A seated man with long dark hair, bare-shouldered in a reddish-orange wrap and wearing a long rudraksha mala with a gold chain, reaches out to touch the forehead of a standing man with short hair and a beard. The standing man wears a white kurta and an orange-red shawl printed with script, with a black wristwatch visible. The seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne-like chair. Behind them are garlanded deity murtis draped in green and red fabrics, with green foliage and a silver staff or trident-like rod. Three people stand at the right edge in red-and-white attire. The scene appears to be a blessing or abhishekam-style forehead touch. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man with long hair, rudraksha mala and orange wrap, seated on a golden throne.

December 24 20142014-12-24A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne extending his right hand to touch the forehead of a standing devotee in a white shirt and white dhoti with an orange-red shawl printed with script, hands folded in greeting. The seated figure wears a rust-red garment, a long brown rudraksha mala draped across the chest, and has long swept-back hair with a white forehead mark. Behind them are garlands of gold-coloured beads, a tall silver staff, potted plants, red flowers and a red cushion. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a rust-red robe, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event. A second person is partly visible at the right edge.2014-12-26A photograph of a long-haired man in a rust-red shawl with a rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder, seated on a golden throne-back, extending his right hand toward the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a red-and-maroon patterned scarf who has his palms pressed together above his head. Behind them are ornate deity murtis adorned with gold garlands, green foliage and pink draped cloth, with a woman in red partly visible. Another person in white stands at the right edge. The long-haired figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-red clothing, while performing a blessing on the devotee.2014-12-24A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair in a rust-red robe and brown rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder, raising his right hand to bless the head of a standing man in white kurta and a red-and-brown rudraksha shawl who presses his palms together in greeting. The seated man sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest. Behind them, a golden trident stands upright, with garlanded deity murtis, gold necklaces, red and green drapes, and white lilies in the background. A woman with a red-marked forehead is partly visible at the right edge. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by his long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial throne seating, and the page indicates his presence at this event. The blessing is a darshan exchange with a devotee.2014-12-28August 02 20142014-08-02December 28 20142014-12-28May 03 20142014-05-03December 28 20142014-12-28December 24 20142014-12-24December 26 20142014-12-26July 24 20142014-07-24May 03 20142014-05-03
