The recipient has eyes closed and hands raised in a blessing gesture. A gold deity figure and orange drapery stand at left. In the background, a woman in white and a seated woman in white watch the blessing.2011-12-05December 05 20112011-12-05 +1 copiesMarch 06 20142014-03-06A seated person with long dark hair pulled back, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over the shoulder and a rust-coloured rudraksha mala, reaches forward to touch the forehead of a kneeling man in a white kurta with a red cord around his neck. The kneeling man raises his palms in an anjali-like gesture while being blessed. A standing figure in an orange and gold shawl with a mala is partly visible at the right edge, and a white wall fan and window frame are in the background. The setting appears to be an indoor ashram hall during a blessing or darshan moment.2013-07-01December 05 20112011-12-05March 07 20142014-03-07A seated man with long swept-back hair, a white vibhuti marking on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and orange-saffron cloth sits on a gold-framed throne in a temple-like hall. Facing him, a bearded man in a white kurta raises both hands in a blessing or pranam gesture toward the seated man's head. Behind them, a deity murti is decorated with red flower garlands and a purple cloth, with red drapery and gold pillars. A standing man in white dhoti and shirt watches at right. The seated man's distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala make him a probable Swamiji in person.2013-09-28March 26th 20142014-03-26A photograph of a diksha-style blessing in an indoor hall. A man with a shaved head and a tilak mark on his forehead wears a crimson and gold robe, rudraksha mala beads and gold bangles, and reaches forward with his right arm extended, palm open toward the head of a seated devotee. The devotee, in a white shirt with short dark hair, bows forward with his hands raised to his head to receive the blessing. Behind them a seated woman in white with a dark beaded mala watches calmly, and a partially visible man in white sits at the right edge. A brocade-patterned wall and a projection screen stand in the background, and a gold object is visible at the lower left. The blessing figure has a tilak and no clearly distinctive long hair or crown, so identity is uncertain.2014-01-05A photograph of a man with short dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, bare-chested under an orange-red shawl, and a gold ornate necklace, reaching out to place his hand on the head of a devotee. The devotee has long dark hair and wears a white kurta with a red shawl draped over the shoulders and an orange lanyard badge. Behind them, a red velvet backdrop and other people in orange robes and floral decorations are visible. The seated figure with the raised hand and gold necklace has distinctive ceremonial adornments, consistent with a person, giving a blessing to the devotee.2013-07-08March 07 20142014-03-07
