Two men sit face to face in close, intimate interaction against a deep red curtain. The man on the right wears a plain white dhoti-style drape over a bare upper body, with silver bangles on his wrists, a dark hair knot, and a tilak on his forehead; he smiles and reaches out to rest his hand on the other man's shoulder. The man on the left, seen from behind and partly in profile, wears a white patterned kurta and a gold ring, and raises his palm toward the other. A golden object glows in the lower foreground. Neither man's appearance meets the distinctive-cue threshold for a candidate, so identity is left unsure.

February 08 20122012-02-08Photograph of a darshan moment indoors before a deep red curtain. A smiling man in a white dhoti and white shawl, with a red bindi on his forehead, a bun of hair, and silver bangles and armlets, has his hand placed on the forehead of a second man in a white collared shirt who leans in toward him. The second man's hand is raised near the first man's face. A red cushion is visible at the right edge.2012-02-08A photograph of a man in white draped clothing with a bare upper torso and a red bindi on his forehead, smiling as he places his right hand on the head of a seated man in a white t-shirt. Silver bangles and a silver armlet are visible on the standing man's arms, and he holds a long silver-colored staff or rod across the frame. Behind them hangs a deep red velvet curtain. The standing man has distinctive visible cues of a bare-shouldered white garment with silver ornaments, so he is described as a person figure, blessing a devotee in a personal darshan moment.2012-02-08A photograph of two men seated close together in an indoor room with a deep red curtain behind them. The man on the right, bare-chested with a white dhoti-style wrap over one shoulder, has a shaved-back topknot, a tripundra-style marking on his forehead, silver beaded bangles on his upper arms, and is smiling. He reaches forward with both arms, one hand resting on the shoulder of the man on the left, who wears a white cotton kurta with a fine brown pattern and a gold ring. The left man's palm is raised in a gesture of blessing or greeting. A red cushion and orange fabric appear at the lower right.2012-02-08March 24 20132013-03-24September 29 20132013-09-29Photograph of an indoor stage session against a deep red curtain and a large white dome-shaped backdrop. A man with long dark hair, a red bindi, and an orange-saffron shawl over his shoulder wears a thick white flower garland with dark rudraksha beads, and sits facing left while looking toward another person. A man in a plain white kurta, seen from behind, extends his right arm toward him with an open palm while a hand is raised at the left edge. The scene resembles a healing or darshan-style interaction, with the seated figure presenting a person appearance based on long swept hair, saffron cloth, and garland cues.2008-06-22July 15 20142014-07-15A photograph of a satsang darshan in which a figure in a bare-shouldered orange-saffron cloth with a gold necklace and a bun of dark hair places one hand on the crown of an elderly, white-haired man in a white kurta who wears a rudraksha mala and kneels before him. A standing man in an orange cloth and rudraksha mala watches beside a magenta-red drape, and another man in a salmon-pink top stands at the back left. The visible figure's appearance is consistent with the page's cues of swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold ornaments, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) as the one giving blessing.2012-08-22 +1 copiesA photo of two men at close range in a red-draped hall. On the left, a man with long dark hair in a bun, bare-shouldered and wearing an orange-red cloth with a gold chain necklace and a white tilak on his forehead, extends his right hand to touch the forehead of a bald man on the right, who wears a plain white kurta. Behind them is a golden deity murti or ornate figure, and a lit oil lamp hangs at the left edge. Bamboo screens and a partially visible seated figure appear in the background. A man in orange-red clothing giving a blessing with his palm on another's head suggests a darshan or blessing moment.2014-07-15February 09 20122012-02-09July 06 20122012-07-06
