A photograph of a seated, bare-chested man in an orange-brown dhoti and orange shawl, with hair in a topknot and gold earrings, placing both hands on the heads of two seated devotees. A woman on the left wears an orange blouse, a red-and-maroon sari edge, bangles and a hair bun, with her palms pressed together in namaste and eyes closed. A man beside her in an orange shawl bows his head. Behind them, people in white and orange clothing sit against a red curtain. The man giving the blessing has long hair in a bun and a gold chain, and his appearance is consistent with the page's description, but the face is not visible enough to confirm identity.

A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, bare-chested with a long dark hair knot and gold earrings, placing his hand on the forehead of a devotee kneeling in front of him. The devotee, wearing a white shirt and an orange shawl, has hands pressed together in anjali and bows his head. Another devotee in an orange shawl and white clothes sits beside them, and a red curtain hangs in the background. The figure with the knot and orange dhoti matches the page's a person cues, so this is a person blessing a devotee in a satsang or darshan setting; the blessing gesture is a head touch. Three people are visible, with others partially behind them.2012-07-09A photograph of a blessing moment. A bare-shouldered man with hair swept back in a bun, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti-style wrap, a thin gold necklace and a small gold earring, sits with a broad smile and places both hands on the head of a girl with a long side braid. She wears an orange patterned salwar kameez and gold bangles, and her eyes are closed with palms raised. Beside them a man in white with rudraksha mala and a name badge, and a child in orange, watch. Red drapery forms the backdrop. The man in orange has distinctive long swept hair, a bare-chested saffron wrap and gold ornaments, so he is a person in person with a blessing role. Behind them a second kind of attendee stands with rudraksha beads.2012-07-09February 09 20122012-02-09July 09 20122012-07-09July 09 20122012-07-09July 09 20122012-07-09July 09 20122012-07-09July 09 20122012-07-09July 09 20122012-07-09A photograph of a blessing moment indoors in front of a red drape.
