A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with layered gold-beaded necklaces and a rudraksha mala sits on an orange-draped seat, touching the head of a kneeling man in white clothes with an orange shawl, who bows low with his hands joined. Standing attendants in orange shawls and white garments are nearby, and a crowd of seated devotees, including children, watches from the right. Flower garlands, an orange cushion with yellow flowers, a brass kalasha-style pole and a small shrine with a deity picture are visible. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, and presents the blessing.2008-12-28 +1 copiesAugust 12 20082008-08-12A photograph of an indoor initiation or darshan scene. A figure seated on a white-covered chair wears a sleeveless saffron/orange robe, has long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, and places one hand on the head of a kneeling devotee. Visible cues include long hair and saffron clothing, supporting a probable identification as Swamiji (probable). Around him, a young man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala kneels with palms joined, a woman in a white sari with a long braid bows forward with joined hands, and another devotee's hand appears at the lower edge. Standing behind them, two attendants wear white kurtas with saffron shawls and rudraksha malas; one holds a silver tray with flowers, a cloth and offerings. A red floral arrangement, a trident-shaped stand and a standing fan are visible in the background.2008-03-22Indoor photo at an ashram hall showing a woman with long dark wavy hair in an orange shawl over red clothing seated on an orange cushion, her palm raised to bless the forehead of a kneeling woman in a light blue patterned sari with a blue blouse. Beside them a man in a white shirt and white dhoti kneels smiling, and a seated man in white with an orange shawl and tilak sits on the floor. A standing man in white with an orange shawl and a woman in a white sari with orange border sit in front, and a small girl in pink stands at the doorway. A white-draped table with a bell and a folded mat are in the background, with a small plate of offerings. The woman in orange appears to be a person, seated and giving blessing, which is an unsure appearance-based label.2008-09-22February 14 20072007-02-14
