A photo of a satsang-style blessing. A man with long swept-back hair, a red-brown wrap and orange-beaded necklaces with large gold bead ornaments, plus gold armbands, places his right hand on the head of a young man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala and red thread. The blessing figure holds a folded white paper in his left hand and smiles. The young man stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Other people in white and red garments, a man in a grey shirt and a woman in a green sari stand behind, with a crowd in the dim hall. The blessing figure matches Swamiji (probable) by long hair, orange beads, gold ornaments and wrap, with the blessing role.2013-04-04A photograph in a temple hall shows a smiling man in a rust-orange robe and a long rudraksha-style gold bead necklace, holding a sheet of white paper while his right hand rests on the head of a young boy in a maroon robe with folded hands. The man has a vibhuti line and red kumkum on his forehead, with long swept-back hair and gold earrings. A bald older man in bright orange stands at left with palms pressed together. Behind them a figure in white dhoti stands in a line, and a deity murti or ornate shrine with gold and orange decorations is visible in the background.2013-04-17 +3 copiesMay 19 20132013-05-19A photograph of a ritual exchange in a temple-like hall. A man with long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, wearing an ochre-brown wrap and a red bindi, places his hand on the head of a seated devotee in a white shirt with glasses, who presses his palms together. Another man in a white dhoti with an orange-banded sacred thread stands at left with palms folded. The man in brown holds a sheet of paper and smiles while a camera operator films at right. Behind them is a colourful painted wall with a golden deity murti. Probable Swamiji is the man in brown performing the blessing, marked by his long hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace.2013-05-15April 22 20132013-04-22April 17 20132013-04-17 +1 copiesApril 01 20132013-04-01April 04 20132013-04-04 +1 copiesMarch 27 20132013-03-27February 25 20132013-02-25 +1 copiesA photograph at an indoor event where a man in an orange-saffron shawl and wrap with a long gold-bead necklace and a red tilak on his forehead stands on the right, smiling and raising one hand in blessing toward a line of men in white shirts and white dhotis. Several men on the left press their palms together in namaste with heads bowed, one wearing a red thread on his wrist. Behind a metal barrier, a small red-draped table holds offerings, and banners with geometric patterns and tassels hang overhead. Several people in the background watch.2013-05-01A man in a rust-orange robe with a rudraksha-style red bead necklace and ornate gold bead necklaces stands at right, smiling, placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee. The devotee, with hands joined in anjali, wears a white garment and a red-orange shawl, and another white-clad man beside him is also bowing with folded hands. Other seated figures in white clothing and a red-robed person are visible at left and background. The man at right wears gold bracelets and a small red tilak, and holds a sheet of paper. This appears to be a blessing or darshan moment. The man at right has long swept-back hair and a crown-like cloth with ornate gold necklaces, but his face is not identifiable and the attribution to a person is only probable from these visible cues, so the identity is uncertain.2013-05-12
