A photograph of an indoor event where a bare-chested figure in an orange-red turban decorated with white flower-like rosettes, with a rudraksha-style bead necklace, faces a young man in a white shirt wearing an orange-beaded garland and a small red bindi. The turbaned figure's hands are raised in a blessing-like gesture toward him. Behind them, a man in a white shirt wears a dark bead mala and an ID badge, and a woman in glasses and other people stand in the background near a wall-mounted fan and a dark curtain. The young man has his hands pressed together in respect.

Around them, seated and standing devotees wear white with orange shawls; a woman at right holds a microphone and a woman at lower left has a yellow tilak. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan in an indoor hall with beige walls and a red-draped seating area. The cues of the turbaned figure (rust turban, orange robes, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold chain) are distinctive, so this is a person.2015-10-21A photograph of a ritual blessing inside a hall with white walls and a ceiling fan. A shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shirt, wearing a rudraksha-style wrist band and a lanyard, stands with palms pressed together while a saffron-robed figure places a hand on his forehead. The robed figure wears a white garland of flowers, layered rudraksha and gold necklaces, bangles and a white tilak, and holds a folded paper. Beside him, another saffron-robed man with a rudraksha mala gestures toward a brass vessel on an orange cloth. Onlookers in white and orange stand behind, and a young boy in an orange shirt watches. The robed figure has distinctive garland and necklace cues, so he is a person.2012-09-12May 21 20122012-05-21A photograph of a ceremonial blessing in an ashram hall with red curtains and a pink wall. In the foreground, a long-haired man in a rust-orange wrap and rudraksha mala places both hands on the head of a man who wears a bright orange turban and a white kurta with an orange lanyard. Another orange-robed figure with rudraksha beads stands behind them, and a woman in an orange sari and several men in white and orange stand in the background, watching. A panel of wooden doors with lights is visible at the top right. The gesture appears to be a blessing, and the long-haired figure may be a person, identified by the long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and orange-saffron robe, though the appearance is not conclusive.2013-09-05September 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copiesA photograph of a devotee receiving attention from a robed figure at an indoor event. In the foreground, a person wearing an orange-red turban, an ornate gold-beaded necklace and an orange-yellow garment with gold bangles leans in and holds the chest-area scarf of a bearded young man in white ritual clothing and an orange-red scarf printed with mantras, with a red tilak on his forehead and a red-and-orange wristband. Behind them, several women in white saris and white tops with red-and-white lanyards stand with hands folded in anjali, and an ornate gold-framed mirror and a decorated table appear at right. The person in the turban has long swept-back hair and distinctive ceremonial adornments, which may match the page's description of a person, but the appearance is not certain enough to confirm identity.2015-09-11A photograph of a smiling man in an orange-red turban decorated with white jewelled brooches and a red bindi, wearing an orange-red shawl draped over an orange garment with gold border and a long gold bead mala with a white bird pendant.

Behind them is a gold ornate backdrop with marigold garlands and a row of oil lamps.2011-08-19
