A man in a saffron-orange dhoti with a gold border and a long orange-beaded rudraksha-style mala blesses a devotee by placing his hand on the devotee's head. The man has long swept-back hair and gold earrings; the page states Swamiji is at this event, and the appearance cues (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, beaded mala) are consistent, so he is a probable Swamiji. Nearby, devotees in white shirts and trousers with lanyards stand with hands folded in namaskar or bend forward in reverence. A shaven-headed priest with white tilak on his forehead and an orange shawl stands at left, and a row of women and men in white and saffron waits behind metal stanchions. A golden deity murti or throne canopy is visible in the background.2013-09-29A photograph in a large hall with red curtains and ceiling lights shows a man with long swept-back dark hair, bare-chested, wearing a rust-brown dhoti-style wrap with a gold border and an orange shawl with a beaded mala, reaching out to bless the head of a devotee. Probable Swamiji's appearance matches the presentation cues of long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-orange shawl, and he is the one giving blessing. Around him, a row of devotees with folded hands and white clothes, some with white vibhuti lines on their foreheads, stand behind stanchions, and a man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands at left. Several people in white kurtas and saris are visible in the background. Roughly a dozen physical people are visible.2013-09-21September 26 20132013-09-26Indoor photo of a ceremonial blessing in a hall with white tiled floor and metal stanchions.
