A seated man in a rust-red garment with a gold-edged shawl and long hair swept back, with white sacred ash on his forehead and a red mark, presses his palm to the forehead of an older man with white hair and a grey beard wearing a dark navy jacket. A golden lion-head throne ornament and a backdrop of flower garlands in red, yellow and white frame the blessing. Behind them, a man in white with a rudraksha mala and white forehead markings looks on. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan moment. The seated man is a probable Swamiji by appearance, based on his long swept-back hair, the ornate red garment and the rudraksha-style adornments, and the page lists this event as including him.

He reaches out to touch the upper arm and shoulder of an older, white-bearded man in a dark black zip jacket over a red garment, who extends a palm toward him.

A small red bindi marks his forehead. A kneeling young man in a dark brown t-shirt with a red rudraksha mala and a white flower garland receives the blessing, his palm resting on his own knee. Behind them stand a golden lion-form throne support, a golden deity murti, and a golden-yellow cloth draped with garlands of green, yellow and red flowers. A wristwatch is visible on the kneeling man's wrist. The seated man appears to be the one being described on the page as the person giving the blessing; his appearance shows a rudraksha mala and bare shoulder but no distinctly identifying cues like saffron clothing or long swept hair, so the identification is uncertain.2013-11-14A seated man with short dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a red-maroon cloth wrapped over bare shoulders and a garland of white and orange flowers places his right hand on the forehead of a bald, bearded older man in a white kurta with a beaded necklace who holds his right palm raised in greeting. Behind them stands a gilded throne or red cushioned seat, two golden cobra-hooded forms in the foreground, and a silver staff. On the right, an older woman in an orange shawl stands with folded hands.2014-05-13January 12 20142014-01-12
