A long-haired figure in a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap and a rudraksha mala sits in the foreground, leaning forward to place a hand on the head of a young boy with a bowed head. Behind them, a man in white dhoti-and-shawl stands at left, and a person in white with rudraksha malas and gold necklace stands at right among several children in white and light clothing. A dark red curtain hangs in the background. The scene looks like a blessing or darshan moment with a small group of children and devotees.

Maroon curtains and a white wall with a window form the background. The figure appears to be a person based on the long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and orange garment, giving blessing to the child in what looks like a darshan setting.2013-05-13 +1 copiesA smiling woman with long dark hair pulled back sits at left, wearing a rust-orange draped garment and an orange-brown shawl, extending her right arm to bless a young boy in a black hoodie with red hood trim. Behind her a man in white dhoti and shirt with a red tilak smiles, and several men, women and children in white or light clothing crowd the room. A brass vessel sits at the lower left. Behind the group stand white-framed windows and a maroon curtain. The woman's appearance and orange clothing show cues associated with a sannyasi, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2013-05-13July 15 20132013-07-15A photograph of a long-haired figure in a rust-orange shawl and a red-and-orange beaded mala with large round beads reaching out to place a hand on the head of a young boy in a red and white t-shirt, who bows his head.

Several children in casual clothes, including a boy in a light-green shirt and a boy in a purple T-shirt, crowd around. Behind them a smiling person in white clothing with a white forehead mark and a rudraksha mala stands. Red drapes and a window appear in the background. Appearance cues, including the long hair, saffron wrap and rudraksha mala, are consistent with a person presence, and the event page associates a person with this satsang, though the figure is shown from the side and the identification is uncertain.2013-05-19July 15 20132013-07-15A photograph of a ritual blessing in an indoor hall. A long-haired woman in an orange-brown garment with an orange rudraksha-style bead garland lays her right hand on the head of a young man in a white t-shirt with a blue lanyard badge, who bows forward. Beside them a person in orange-brown robes with a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace stands, and a shirtless man with a white bandage on his forehead is behind. A blurred orange-rimmed basin sits at lower left, and a white air-conditioning unit is on the left wall. Several other people are visible in the background. Cues for the figure in orange-brown robes with a rudraksha mala are present, but his face is partly turned and the image does not clearly establish him as a person, so the identity is uncertain.2013-05-14May 13 20132013-05-13
