A bare-shouldered man in a red-orange cloth wrapped at the waist and a red headband with gold embroidery places his right palm on the forehead of a seated man in a white shirt with a red shawl around his neck, who has his hands folded in namaskar. The standing figure wears a long rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured forehead marking. A silver staff with a gold band and a golden lion-form object stand nearby, along with a dark feathered fan and an orange cloth on a stand. A few heads of other attendees are visible in the lower edge.2014-05-05A photograph of a bare-shouldered figure in a rust-orange turban with a silver emblem and orange-gold robes with a rudraksha mala draped over the chest, placing a hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl. Around them, seated and standing devotees wear white with orange shawls; a woman at right holds a microphone and a woman at lower left has a yellow tilak. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan in an indoor hall with beige walls and a red-draped seating area. The cues of the turbaned figure (rust turban, orange robes, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold chain) are distinctive, so this is a person.2015-10-21February 06 20162016-02-06A photograph of a seated figure in a red-orange turban and saffron-orange sannyasi robe with gold trim, wearing a reddish-brown rudraksha mala, reaching out to touch the forehead of a man in a white kurta with folded hands raised in devotion. A trident-topped staff stands beside the seated figure, and a gold ornamental object is in the foreground. Several women in white and cream saris and a woman in a red sari with a long mala watch from behind.2015-06-21October 21 20152015-10-21 +1 copiesA seated guru in an orange-red turban and red-and-gold shawl, wearing layered beaded rudraksha-style malas, places his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white t-shirt with his palms pressed together in namaste. The guru sits on a gilded throne-like seat with ornate gold carving, beside a red curtain and a small tray holding apples. A man in white ritual clothing with a red sash walks in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated guru wears an orange-red turban, layered malas and a red-and-gold shawl while receiving a devotee's respect from a throne, which is consistent with the page's reference to a darshan event.

Behind them is a red draped backdrop and an ornate gold throne-like chair edge. The seated figure's eyes are closed as he gives the blessing, a gesture consistent with darshan. Two people are visible.2015-10-25A photograph of two men in a richly decorated room with red drapes and gold-carved furniture.
