A photograph of a man in an orange sleeveless top with long dark hair pressing his right hand on the head of a balding, moustached man in a white shirt who bows forward. A woman in a pink top with a red bindi stands behind them watching, and people in cream and yellow garments stand in the background beside a red-and-white painted wall.2010-07-02July 10 20112011-07-10A photograph of a long-haired figure in an orange saffron robe placing a hand on the head of a man with short dark hair and a moustache, who bows with eyes closed and wears a white shirt with a rudraksha mala. Behind them, a smiling woman in a white top presses her palms together in anjali, and other people stand in an orange-walled hall. The scene reads as a blessing or darshan. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired figure wears orange saffron robes and long swept-back hair, a presentation consistent with the page's reference to him.2010-08-11A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron shawl placing his right hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt, who has his eyes closed and head bowed. Behind them, women in cream and multicolored patterned saris stand with hands held together in devotion, and an orange-walled hall with a red cushioned seat and a small wall sign is visible. The saffron-clad figure is a person by appearance, with long swept hair and saffron clothing, placing his hand in blessing on the devotee.2010-08-11A photograph of a shaved-headed... no, a long-haired man in an orange sleeveless top with an orange shawl draped over his shoulder, reaching his right hand onto the head of a seated older man in white clothing with a red tilak mark on his forehead. The seated man has his eyes closed and a smile. Behind them a young woman in a cream sari with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala stands, and another person in a light sari is partly visible, with a red-and-white painted wall and an orange cloth in the background. The scene reads as a blessing given through touch on the head.2010-07-19A photograph of a darshan moment. A woman with long dark hair decorated with a string of yellow flowers, wearing an orange sari, sits turned to the side and smiles while placing her right hand on the head of a seated man in a light blue shirt who bows forward. Behind her, a figure in a white robe with a red border stands, and another person in white clothing is partly visible at the upper right against a red curtain.2011-07-10July 23 20102010-07-23A photograph of a ceremonial blessing at an ashram. A figure in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and a gold-trimmed shawl stands at right, placing both hands on the head of a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who wears a red-bead mala and closes his eyes. A woman in a pink sari with white flowers in her hair kneels at lower left with palms pressed together. Behind them, several men in white ritual clothes and white caps stand among the gathered devotees. The orange-robed figure has appearance cues consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, including long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji presence in person, while the other people are devotees.2005-03-08July 10 20112011-07-10A photograph of a healing or blessing moment indoors under warm, dim lighting with hanging decorative cloth above. A person with long, dark, curly hair in an orange sleeveless top places a hand on the shoulder of a balding older man in a white short-sleeved shirt and light trousers who bends his head forward. A second woman in an orange-red sari with a bindi stands behind, reaching toward the man's forehead. A badge hangs from the man's neck and another orange-clad person stands at the right edge. The orange-clad figure with long curly hair shows appearance cues but is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the role is given as a devotee or sannyasi.2010-02-10June 30 20102010-06-30A photograph of a seated figure in an orange sleeveless garment with long, swept-back dark hair touching the forehead of a young man in white kurta and white shawl who has closed eyes and a rudraksha mala with a small pendant. The seated figure's raised right hand presses something to the young man's forehead. Behind them, a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala and other people in white stand in a room with a navy curtain and a brass hanging lamp at right. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, an orange garment and a rudraksha-like cue, so this appearance is consistent with a person performing a forehead blessing, though it is an appearance-based label.2006-12-10
