A photograph of a man in white kurta and white dhoti-style clothing with a rudraksha mala and a red lanyard reading Inner Awakening Nithyanandam, eyes closed, with a red tilak on his forehead. A hand rests on his head from behind. In front of him, a person in a bright orange sleeveless top and a hood-like cloth bends forward, looking down at a small white card or paper held in their hand. A small round pendant with a portrait hangs from the man's lanyard. Background is a plain pale wall and a dark red curtain at the right edge.2009-12-08A photograph of a devotee in a white shirt and brown rudraksha mala, with an ID badge and a gold pendant, eyes closed and smiling with raised open palms. Behind him a man in white with a red tilak on his forehead and an orange-and-white shawl touches the devotee's forehead. In the foreground, a person with long dark hair tied back wears an orange robe, seen from behind. Other people stand in the background of a hall. The scene resembles a blessing or darshan moment at a satsang.2010-08-19A close photograph of a man with closed eyes and one arm raised, receiving a forehead blessing. A second person's hand, wearing a red and black thread bracelet, presses a white marking onto his forehead. The man wears a white shirt and an orange shawl printed with black Sanskrit-style symbols, and a lanyard reading Inner Awakening hangs at his chest. The setting is a blurred indoor satsang with other people in white behind. No identifiable a person candidate is shown, so the recipient is described only by role as a devotee.2016-06-27A photo of a seated man with short grey hair, wearing a white collared shirt and a rudraksha mala with a pendant, receiving a forehead blessing. A hand with a red thread bracelet touches his brow between the eyebrows, while his own hands are raised palm-out in front of him. Behind him, a person in white with an orange-red shawl stands in a dim red-curtained hall. The scene resembles a darshan blessing during an initiation session.2017-08-03August 09 20172017-08-09 +1 copiesDecember 10 20092009-12-10Close photo of a man in a white kurta with a red lanyard and a small ID card, one hand raised with palm open and the other hand on top of his head, eyes lowered. In front of him a younger man in an orange sleeveless top bends forward, head bowed, holding a folded white paper with handwritten lines. The setting is an indoor hall with a plain dark background.2009-12-10A seated figure in an orange sleeveless robe with a long rudraksha mala and long swept-back dark hair leans forward while touching the crown of a standing man's head with one hand, holding a folded white card in the other. Swamiji (probable), with long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha beads, is the seated giver. The standing man wears a white kurta, a red rudraksha mala, a gold bracelet and has a short beard. Behind them a priest in white dhoti with a gold necklace and tilak stands, and a golden ornate throne with red upholstery is at right. Dark blue drapes form the backdrop.2010-10-19August 21 20122012-08-21 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange sleeveless garment with a long swept-back dark hairstyle and a multi-strand rudraksha mala, holding a small white paper and looking down while a hand reaches in from behind and rests on the forehead of a bearded man in white ritual clothes and a rudraksha mala. The bearded man has closed eyes and is receiving the blessing. A golden ornate pillar or throne edge is visible at right against a dark blue backdrop, and a blurred figure in orange stands in the background. The orange-clad man matches the page's Swamiji cues (long hair, saffron garb, rudraksha mala), so he is described as Swamiji (probable) receiving the role of blessing giver, with the white-clad man a devotee receiving the blessing.2010-10-19July 30 20172017-07-30 +1 copiesSeptember 20 20152015-09-20
