A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron sleeveless garment with a gold-and-red sash and rudraksha beads on his wrist and neck, seated and placing his right hand on the forehead of an older, grey-haired man in a coral-pink short-sleeved shirt with a lanyard and a black wristwatch. The recipient holds his own hand raised in front of him in a receiving gesture. Background shows a plain white wall, a window, a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, and a dark curtain. The orange-clad figure's cues (long swept hair, saffron garment, rudraksha malas and gold sash) match the page's a person claim, so this is a person in person giving a blessing, identified by appearance only.

A photograph of a long-haired figure in orange saffron robes with a gold-and-beaded waistband and a rudraksha bracelet, smiling as they press one palm onto the forehead of a young man in a deep red shirt who stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Rudraksha beads are visible on the robed figure's arm. A plain pale wall and window sit in the background, with a person in red partly visible at right. Appearance-based identification is uncertain, so this figure is described by role as the robed giver of blessing, with the young man as a devotee receiving darshan.2012-04-16April 17 20122012-04-17A long-haired man in an orange saffron garment with a gold-and-pearl sash and rudraksha beads sits on a red striped seat, extending both arms to bless a young man in a white t-shirt who bows with palms raised and a rudraksha mala around his neck. A shaven-headed man in orange robes with a mala sits behind them, and standing figures in white clothes are blurred in the background. The saffron-robed man is described as a person based on the long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas.2012-04-17A photograph of a long-haired figure in an orange sleeveless top with a gold-and-pearl sash and multiple rudraksha bracelets, both hands raised in front of a seated man in a white shirt with a blue lanyard and an ID badge. The figure's palms rest near the man's forehead in a blessing gesture as he sits with eyes lowered. Behind them, seated devotees in white and orange garments watch, and a deep red curtain forms the backdrop. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, orange clothing, rudraksha malas and gold ornaments) is giving darshan to a delegate.2012-04-17April 23 20122012-04-23 +1 copiesApril 17 20122012-04-17A photo of a blessing moment indoors. A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing an orange saffron sleeveless garment, rudraksha beads on his wrists and neck, and a gold-trimmed shawl around his waist, extends his right arm and presses his palm to the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a purple lanyard and badge. The recipient stands with eyes closed and his palms raised in front of him. Behind them, out of focus, several people in white and orange clothing sit or stand. The orange-clad figure matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, shown in an act of blessing.2012-04-17April 17 20122012-04-17April 17 20122012-04-17A seated man in an orange sleeveless garment with a gold-bordered cloth and rudraksha malas receives a folded paper from a standing man in red who holds his palms together in anjali. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and rudraksha bracelets on his arm, and is seated on a striped red-and-black cushion. Behind them, people in red and orange clothing sit or stand in a hall with white walls. The presentation of a written note suggests a darshan or question exchange. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in orange with long hair, rudraksha malas and gold-trimmed cloth is the probable Nithyananda Paramashivam; the standing man in red is a devotee.2012-04-17April 17 20122012-04-17A photograph of a darshan blessing. A man with long dark wavy hair and a vertical tilak mark sits on a tiger-striped cushion, wearing an orange saffron garment with rudraksha mala beads, a gold-accented ceremonial necklace and a bead bracelet, holding a golden trident-like staff with his left hand, eyes closed. He extends his right hand and presses his palm onto the forehead of a middle-aged man with grey hair and stubble, dressed in a white t-shirt, who bows forward with his palms raised in reverence. Pale walls form the background. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, so the appearance-based label applies: Swamiji (probable) is giving a blessing to a devotee in person.2012-04-17
