A photo of a blessing moment in an indoor hall. A man in an orange shawl with a long rudraksha mala and a ceremonial red-and-gold necklace sits on the left, smiling, one hand raised with palm facing the other man's forehead. A second man in a maroon t-shirt with white lettering bends forward on the right, eyes closed, receiving the touch on his forehead. Behind them stand tall polished brass oil lamps, and a green and yellow backdrop is visible at the left edge.

The recipient, in a white short-sleeved shirt, is seen from behind. A golden lamp stand with a bird finial rises in the background against a soft green and yellow backdrop. The gesture reads as a blessing given during a gathering.2011-11-25Photograph of two men seated close together in a warm, intimate blessing moment in front of colourful hanging banners and red drapes.

The man on the right, seen from behind with curly dark hair, wears a maroon-mauve shirt and places his palm on the other's hand and forehead area in a gesture of reverence.

The seated man has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and eyes closed, and is smiling. Behind him is a brass oil lamp and a decorated wall with a painted image of a goddess in red and orange. A partially visible bald man in white stands at the left edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, orange silk and a rudraksha mala, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable match.2011-11-29April 14 20122012-04-14March 11 20142014-03-11December 01 20112011-12-01November 29 20112011-11-29
