Outdoors under bright sky and bare trees, a seated man in a yellow short-sleeved shirt with eyes closed and hands folded in his lap receives a blessing. A man in a white kurta-style shirt stands behind him, pressing one palm on the seated man's head. A dark-haired onlooker in a light green shirt, a woman in a green sari and a man in a light blue shirt stand nearby. A vertical tilak mark is visible on the seated man's forehead. The setting looks like a dirt path with a street lamp.

April 06 20122012-04-06Outdoors on dusty ground with trees behind, a man in a white shirt with grey hair and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead sits with eyes closed and palms pressed together in prayer. Beside him a man in a white shirt with a red bindi and a gold bangle places his right hand on the seated man's head in a blessing gesture, his eyes closed. A badge hangs from the standing man's neck and a dark cord is visible. Other people in white and pink clothing stand in the background, including a woman in a blue top at the left edge. No identifiable a person appearance is visible, so this shows devotees in a blessing or initiation moment.2012-04-06April 06 20122012-04-06July 30 20062006-07-30Outdoor photo on dry red earth with trees behind.

A man in a white shirt and white trousers, wearing a rudraksha mala, sits on the floor and places his right hand on the crown of a seated man's head, who wears a pale collared shirt and bows his head. Beside them an older man with grey hair sits in a white shirt and white dhoti with his hands clasped.

A date stamp and a copyright notice appear in the lower corners.A photo of a man in a white kurta with embroidered neckline, eyes closed, placing his right hand on the head of a seated man in a cream polo shirt. The blessing man wears gold bangles on his raised wrist and has a red tilak mark on his forehead, with long hair falling behind him. The seated man, viewed from behind, has short dark hair and bows his head. A white plastic chair and a red-cushioned surface are visible; the background is blurred with white and orange cloth. Appearance is consistent with the page's a person label but cues are limited, so identity is uncertain. The scene is a blessing or initiation moment.2007-02-24A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair, a white flower garland and bare chest, placing a hand on the forehead of a seated devotee in a white shirt, during a blessing or energy darshan. Behind them stand people in white dhotis and cream shawls, one with a gold-bordered cloth. Another seated man in a white shirt watches with his head bowed, and a woman in a red garment and gold bangles sits near the devotee. A plastic-wrapped bundle rests on a woven tray at the bottom, and a low red wall with a white sheet stretched across a bench forms the backdrop. Swamiji (probable) is present: the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a flower garland, and is performing the darshan.2006-12-10A photograph of a bare-chested figure with long swept-back dark hair and heavy gold ceremonial necklaces placing a hand on the forehead of a seated man in white shirt and white dhoti, with rudraksha beads around his neck, hands joined in prayer. Several standing men in white shirts and white dhotis watch in the background, and a white fan is visible at left. The bare-chested figure shows distinctive adornments and hair cues consistent with a person candidate, so this appearance-based label is a person, but the faint quality leaves identity uncertain.2006-07-30Close photo of a man with closed eyes and hands pressed in namaste, wearing a white kurta and a rudraksha mala of reddish beads. A long-haired figure in white with a gold-bordered shawl touches his forehead with one hand, apparently applying a mark or blessing.
