A photograph of a shaven-headed priest in saffron-orange silk wrap with a rudraksha mala and white tilak on his forehead placing his hand on the head of a young boy in a black t-shirt with an orange lanyard. The boy has his eyes closed and head bowed, and holds an orange-wrapped box with a small gold-edged paper item. Another man with white tilak sits blurred in the background, with a woman in pink in the far background.

The boy stands with eyes closed and hands folded. Behind them a second man in white with a yellow-bordered cloth and white forehead marks sits, and blurred figures stand in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated blessing figure shows long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, the cues the page associates with Swamiji, though this is an appearance-based label.2013-02-25February 25 20132013-02-25March 05 20132013-03-05February 23 20132013-02-23 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a sleeveless bare-shouldered drape and layered rudraksha malas and gold ornaments, wearing a white vertical tilak and red bindi on his forehead and gold-beaded armlets. He rests his right hand on the head of a young boy in a navy t-shirt standing before him, a ritual blessing gesture. Behind him a golden throne with red upholstery; another figure in orange robes and an orange head covering stands behind, raising a hand. Red cushions and a tray of flower petals sit at the lower left, and a white-clad attendant is partly visible at the far left. Plain white wall and a wall vent in the background.2012-10-16A photograph of a bare-chested man in orange ochre cloth with a long rudraksha and silver bead mala and a gold pendant necklace, seated on a red cushion. He has hair tied in a bun, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, and is smiling as he places his right hand on the head of a boy. The boy, in a turquoise t-shirt with a rudraksha mala, has his palms pressed together in namaste and eyes lowered. Behind them a woman in an orange saree and another person in blue stand in a plain room. The man has distinctive long rudraksha and gold adornments and an orange wrap, consistent with the page reference to a person, so this is a probable identification of the seated man, who is blessing the boy.2012-10-11July 07 20122012-07-07November 25 20112011-11-25 +1 copies
