December 20 20132013-12-20A seated man in a rust-red robe with a gold-beaded necklace and a red-and-gold headband extends his right hand toward a young curly-haired child in a white shirt, who raises a palm to meet it in a high-five gesture. Behind them an older woman in white with a dark beaded mala and a small brass vessel watches, and other devotees in white and red robes sit in a bright hall with warm lamps. The man appears to be the Swamiji (probable) based on his long swept-back hair, gold ornaments and saffron-toned robe, and is shown in person.2013-12-20A man with long dark hair tied up in a bun, wearing a maroon-red draped cloth and a long ornate gold-beaded necklace, stands at left and extends his right hand to rest on the head of a kneeling young boy in white clothes. A man in white robes wearing a brown rudraksha mala watches beside them. Behind, several women and girls in red, orange and pink saris and robes stand in a blurred hall. The long-haired man with a gold necklace and a gold ornament in his hair matches the presentation of a person, but appearance cues are only partially clear, so identity is uncertain and he is described by role as the man giving blessing.2013-12-20December 20 20132013-12-20December 20 20132013-12-20December 20 20132013-12-20July 15 20132013-07-15December 20 20132013-12-20July 10 20132013-07-10A seated man in a rust-brown robe with gold trim and a long brown mala necklace places his right hand on the forehead of a young boy in an orange sleeveless top with a red lanyard. The boy holds his left palm up in a gesture of receiving. Gold lion-head armrests and a dark chair frame the seated figure, with a large white screen behind. A man's shoulder is partly visible at the right edge. The setting suggests a blessing during an indoor satsang or darshan. The seated figure's distinctive long hair in a bun, brown robe and mala cues make Swamiji a probable candidate, shown in person giving a blessing.2013-12-12July 17 20132013-07-17May 28 20132013-05-28
