Photograph of two men in an indoor hall during a blessing. A man on the left wears a rust-red draped robe with gold-edged border and a beaded rudraksha-style mala, and his hand rests on the forehead of a man on the right, who wears a white shirt and a red shawl and has his eyes closed. Another hand from the left holds the edge of the red shawl. A white wall, dark speaker and a gold object appear in the background. The left figure has a swept-back bun and a bare upper arm; a person appearance label applies to the left man's distinctive rudraksha mala and rust-red robe while he gives the blessing.

Two men stand close in a warmly lit hall, one blessing the other. The figure on the left is bare-chested with a rust-orange cloth draped over his shoulders, a rudraksha-style mala and a gold ceremonial piece at his shoulder, and a small red bindi on his forehead; he presses his right palm to the forehead of a shorter, grey-haired man on the right, who wears a white shirt with a rust-orange shawl and a wristwatch and holds his own hand raised in a gesture of receiving. The setting behind is plain, with a dark speaker and a white panel. The scene reads as a blessing or initiation moment during an ashram gathering.2013-12-16December 10 20132013-12-10December 16 20132013-12-16December 10 20132013-12-10December 17 20132013-12-17A seated man in a rust-red dhoti and wrap, with a rudraksha mala draped over his bare chest, places his right palm on the forehead of an older man with grey hair.

Gold ceremonial objects are visible at the left edge, and two more people in white sit behind in a hall.2013-12-16A seated person with long dark hair pulled back, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over the shoulder and a rust-coloured rudraksha mala, reaches forward to touch the forehead of a kneeling man in a white kurta with a red cord around his neck. The kneeling man raises his palms in an anjali-like gesture while being blessed. A standing figure in an orange and gold shawl with a mala is partly visible at the right edge, and a white wall fan and window frame are in the background. The setting appears to be an indoor ashram hall during a blessing or darshan moment.2013-07-01December 16 20132013-12-16March 07 20142014-03-07A photograph of an indoor satsang-style setting with a man in a rust-orange robe with a gold-edged border and a long rudraksha-style mala, seated and smiling as he places his right palm on the forehead of a older, shaven-headed man in a white long-sleeved top with a red and white beaded mala.
