December 07 20132013-12-07A seated man with long dark hair pulled back, wearing a rust-red shawl over his shoulder and a gold-toned chain with rudraksha beads, places his palm on the forehead of a short-haired man in a white long-sleeved top. The recipient holds his hands in anjali mudra and wears a rudraksha bracelet. Behind them are beige padded panels, a gold-coloured fabric and a red cloth at the left edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, ornate clothing and ceremonial beads, so Swamiji (probable) is the appearance-based label for this in-person blessing moment.2013-12-03August 21 20122012-08-21 +1 copiesJuly 06 20132013-07-06March 26th 20142014-03-26March 07 20142014-03-07December 07 20132013-12-07July 14 20122012-07-14March 06 20142014-03-06A bare-chested man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a saffron-orange shawl and a thick ceremonial beaded necklace of rudraksha-style malas, presses his palms to the forehead of a smiling bald man in a white kurta with an orange lanyard and wristwatch. Both are smiling. Behind them stand gold ritual objects, a gold kalasha-style lamp stand and a deep red cloth backdrop. Two other people in white and pastel clothing stand in the background. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and layered malas, matching the Nithyananda Paramashivam archive context; the figure is performing a blessing-style touch on the devotee's head.2015-10-06March 17 20142014-03-17December 17 20132013-12-17
