A photograph of a bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair and a white horizontal tilak on his forehead, wearing a red-orange shawl over a dense rudraksha mala, standing in front of an ornate silver-gold repoussé backdrop. He rests his hands on the head of a shaven-headed young man seated in front, who wears a white thread around his neck. At the left edge, a bare arm marked with white ash lines extends into frame. The setting appears to be a ceremonial darshan.

A photograph of a bare-chested man in a red-orange cloth draped over his shoulder, with long dreadlocked hair, a white horizontal stripe of vibhuti across his forehead, a dense rudraksha mala and a gold pendant necklace. He sits before an ornate silver-embossed backdrop with a carved leopard-skin seat, placing his right hand on the head of a shirtless devotee kneeling in front of him, as in a blessing. A white-clad attendant holds a small card at left and another person stands at right beside a microphone stand. The scene resembles a darshan blessing; the man is an appearance-based a person (long dreadlocks, saffron-red cloth, rudraksha mala, gold necklace), seated and blessing a devotee. Three people are visible in the frame.2018-05-06May 17 20182018-05-17May 17 20182018-05-17December 16 20172017-12-16January 28 20182018-01-28A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a seated man in a silver-and-red throne chair, wearing a deep red-brown robe, multiple gold beaded necklaces, rudraksha bracelets and a red tilak on the forehead, with long dark hair and a full beard. He is placing his hand on the head of a shaved-headed bare-backed man kneeling before him, appearing to bless or initiate him. Behind them are gold and red deity murti and a golden kalasha-like shrine element. A figure in orange robes stands at the right holding a white cord. The setting suggests a deeksha or blessing ritual at the Nithyanandeshwara Temple during Navaratri. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and rudraksha mala, a shawl-like robe and a throne, which together give probable Swamiji cues.2017-09-26May 24 20182018-05-24April 13 20182018-04-13 +1 copiesJanuary 09 20182018-01-09September 26 20172017-09-26 +1 copiesMay 13 20182018-05-13January 09 20182018-01-09
