A woman with hair tied in a bun, gold hoop earrings, a rudraksha-style bead necklace, and an orange shawl places her hand on the crown of a man's head. The man has closed eyes, short dark hair, a moustache, and wears a white kurta with an orange shawl, a gold wristwatch on his hand. Behind them, other people in orange shawls and white clothes stand against a red curtain. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation moment.2012-07-20March 27 20182018-03-27 +2 copiesJuly 20 20122012-07-20A photo of a blessing moment at an indoor event. A seated figure in an orange turban, orange shawl with gold borders and a red-and-yellow flower garland stretches an arm forward and places a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt, who has his palm raised. A man in white and a second man in white with a rudraksha mala appear behind. Orange and pink lights and white flowers decorate the background. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and bare-chested ornate orange dress with a gold-trimmed shawl, consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues and a blessing role, so the appearance is a plausible in-person match.2012-03-30August 22 20122012-08-22 +1 copiesApril 22 20122012-04-22 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremonial blessing at an indoor event hall with a red curtain behind.
