A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-and-red sash and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace, applying a gold tilak and red bindi on his forehead. He is gently blessing a small toddler with a palm-leaf or whisk-like bundle held in his right hand while his other hand rests on the child's head. The toddler, in a striped top with green sleeves, is held by a man in a white t-shirt at right. Behind them a large golden deity figure or statue and gold pot stand in the background, with red and gold cloth draped nearby.

The man, seated on a red velvet throne-like chair in front of a gold-ornate backdrop and purple drapes, smiles and holds a small object in his other hand. A lap-level adult arm supports the child at left. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, swept-back long hair, and heavy beaded malas with gold necklace are the qualifying cues for a seated blessing (darshan-style) scene in an ashram setting.2013-02-27May 09 20142014-05-09May 05 20142014-05-05August 01 20142014-08-01May 12 20142014-05-12A seated man in a red garment with a gold-and-beaded garland and hair tied back smiles with eyes closed while resting his right hand on the head of a young girl with dark hair in a ponytail and pink earrings who bows toward him. Behind him stand a gold lion-headed armrest, a gold cobra-hooded staff and a silver ceremonial staff against red drapery. A woman in white with a beaded necklace stands at the right edge. The setting suggests a blessing during a satsang. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair and ornate gold garland and red clothing, and is receiving the girl's bow on a throne-like seat.2014-07-24A seated man in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas blesses a small boy in a white t-shirt by placing his right hand on the child's head during darshan. He sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a golden serpent-headed armrest, a silver staff with a peacock-feather fan resting beside him. To the right, a woman in white clothes wears a long rudraksha mala and holds her hands together in greeting. Behind them are gold and red decorations, a framed textile on the wall and a red-and-gold chair. The a person candidate has a tilak, sits on a throne and wears saffron with rudraksha malas, but his face and appearance are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is marked unsure.2014-05-12
