A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a carved lion-head armrest, wearing an orange-brown silk garment and a pink-beaded necklace, places one hand on the head of a bowing devotee in a pink long-sleeved kurta and white dhoti with a rudraksha mala. The devotee bends forward with hands joined, apparently receiving blessing in a padapuja-style darshan. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and orange robes stand watching, one smiling, and a woman in a white sari stands at left. A patterned carpet covers the floor, with a water bottle and paper at lower left.

December 29 20132013-12-29Photograph of a ritual blessing inside a temple-style hall with gold-painted decor and a gilded arch behind. A man in a red-orange turban and yellow-orange garment with a flower garland raises his hand to touch the head of a kneeling devotee in a pink shirt, who has his palms pressed together in greeting. A bald priest in an orange-red cloth and rudraksha malas leans in from the left. On the right, a man in a white dhoti with rudraksha bands on his arm stands beside them. Behind, a woman in white with a rudraksha mala and other people in white watch, with a red curtain and deity figures in the background. Whether the turbaned figure is a person cannot be determined from the image alone, so the identity is marked unsure.2015-11-01January 01 20142014-01-01A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long rudraksha-style gold and beaded necklace places his right hand on the head of a bald, bearded man kneeling in a brown-rose kurta with a rudraksha mala, who bows with palms joined. A young girl in a white dress with floral print bows forward beside them. Behind, women in white saris stand with palms pressed together in namaste, and a red tray holds apples and sweets near a purple-draped cushion. The seated figure's distinctive orange robe, long hair and ornate beads are visible cues, so Swamiji (probable) is shown giving blessing to a devotee in this darshan-style moment.2013-12-31 +1 copiesDecember 31 20132013-12-31 +1 copiesMay 07 20172017-05-07December 29 20132013-12-29December 31 20132013-12-31 +2 copiesA photograph of an indoor gathering where a long-haired man in saffron-orange cloth, with a white vibhuti mark on his forehead, gold earrings, orange beaded bracelets and a gold necklace, places his hand on the head of a shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron cloth wearing a rudraksha mala.

Behind them, a gold-carved throne and robed attendants stand; one wears an orange robe and forehead marks, another wears white with a gold border and a rudraksha mala, and a man in a white shirt holds his hands in anjali. A portion of a person photo caption reads as an archive image. The seated figure has distinctive turban, flower garland and gold ornamentation, but the appearance is not sufficiently clear to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role only as the person seated on the throne giving blessing.2014-01-01
