A photograph of a seated ritual exchange in a bright marble hall with white pedestal fans. On the left, a young man with shoulder-length hair, wearing a plain white dhoti and shawl, sits with palms pressed together and a green leaf or offering held at his lips. On the right, a man with swept-back dark hair wears a layered garland of red and white flowers, gold bangles, a gold-embroidered reddish-orange cloth and a small headset microphone. He extends one hand toward the young man while holding a gold ring and a bowl of green offerings in the other. A golden throne-like seat and a red cushion are visible at the right edge. Other people stand blurred in the background.2012-04-23April 23 20132013-04-23July 03 20132013-07-03June 23 20172017-06-23July 02 20132013-07-02July 10 20132013-07-10A photograph of a seated man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a rust-orange wrap, a rudraksha-style bead necklace and ornate silver-beaded armlets and necklace, raising his hand toward a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with gold border and a red sacred thread. The standing man, with his palms raised and a rudraksha mala draped near his face, is receiving a blessing gesture. Behind them a seated man in white with a bead mala sits, a man in white stands in the background, and an older man with white moustache and an orange shawl stands at right. Red and white floral garlands decorate the left edge, and a red cloth covers the seat. The seated figure with long hair and saffron wrap and ornate beaded jewellery is a person candidate, shown in a seated position giving a blessing to the standing devotee.2013-07-10July 17 20132013-07-17June 23 20172017-06-23July 03 20132013-07-03May 28 20172017-05-28A kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with short grey-flecked hair and a stubbled beard, extends cupped hands toward a seated figure on a gold-trimmed red throne. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders, a long swept-back black hair style, a white horizontal tilak on the forehead and a dark rudraksha mala with a gold-toned necklace. The seated figure hands a small white object into the man's palms. Standing behind them are devotees in white, including a man in a white dhoti with a gold border and a saffron-trimmed chain, with hands folded. Gold-framed red cushions and a dark-brown wooden floor complete the setting. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by the saffron shawl, swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, receiving the devotee's kneeling offering.2012-05-14 +1 copies
