A photograph of a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange draped garment and a rudraksha mala with gold ornaments, leaning forward to place a hand on the head of a shaved-headed man in white kurta and white dhoti with a gold border. A second man in white stands behind, and several standing men in white clothes are visible in the background near a window and wall. The scene appears to be a blessing or initiation gesture. Swamiji (probable) is the saffron-clad figure with long hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, performing the blessing.

March 14 20132013-03-14A seated figure with long dark hair wears an orange-red shawl over the shoulder, a beaded mala necklace with gold ornaments, and an orange-red wrap on the lap. Their right hand is raised to touch the forehead of a balding, bearded man in a white kurta with a textured pattern, whose eyes are closed and palms are raised near his ears. A second seated person in white with a rudraksha mala bows forward in the foreground. Two men stand in the background near a window, and a potted plant and a cooler sit on the sides of an indoor hall. The seated figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, orange-red garments and gold-and-bead necklaces, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference; this is an appearance-based candidate only. The gesture is a forehead blessing given during a satsang setting.2013-03-17March 14 20132013-03-14March 17 20132013-03-17March 17 20132013-03-17May 14 20132013-05-14July 06 20132013-07-06March 17 20132013-03-17A photograph of a ritual blessing indoors.
