Photograph inside a plain hall with cream walls and high windows. A long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe wears a white jasmine garland and a red bindi, with white sacred ash marks on his forehead. He smiles and touches the forehead of a man in a white collared shirt with a dark beaded necklace, who leans in toward him. The bearded man in white holds a sheet of paper. Seated and standing devotees fill the background, and a young woman with white marks on her forehead appears at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robe, flower garland and forehead markings are the appearance cues, and he is shown blessing a devotee in person.

A man in a long-sleeved white shirt and a rudraksha mala kneels with bowed head while a seated figure in an orange-brown robe places a palm on his forehead. The seated figure wears a long pink and blue-tipped flower garland, layered gold necklaces, and a tilak with a red bindi, and holds a small white paper in his other hand. Behind him are bright yellow and red flower arrangements and a red patterned cushion. At left, a shaved-headed attendant in orange and a rudraksha mala looks on. Probable Swamiji appearance cues: swept-back long hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron clothing, giving a blessing as a seated teacher.2012-09-23December 16 20122012-12-16May 25 20142014-05-25August 15 20102010-08-15May 13 20142014-05-13A photograph of an outdoor ritual at a temple-like setting with orange-painted walls. On the right, a figure in orange robes wearing a heavy garland of yellow marigolds and red roses, with white tilak on the forehead and a gold crown-like headpiece, places his hand on the forehead of a man on the left. The man on the left wears white clothes, a rudraksha mala, and a gold bangle, his palms pressed together in respectful greeting with eyes closed. Fruit including bananas and apples sits on a tray in the foreground, and another person in white is partly visible behind. The garland-wearing figure has long dark hair and appears to be a probable Swamiji by his orange robes, garland and crown-like headpiece, while the man in white is a devotee receiving blessing.2010-08-15September 16 20122012-09-16June 01 20122012-06-01October 31AFP 20132013-10-31 +1 copiesMay 23 20122012-05-23 +2 copies
