A photograph of an indoor blessing scene. A smiling man with long dark hair, a red bindi and a red-and-pink flower garland over a cream garment with a gold-bordered shawl touches the forehead of a man in a white robe who stands with palms pressed together in greeting. A woman in a red top is partly visible at left, and a flower arrangement and a brass vessel sit on a pink cloth in the background. Presentation cues are a bindi, floral garland and gold-bordered shawl, but the face and features are not enough to confirm an identity, so the a person value is unsure.

He smiles while placing his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a maroon collared shirt, who presses his palms together in anjali. Behind them hang blue and red draped fabrics, peacock feathers, and white and pink flowers, with a string of multicoloured lights wrapped around a wooden post. A silver tray and a pink-draped surface sit at right. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan. Two people are visible.2006-04-21A seated man with long dark hair, wearing a white dhoti-style garment with gold border, a gold shawl and a heavy gold necklace with a long pendant, reaches forward to touch the forehead of a bearded man with light brown hair in a white top, who kneels before him in front of a bouquet of gladiolus and other flowers on a low table. Another seated person in an orange-red garment is partially visible in the centre. A pink cloth covers the table, and a fan and white cushions sit in a wooden-panelled room. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and gold ornaments, so the appearance suggests a person performing a forehead blessing, though this is uncertain.2006-04-23April 23 20062006-04-23A photo of a seated man in a cream brocade kurta with a red and white flower garland placing a dark rudraksha mala around the neck of a grey-haired man bowing his head, who wears a plain cream shirt. The seated man has long dark hair and a red bindi and sits on a white cushioned seat. Behind them hang blue and red draped fabrics, peacock feathers, and strings of warm fairy lights. Pink and silver tray and bouquets of white, red, and orange flowers are at the right and left. The seated man matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long swept-back hair, ornate clothing, and rudraksha mala, performing a mala-giving blessing as a teacher. Two people are visible.2006-04-21A photograph of two men in a room with flowers and a gold vase. A man with grey hair and a white long-sleeved top raises his hand to the forehead of a smiling man with long dark hair, wearing a gold-bordered white garment, a gold necklace and a pink floral garland, with a red bindi on his forehead. A gold-coloured vase of pink lilies and white flowers stands at right, and a wooden shelf lies behind them. The smiling man has long dark hair, a gold necklace and a pink floral garland, consistent with a person appearance, though the image is not clear enough to confirm identity.2006-04-23
