A seated figure with long dark hair wearing a saffron-orange draped garment and a red and yellow flower garland touches the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl and a lanyard badge. The seated figure has his arm raised in blessing while smiling. Behind them, women in orange and gold-bordered saris and a woman in a white and green saree with beaded necklaces watch; an orange cloth and red-trimmed item rest on a table. Maroon curtains frame the room. Appearance cues are consistent with a person giving blessing to a devotee, so a person is set to in_person. Visible people total about six.2013-05-28A photo of a seated long-haired figure in a rust-orange draped robe with a red and yellow flower garland, leaning forward and raising both arms to meet the raised palms of a man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl and an event lanyard. Behind them, a woman in an orange sari with a gold trim and a white-and-gold sari stand near a hall; a red-and-gold cushion and a dark maroon drape frame the scene. The seated figure is marked as a person by long swept-back hair, an orange robe and a flower garland; the appearance cues are moderately clear, so this is an appearance-based label only. The man in white and the two standing women are devotees attending the event.2013-05-28A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange draped robe with a rudraksha-style beaded necklace and gold earrings, extending a palm toward a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl who raises his palms in reverence. Behind them red drapes hang, and a woman in white and other seated devotees are visible.

A flower arrangement sits at the left edge.2012-07-11A seated figure in an orange-brown robe with long hair, a rudraksha mala and a wrap over the shoulder presses his right palm to the forehead of a kneeling man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a small red flower pinned at the chest. The kneeling man tilts his head back with eyes closed while their hands clasp together. Behind them, a few devotees in white and saffron sit in a hall with a red curtain, a speaker on the wall and an orange cloth on a dark red chair, with a golden ritual object in the foreground. The orange-robed figure has distinctive long hair, rudraksha and saffron clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji in person giving a blessing (anugraha) to a devotee.2013-05-24May 19 20132013-05-19A seated man with long, swept-back black hair wears an orange-saffron wrap over bare shoulders and a heavy necklace of brown rudraksha beads with gold spacers. He extends one arm toward a kneeling devotee in a white polo shirt and a rudraksha mala, who raises both hands in a blessing gesture toward him and has a white vertical forehead mark. Behind them, a woman in an orange sari with yellow border stands near red curtains, and other attendees in white and red clothing sit in the hall. The setting appears to be a satsang gathering with a ceremonial blessing.2013-07-03A seated man in orange-brown robes with long dark hair and a rudraksha-style bead necklace smiles as he extends his hand to bless a standing devotee's forehead. The devotee, an older man with short grey hair, wears a white shirt, an orange-red cloth around the waist and a rudraksha mala, and returns the gesture with his palm raised. The seated man is seated on a maroon velvet chair beside a tray of offerings. A third man in white dhoti with a yellow-bordered cloth and bead necklace sits in the background beside an air cooler. Maroon curtains and white walls form the backdrop of an indoor satsang hall. The seated figure matches the page's Swamiji cues: long hair, saffron-orange robes and a bead necklace, so this is a probable in-person Swamiji with a devotee; the page's Swamiji flag is yes.2013-05-24May 28 20132013-05-28A seated long-haired figure in an orange-brown robe with a rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders reaches out to touch the forehead of a standing devotee in a white shirt with an orange lanyard, who has his palms pressed together. The seated figure sits on a maroon cushioned seat with an orange cloth beside it, and a tray of sweets lies at the lower left. Behind them, other devotees in white dhotis and orange or red shawls watch, one holding a rudraksha mala, with a red curtain and a white air conditioner in the background. The gesture appears to be a blessing or darshan. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, an orange robe and a rudraksha mala, cues consistent with the page's claim that he is present.2013-05-24July 16 20132013-07-16May 28 20132013-05-28May 13 20132013-05-13 +1 copies
