Photograph of two people in close intimate contact, foreheads touching, in a plain pale-walled room. The figure on the left wears an orange saffron garment draped over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala of dark brown beads, and dark hair tied in a top knot; he is smiling with eyes closed. The figure on the right, a younger boy with short dark hair, wears a white shirt and a rudraksha mala and has his eyes closed. The older man's hand rests on the boy's neck.

On the left, a bare-shouldered man with hair tied in a topknot wears an orange wrap and a long rudraksha mala, smiling with eyes closed. On the right, a young boy in a white shirt with a red-brown rudraksha mala leans in, his forehead pressed to the man's. The moment appears to be a blessing exchange in a satsang-style setting.2011-07-06A seated man in a rust-brown dhoti-style garment with a gold border rests his right hand on the forehead of a shaven-headed boy in an orange sleeveless robe. The seated man, with long hair tied back, rudraksha mala beads and white vibhuti marks, smiles warmly. The boy wears a rudraksha mala, bangle and a white vibhuti mark, eyes closed, palms together in a respectful gesture. Gold ceremonial objects and a dark speaker stand in the background. This appears to be a blessing moment, with the seated man's appearance matching the page's Swamiji cues of long hair, rudraksha beads and a ceremonial setting (probable).2013-12-08Photo 11726308 +1 copiesNovember 06 20112011-11-06November 27 20112011-11-27November 25 20112011-11-25 +1 copiesJuly 11 20172017-07-11 +2 copiesA photograph of a man with hair tied in a bun, bare-shouldered and wearing a red wrap with a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder, bowing his head toward a boy in a red polo shirt who leans forward with his head touching the man's head. A flame of an oil lamp glows in the background, with blurred colourful pictures behind them. The man's appearance shows a rudraksha mala and red wrap but no clear crown, saffron robe or ceremonial gold necklace, so the identity of the man cannot be confirmed; he is a priest or devotee receiving blessing from the child.2011-07-04A seated man in a rust-brown robe with gold trim and a long brown mala necklace places his right hand on the forehead of a young boy in an orange sleeveless top with a red lanyard. The boy holds his left palm up in a gesture of receiving. Gold lion-head armrests and a dark chair frame the seated figure, with a large white screen behind. A man's shoulder is partly visible at the right edge. The setting suggests a blessing during an indoor satsang or darshan. The seated figure's distinctive long hair in a bun, brown robe and mala cues make Swamiji a probable candidate, shown in person giving a blessing.2013-12-12
