A long-haired man in an orange saffron shawl and a rudraksha mala sits on a red and black patterned seat, placing his right hand on the forehead of a standing devotee in a navy and white striped shirt with an ID badge. The devotee holds a folded white paper in one hand and has his palms pressed together in reverence. Behind them, seated people in white dhotis and rudraksha malas watch, and deep red curtains form the backdrop. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan moment during a satsang.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron shawl and red tiger-striped cloth, with long swept-back black hair and a rudraksha mala, placing his right hand on the head of a man in a navy and white striped polo shirt who has his palms pressed together in reverence. The seated figure holds a small white card in his left hand. Several other people in orange and white clothing sit blurred behind them against a maroon curtain. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation moment. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, consistent with the page's reference to Paramahamsa Nithyananda.2012-04-25April 22 20122012-04-22 +1 copiesA seated figure in an orange saffron garment with long, dark, swept-back hair extends an arm toward a young man in an orange shirt who stands before them with his palms pressed together and eyes closed, as if receiving a blessing or touch on the head. The seated figure holds a small white paper or card in the other hand and sits on a red cushion with a folded orange towel beside them. Several onlookers are visible in the background, including a person in white and others seated near a rudraksha mala-wearing devotee. The setting is an indoor hall with air conditioning units and a pale wall.2012-04-22April 22 20122012-04-22 +1 copiesApril 23 20122012-04-23 +1 copiesA seated man in an orange saffron robe with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck places his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling young boy in a yellow, green and blue striped shirt, who has his palms pressed together in namaste. The man holds small silver-toned objects in his left hand and has his hair tied back in a bun. A red tiger-striped cushion lies beneath him. Behind them, a blurred crowd of devotees in white and orange stands near a floral-decorated altar with purple and red garlands. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan. The man has distinctive rudraksha beads and orange robes, consistent with a swami in a blessing gesture, but his face is partly turned and the appearance is not conclusive, so the identity is uncertain.2012-04-25A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair swept back and a rudraksha mala at his neck, pressing both palms to the head of a younger man in a teal-blue striped shirt with an orange shawl. The recipient's eyes are closed and he is bowed in receiving a blessing. A partly visible man in white and orange stands behind, and a corner of a garland with orange and red flowers appears at upper left. Swamiji (probable) is the saffron-robed figure with long hair and rudraksha mala, giving a blessing to a devotee in a sacred blessing setting.2012-04-27April 25 20122012-04-25April 22 20122012-04-22April 22 20122012-04-22December 08 20112011-12-08April 23 20122012-04-23 +1 copies
