A photograph of a long-haired man in a white wrap with a gold ceremonial necklace of gold-capped beads and a gold bracelet, with a white and red forehead marking, placing his right hand on the head of a seated man in a white shirt with a lanyard. Behind them stand a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, a golden ornamental backdrop and a bouquet of pink, orange and yellow flowers. The scene suggests a blessing given during a satsang setting. Swamiji (probable) is the long-haired man, identified by his long swept-back hair, gold ceremonial necklace and ornate gold bracelet, giving a blessing to the seated devotee.

December 06 20102010-12-06Photograph of a man with long, swept-back black hair wearing a white dhoti-style garment, a heavy ceremonial gold necklace of beads, a gold armlet and a vertical white and red tilak on his forehead. He stands on the left with his right hand placed on the crown of a seated man in a white shirt with a red cord, who has his palms pressed together and eyes closed. Behind them are a gold-framed ornate chair, a green garland with pink, yellow and orange flowers, a blue curtain and a lit brass oil lamp with a visible flame. Probable Swamiji (long hair, ceremonial gold necklace, white ritual clothing, lamp and flower setting) gives blessing to a devotee, who receives it with folded hands.2010-12-06December 06 20102010-12-06December 06 20102010-12-06December 06 20102010-12-06A man with long, swept-back black hair sits on a red-cushioned gold throne, wearing a white dhoti-style garment with a gold-toned ornate necklace and bracelet, a rudraksha-style mala-like gold chain, white vibhuti lines and a red kumkum dot on his forehead. He places his right hand on the head of a seated devotee in a white and grey striped shirt, who bows with hands folded. Behind them is a backdrop of orange, red, pink and yellow flowers and greenery. The scene reads as a blessing or darshan moment.2010-12-06December 06 20102010-12-06A seated long-haired man in a white dhoti with gold-toned bead necklaces and a gold snake-shaped armlet sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, a red tilak on his forehead and a small vermilion mark. He smiles while a devotee in a white shirt with a red-and-black striped shawl raises an open palm toward him in greeting or blessing. Behind them are arrangements of orange, yellow, pink and red flowers and green foliage. The appearance of the seated man is consistent with the a person label given the long swept hair, ornate gold necklaces and throne, so he is described as a person in person.2010-12-06December 06 20102010-12-06November 14 20102010-11-14December 06 20102010-12-06A seated man with long dark wavy hair, a red bindi and white forehead marks, wearing a cream-white cloth draped over one shoulder with heavy gold beaded necklaces and a gold armband. He places his right palm on the forehead of a younger man in a white shirt who leans in, eyes closed. Behind them stands a gilded carved throne back and a backdrop of orange, white and pink flowers. A seated figure with long hair and gold ornaments matches the Swamiji (probable) cues: long swept hair, ornate gold jewellery and a ceremonial white garment, while he performs a blessing on a devotee.2010-12-06
