Indoor satsang setting with a man in a long-sleeved white kurta and dark-rimmed glasses standing with palms pressed together in anjali, a rudraksha mala around his neck. Beside him, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala, a silver-and-gold pendant, and multiple beaded bracelets; he holds a handwritten sheet of paper near his face while reading. Maroon drapes with orange tassels and a lit oil lamp are behind them, with other people softly blurred in the background.2013-01-16July 19 20122012-07-19July 19 20122012-07-19July 19 20122012-07-19January 02 20132013-01-02A photograph of a ritual exchange in front of a red curtain. On the right, a bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha beads and bells over his shoulder, and a saffron wrap holds a folded white paper while looking down at it. Facing him on the left, a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl raises both palms upward. Behind them, a man in saffron clothing with a tilak sits among other seated devotees near a metal plate.2012-07-19September 07 20122012-09-07A photograph of an intimate blessing moment in front of a red draped cloth. A bare-chested figure with dark hair in a topknot, wearing a saffron/orange shawl, gold ornaments and a gold-toned necklace, rests one hand on the forehead of a fair-haired man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala, who holds his palm up and a folded paper in the other hand. A bearded orange-robed person and another seated figure appear faintly in the background. The top-left corner shows a small logo. a person is indicated by the saffron clothing, ornate gold jewellery and topknot cues of the blessing figure, not by the face.2012-07-09A photograph of a seated man in white kurta-style clothing with eyes closed and hands raised in a receptive gesture, receiving a blessing as another man places a hand on his forehead. The blessing-giver has long dark hair swept back, a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulder and bare chest, a rudraksha bracelet and arm band, a row of metal bells hanging across his chest, and a sheet of paper in his other hand. A red curtain and dim red lighting form the background, with other seated people visible behind. The appearance is consistent with the a person label on this page, given the long hair, saffron cloth and rudraksha adornment, though the face is not clearly visible enough to confirm identity; the blessing-giver is a teacher figure performing a satsang-style blessing.2012-07-19A man in a plain white kurta with a short-cropped hairstyle stands with his palms raised while a bare-chested, long-haired bearded figure presses his fingers to the man's forehead in a blessing. The blessing figure wears a pink and white flower garland and a brown-orange cloth around the waist. Behind them, several men in saffron-orange robes with beaded necklaces and white forehead bands stand in a hall with a red curtain, and a white-clad man stands in the background. A ceremonial gold-trimmed object appears at the right edge.2017-02-27A photograph of two men in close, intimate contact.

The left man has short brown hair, stubble, a white shirt and a red-and-orange patterned shawl, with his hands raised in an animated gesture. A tall silver staff with small brass bells hangs at the right edge, with a warm reddish backdrop. The right figure has distinctive long hair, rudraksha beads and ochre adornments, a person candidate.2016-07-04October 08 20122012-10-08
