A photo of a darshan-style blessing on a stage with a pink and dark backdrop printed with large gears. A bare-chested figure in an orange saffron shawl with gold trim and a gold-bead ornament in the hair places one hand on the crown of a bald, moustached man in a white shirt who raises his other hand holding a red rudraksha mala. Behind them a woman in orange clothes extends her arm. Appearance-based a person cues: long swept-back hair, orange ornate clothing and a bare upper body, so this is a probable in-person candidate performing the blessing.

A long-haired figure in orange robes with rudraksha malas and a gold necklace reaches out and presses fingers to the forehead of a man in a white shirt. Behind them a bald man in orange and a shawl with a rudraksha mala watches, and a figure in orange stands at the left edge. The figure in orange with long hair appears to be a person, giving a blessing to a devotee. A purple logo sits at the upper left. Several people are visible.2012-07-17July 17 20122012-07-17August 22 20122012-08-22 +1 copiesA photograph of a ritual blessing in an indoor hall. A man with his hair tied in a topknot and a long rudraksha mala wears a saffron-orange robe and sits on the floor, one hand raised to touch the forehead of a man in a white shirt who holds his palms up in devotion. Behind them a man in a white dhoti and a rudraksha mala stands beside a golden pillar, and a camera operator in a red shirt films from the back. Brass oil lamps stand at the right and a white floor fan is at the rear. Cues on the blessing figure: topknot, saffron robe and rudraksha beads, though his face is not visible enough to confirm identity; the description keeps roles only.2011-09-17July 17 20122012-07-17July 06 20122012-07-06July 17 20122012-07-17A photograph of a seated man in long dark hair and orange-saffron draped cloth, bare-chested with gold necklaces and gold earrings, placing his right palm on the forehead of a shaved-headed man in a white shirt wearing an orange lanyard and a beaded rudraksha-style mala.
