Two people in an indoor hall with a red curtain and white hanging decorations. In the foreground a man in a peach-coloured kurta wears rudraksha beads, a red lanyard with an ID badge, and round glasses; he has a red tilak on his forehead and holds his hands up while another person's hand rests on his head. The second person, seen from behind with dark hair, wears an orange shawl. Another man in white clothes appears at the right edge. No clearly distinctive a person cues are visible in the foreground figures, so the identity is uncertain.

September 04 20112011-09-04 +1 copiesDecember 01 20112011-12-01A photograph of a ritual blessing in an indoor hall. A man with his hair tied in a topknot and a long rudraksha mala wears a saffron-orange robe and sits on the floor, one hand raised to touch the forehead of a man in a white shirt who holds his palms up in devotion. Behind them a man in a white dhoti and a rudraksha mala stands beside a golden pillar, and a camera operator in a red shirt films from the back. Brass oil lamps stand at the right and a white floor fan is at the rear. Cues on the blessing figure: topknot, saffron robe and rudraksha beads, though his face is not visible enough to confirm identity; the description keeps roles only.2011-09-17July 11 20132013-07-11A photograph of a blessing moment indoors at a hall with draped pink curtains. A man in a white kurta with an orange lanyard and an ID badge stands with eyes closed and arms outstretched while a person in orange robes and a pink-and-white flower garland presses a raised palm to his forehead. The robed figure wears a rudraksha bracelet. Other people in white and orange clothing are seated or standing in the background, and a woman in white sits at the lower edge.2012-12-10A seated figure in orange and gold-trimmed robes, with long dark hair and a strand of rudraksha beads with gold accents, places a palm on the forehead of a young man in a maroon kurta with a visitor badge. The young man holds his hands out in a gesture of receiving. Behind them, a man with a white shirt, grey hair and moustache presses his palms together in prayer, and a woman in an orange sari with a gold border stands in the background. The setting is a white-walled hall with a red carpet and a maroon cushion in the foreground.2013-07-03A bare-chested man with swept-back dark hair, a crown-less ceremonial gold necklace and an orange-and-maroon shawl stands at right, his right hand extended to press against the forehead of a bald, bearded man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala and orange sash. The bearded man tilts his head back with raised palm, eyes closed, in a blessing moment. Behind them, a saffron-robed attendant and a white-clad man stand before a bright red draped backdrop, with a camera on a tripod visible. A blessing transmission is the visible action. Probable Swamiji (probable) is the taller figure at right with long swept-back hair, gold necklace and orange shawl, shown in the act of blessing.2012-08-22 +1 copiesA seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a long swept-back hair, white vertical forehead markings, and a long rudraksha mala draped over the chest extends one hand to touch the head of a man in a cream kurta with a rudraksha mala and glasses, who stands with his palms joined in reverence. The seated figure holds a mala in the other hand and sits on a dark cushioned seat with an orange cloth. Behind them, a red drape, a white-clad attendee, and a monk in orange stand nearby. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, saffron robes, and rudraksha mala match cues for the page's Swamiji, and the act is a blessing of the devotee.2012-07-06July 07 20122012-07-07September 03 20112011-09-03 +1 copiesApril 24 20172017-04-24A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe with a rudraksha mala and a hair bun placing his right palm on the crown of another man's head. The recipient, wearing a pink collared shirt and a rudraksha mala, has both palms raised in front of him. Blurred golden deity murti and floral garlands fill the background. The orange-robed figure shows distinctive saffron clothing and rudraksha cues, so this is a person appearance, shown in person giving a blessing.2011-12-01
