December 03 20132013-12-03December 08 20132013-12-08A photo of two men at close range in a red-draped hall. On the left, a man with long dark hair in a bun, bare-shouldered and wearing an orange-red cloth with a gold chain necklace and a white tilak on his forehead, extends his right hand to touch the forehead of a bald man on the right, who wears a plain white kurta. Behind them is a golden deity murti or ornate figure, and a lit oil lamp hangs at the left edge. Bamboo screens and a partially visible seated figure appear in the background. A man in orange-red clothing giving a blessing with his palm on another's head suggests a darshan or blessing moment.2014-07-15A seated man with long dark hair tied in a bun wears a rust-red draped garment with gold border and a long braided white garland with a rudraksha-style mala at his neck. He reaches forward, placing his palm on the crown of a short-haired man in a white kurta with a dark beaded mala, who holds his hands together in a respectful gesture. A wooden staff with a carved top stands between them. Behind are a golden kalasha-like object, dark wall panels and a woman in white with green plants at the right edge. The seated man matches the page's described appearance cues (long swept hair, rudraksha-style mala, ceremonial garland) and is presumed to be a person, though this is an appearance-based inference only.2013-12-02A photograph of a seated man in rust-orange saffron robes with long swept-back hair and a red tilak on his forehead, smiling as he raises one hand to the head of a bare-chested young man in a white dhoti with a yellow-and-white sash. The seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, in front of deep red drapes. The kneeling devotee places his hand on the seated man's chest. a person (appearance-based label) is seated on the throne, giving a blessing to the devotee, consistent with a darshan moment.2017-07-14A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red draped robe with a gold-edged border and a long beaded necklace, his hair tied back, with a white vertical tilak on his forehead, placing his right palm on the forehead of a standing man with grey hair in a low ponytail. The recipient wears a white t-shirt, a rudraksha mala, and a small gold earring, and holds his left palm up in front of him with eyes closed. A silver staff is visible beside them and a golden figure stands behind the seated man, in a room with cream-coloured panelled walls. The seated man has distinctive long hair, ornate gold-toned adornments and a rudraksha mala, but the appearance cues are not sufficient to confirm the a person identity, so the role is given as a robed teacher blessing a devotee.2013-12-03A photograph of a man in a bare-chested red-and-gold dhoti-style garment with a rudraksha mala and a white tilak on his forehead placing his right hand on the head of a man in a white shirt with an orange-red shawl. The receiving man holds up his right palm in a gesture of reception. Behind them is a gilded ornate chair and a golden deity murti, with a framed portrait in the background and seated devotees at the edges. The scene suggests a blessing given in a hall setting.2014-03-11A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala draped across the chest, placing a hand on the forehead of a seated man in white ritual dress with an orange-red shawl. The robed figure is seated before golden lion-headed armrests and a silver-tipped staff, with a peacock-feather fan and a framed picture on the wall behind. The blessing gesture suggests a darshan or padapuja moment. Swamiji (probable) is the robed figure; the cues are the long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala, and the event page places him at this satsang. Two physical people are visible.2014-05-12February 09 20122012-02-09December 03 20132013-12-03May 09 20122012-05-09A seated man in a rust-orange and gold-bordered robe with a gold necklace and long swept-back hair extends his right arm to press his palm onto the forehead of a man in a white shirt with a wristwatch. A tilak marks the seated man's forehead. Behind them a woman in white with a rudraksha mala watches and smiles. Gold ornamental pieces sit in the foreground against a textured gold-brown wall. Swamiji (probable): the seated man shows long swept-back hair, an orange robe and a gold necklace, consistent with a giving-blessing or initiation moment.2014-01-04
