A photograph of a bald, bearded man in an orange-striped shawl and a white dhoti kneeling before a seated figure, whose right hand rests on his head in a blessing. The seated figure has long dark hair swept back, a red and gold ornate turban with gold ornaments, a gold necklace, rudraksha beads on the wrist and arm, and a saffron-red garment. Behind them, several people in orange and white ritual clothing stand near a gold-patterned pillar and green foliage, with a silver rod in the foreground. Probable Swamiji seated in the blessing role, identified by the layered cues of hair, ornate turban, gold necklace and rudraksha adornments.

June 27 20172017-06-27A photograph of a bald, smiling devotee in an orange-and-saffron shawl with printed script, bending forward as a man in a maroon-red turban and red-brown shawl places his hand on the devotee's head in a blessing. The blessing man has long dark hair under a turban decorated with gold cords and jewelled ornaments, wears a rudraksha bead bracelet on his wrist and a heavy gold necklace, and smiles warmly. Behind them, blurred figures in orange and white stand near a gilded temple pillar with ornate golden carvings. The blessing figure has long swept-back hair, a turban and ceremonial gold necklaces, matching the a person cues; this is a physical person in the scene, so the appearance-based label applies.2017-06-27June 27 20172017-06-27June 27 20172017-06-27A photograph of a ceremonial initiation moment. A bare-chested man with long dreadlocked hair, wearing a red-maroon wrap draped over his shoulders, a maroon turban wound with gold bands and a white flower ornament, a gold necklace and rudraksha bracelets, places his right hand on the forehead of a seated man with short dark hair who wears an orange cloth with printed script. The seated man has his eyes closed and palms raised. Behind them a golden shrine-like backdrop and green foliage. Appearance-based probable Swamiji: his presentation has long swept-back hair, a turban, gold necklaces and rudraksha beads, so the tall dreadlocked figure in red is the probable Swamiji performing darshan as the initiator.2017-06-27June 27 20172017-06-27 +1 copiesJuly 07 20172017-07-07June 27 20172017-06-27June 27 20172017-06-27 +1 copiesJune 27 20172017-06-27 +1 copiesJuly 07 20172017-07-07June 27 20172017-06-27 +1 copies
