a young boy in a white polo shirt with red trim and a rudraksha mala, who bows forward. Behind them a woman in a green and gold sari with beaded necklaces watches, and a girl in purple sits at the right. Trays of sweets and packets sit in front, and a red curtain and white walls form the room. Appearance-based label: a person, giving blessing to a child.2013-05-28A photograph of a man with long curly black hair and a white sacred-ash marking on his forehead, wearing a saffron-orange sleeveless top, smiling as he places his hands on the head and face of a young boy in a white shirt. Behind them, a woman in a red patterned outfit and other people are visible in a plain indoor room with a framed picture at the left edge. The man's appearance matches the page's Swamiji reference through his long hair and saffron clothing, so he is described as a probable Swamiji in person. Two physical people are in the foreground, with a few more partially visible behind.2010-08-08
