July 19 20152015-07-19 +1 copiesA photograph of a bare-chested man in an orange-and-gold turban and gold ear ornaments bowing his head while a grey-haired man in saffron-orange robes raises his hand above him, placing a red and pink flower garland over his turban. A second man with white beard and orange shawl stands at left in soft focus. A deep blue starry backdrop fills the stage. The bowing figure wears wooden beaded bracelets and a gold-trimmed orange cloth. The scene appears to be a blessing or initiation moment.2015-07-21A photograph of a padapuja-style blessing on a stage before a colourful temple-architecture backdrop. A seated man with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe, sits on an ornate gold throne-chair with carved gold details and a red cushion at its base, one hand raised to the head of a bowing man in an orange robe and white cord who wears glasses. A second man in an orange robe stands at the left with head bowed. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, ornate gold throne and orange robe are present, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm his identity, so he is described by role only.2010-02-10December 31 20092009-12-31May 22 20062006-05-22A photograph on a stage in front of an ornate gold throne with carved floral relief. A standing man in a bright orange robe and a light shawl with red stripes bends forward and rests his right hand on the head of a seated person. The seated person wears a rust-orange turban, a garland of pink and white flowers, a brown-and-gold garment and multiple bangles, and sits on a maroon cushion with bare feet. A microphone stand stands in front and green foliage is at the lower left. A purple backdrop sits behind. The bowing man has white hair and a white beard and wears glasses; the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role only. Two physical people are visible.2015-07-19A photograph of an indoor ritual moment in front of ornate orange-red upholstered thrones with gold carved arms. On the left, an older man with grey hair in an orange saffron robe places his right palm on the head of a younger man seated on the right. The seated man wears a reddish-brown dhoti and a yellow-edged shawl, has a light forehead mark, and wears a long rudraksha mala. He sits with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes lowered. Another person's hand is visible behind the standing figure.2015-09-14A photograph of an indoor ashram setting with white marble-tiled floor and wall. In the foreground a man with long dark hair kneels prostrate in a saffron-orange robe, his back bare, wearing a gold necklace. Facing him, an older bald man in a large orange-saffron shawl draped over his head and body kneels on a cushioned seat and places both hands on the prostrate man's back in blessing. Two standing men in white shirts and white trousers, one wearing a rosette ribbon, watch at the back left. A potted plant with pink flowers stands at the right. Two people are visible in the scene besides partial figures at the edge. The kneeling blessing figure has no clearly distinctive identifying cues beyond ordinary saffron robes, so identity is uncertain.2007-01-30January 18 20142014-01-18January 1st 2013A photograph of a seated figure in orange robes on an ornate gold-and-red throne, with a white vertical tilak on the forehead and long dark hair, raising one hand in blessing while smiling. In front of the throne, a second person in orange robes with hair tied up bends forward with hands extended toward the seated figure's feet, in a gesture of reverence. Orange drapes hang at the left edge against a plain white wall. Two people are visible. The seated figure's appearance is compatible with Swamiji (probable), given the long swept-back hair, saffron robes and tilak, and he is shown receiving reverence on a throne, so this is a depiction of Swamiji being honoured in person. A faint ' and '' appears at lower right2009-07-06February 15 20132013-02-15
