A seated figure in an orange saffron turban and orange robes sits on an ornate cream upholstered throne with carved black wooden arms, wearing a long green leafy garland with red flowers. He rests one hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and dark trousers whose palms are pressed together in namaskar. A second man in orange clothing stands at the left edge, and a white-clad figure is partly visible on the far left. Behind is a painted backdrop of large green banyan-like trees. A metal tray of fruit sits at the right. The figure matches the Swamiji cues of orange turban and saffron robes, with the page citing him at this event, so this is a probable in-person depiction of Swamiji giving blessings.2010-08-07August 07 20102010-08-07A photograph of a seated man in an orange turban, orange shawl and red and yellow marigold garland placing his right hand on the head of a man in a white shirt, who faces away from the camera. The seated man wears a red tilak mark and a gold ornament on his turban, and his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Another hand rests on the white-shirted man's shoulder. Red and pink string lights and a floral arrangement frame the scene. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in orange turban, orange shawl, rudraksha-style red beaded garland and long swept-back hair, giving a blessing.2012-03-30A photograph of a blessing moment indoors on a green floor scattered with petals. A long-haired figure with bare upper torso, wearing an orange shawl and a white and orange flower garland, extends a hand to press the forehead of a young boy in white kurta with an orange shawl and a black mala. The boy keeps his eyes closed and head bowed. Striped red bedding and a tripod stand sit in the background, and a man in white with an orange cloth is partly visible at the top right.2006-06-04May 09 20042004-05-09March 30 20122012-03-30A photograph of an indoor ceremony. A smiling man with long dark hair, a red tilak mark on his forehead, wearing an orange saffron shawl over bare shoulders and a white and pink flower garland, places his right palm on the head of a young boy in a white collared shirt who bows forward. Behind them a red curtain hangs, a second man in orange cloth is partly visible, and palm fronds and white cloth are visible in the background. The man in orange with long hair and garland is a probable Swamiji candidate based on the long swept hair, saffron clothing, garland and bare-shouldered adornment, shown blessing the boy in a darshan setting.2006-10-21 +1 copiesA photo of a blessing moment at an indoor event. A seated figure in an orange turban, orange shawl with gold borders and a red-and-yellow flower garland stretches an arm forward and places a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt, who has his palm raised. A man in white and a second man in white with a rudraksha mala appear behind. Orange and pink lights and white flowers decorate the background. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and bare-chested ornate orange dress with a gold-trimmed shawl, consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues and a blessing role, so the appearance is a plausible in-person match.2012-03-30A seated figure in a red-orange turban and saffron-orange robe, with a white and orange flower garland and orange beaded bracelets, places his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt who holds an orange fruit. Behind them stand women in white and floral saris, one wearing a long beaded necklace. A wooden tray of oranges sits in the foreground. The seated figure's clothing and turban resemble the saffron-clad appearance associated with the page, though the appearance is only partly distinctive, so the identity is uncertain.2015-06-07A photograph of a man in an orange saffron robe with a long white and pink-purple flower garland sitting and placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt who kneels before him, bowing forward. The man has long, swept-back dark hair, bare chest, and is smiling. A second seated man in an orange shawl and white garment sits behind the boy. White drapes and a red curtain appear in the background, with a white fan and potted plant at right. The man in orange has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and a garland, consistent with the a person cues, shown giving a blessing to a devotee in what appears to be an ashram hall.2006-10-21August 09 20152015-08-09December 17 20112011-12-17
