December 31 20132013-12-31 +2 copiesA seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a beaded rudraksha-style mala draped over the shoulder touches the forehead of a young boy in a navy long-sleeved shirt and plaid shorts. The boy holds a red apple. To the right, a smiling woman in an orange kurta with a red-beaded necklace and red bangles watches. Behind them, a woman in a white and gold-bordered sari stands in the background, and red apples sit on a table draped with purple cloth. The seated figure's identity is not established by the image, so the role is given as a priest-like giver of blessing.2013-12-31May 28 20132013-05-28A photograph of a domestic gathering indoors on a pale marble floor. In the foreground, a figure seated on the floor with long dark hair, a white flower garland, and a saffron-orange sleeveless top, seen from behind, faces the children. A girl in a maroon embroidered top and red skirt extends her hands to receive a red apple from the seated figure. Behind her, a woman in a purple blouse and cream sari with a red bindi stands with her hand on the girl's shoulder. A younger girl in a white embellished dress stands nearby, and several adults in saris and shirts stand with hands folded in the background.2010-02-17July 06 20142014-07-06A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-brown shawl and a multi-coloured bead garland, extending a hand to rest on the head of a young boy in a striped navy and white polo shirt. Behind them, a man in a white dhoti with a red-gold border and a forehead tilak stands watching, and a woman in an orange sari with a red bindi and beaded necklace observes with a smile. Another person in a white dhoti and gold-bordered cloth sits beside the figure, and a bald man in orange in the lower right has a white paste mark on his head. Several more people in white and teal clothing stand in the background before red drapes. This appears to be a blessing or head-touching moment during a gathering, with the seated figure presenting the blessing, lightly indicated by the hand gesture.2013-05-12A 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.2013-12-20May 28 20132013-05-28 +1 copiesJuly 16 20132013-07-16A seated figure in an orange-saffron garment with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace places a hand on the head of a young boy in a red-and-navy striped shirt, who bows forward.

The boy wears a striped yellow, pink and white t-shirt and a dark beaded mala. Behind them, a woman in a green sari, another woman in red and orange, a woman carrying a child and a woman in a red kurta watch. Swamiji appearance is a probable candidate based on long hair, saffron robes and garland cues, seated in the ceremonial blessing role.2013-05-28
