Photo of a ceremony against a red drapery backdrop. A long-haired man with a white forehead marking, wearing rudraksha malas and an orange wrap, holds a metal bell-hung rod and touches the forehead of an older grey-haired man in a white kurta with an orange shawl. Behind them a young man in white dhoti with gold border sits. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, orange wrap) is the figure on the left performing the blessing, so the swamiji value is in_person.2012-09-09September 09 20122012-09-09A man in a saffron-orange robe with a bare shoulder and a red hair tie stands before a red curtain, placing his palm on the forehead of an older man in a white shirt and orange-red shawl who holds his own hand up in gesture. A silver trident and golden deity figure stand behind them. The left figure has white vibhuti marks and a gold necklace, and his appearance is distinctive, with swept-back hair and ceremonial adornments, but the appearance is not conclusive.2014-07-20A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and a red-brown wrap with dark patterned cloth, smiling and touching the forehead of a kneeling man in white clothes with a red-patterned shawl and folded hands in namaskar. Behind them stands a large deity murti adorned with gold necklaces and garlands, with green foliage, orange flowers and a silver staff nearby. This appears to be a darshan blessing moment. The seated figure has cues consistent with a person with the throne and blessing role, though appearance is partly obscured by the angle.2014-12-26A seated figure with a pink and white flower garland and green leaf garland, bare-shouldered in an orange-red wrap, sits on a red throne with gold lion-shaped armrests and applies a white ritual mark or tilak to a standing devotee. The devotee in a white shirt and orange shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaste before a silver staff with a gold base. Background shows a red and gold banner and another person in orange and white. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair, a ceremonial garland and orange-red clothing, matching the page's claim of his presence.2014-05-11May 11 20142014-05-11November 03 20132013-11-03May 03 20142014-05-03August 26 20142014-08-26September 28 20142014-09-28May 02 20142014-05-02A photograph of a devotee receiving a blessing in front of a red draped curtain. A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange garment, wearing rudraksha malas and a sandalwood tilak on the forehead, smiles while raising a hand to touch the forehead of a man with curly greying hair in a cream-coloured shirt and a rudraksha mala. A younger man in white ritual dress with a gold-bordered cloth sits behind them, and brass bells hang from a pole at left. The setting suggests a satsang or blessing ceremony.2012-09-09
