January 11 20132013-01-11A photograph of a man in a rust-orange wrap and a rudraksha mala with a white vibhuti mark on his forehead placing his right hand on the head of a man kneeling before him. The seated man has long dark hair pulled back, a swept-back style and rudraksha beads visible at his neck. The kneeling devotee, in a white collared shirt with a rudraksha mala, sits with palms pressed together in anjali, bowing his head. Gold draped fabric lies in the foreground and a seated figure in white is partly visible behind. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure giving the blessing, with cues including the rudraksha mala, orange ornamented wrap and swept-back hair, while the kneeling man is a devotee receiving darshan.2013-12-07A photograph of a satsang-style setting in which a long-haired figure in a rust-orange wrap and a red and white flower garland sits and places a hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt and orange-red shawl, who leans in with eyes closed. Behind them, several people in white and red shawls stand, and a woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala sits at lower right. Two lamps sit on the table-level surface at left.2013-05-28September 25 20132013-09-25May 28 20132013-05-28A standing man with hair tied in a bun and white tilak marks across his forehead wears a leopard-print sleeveless top and a long rudraksha mala, with a gold chain at his neck, and holds a folded white paper in his left hand while placing his right hand on the head of a seated man. The seated man wears a white shirt with an orange shawl over his shoulders and kneels with palms pressed together in prayer, as if receiving a blessing. Orange cloth is draped over the standing man's lap. Bald heads of other people are partly visible at the edges of the frame, and a photo credit overlay appears at the lower right.2013-03-06A seated man in a tiger-striped saffron-and-black wrap, wearing a long necklace of white beads and rudraksha malas, smiles warmly with a white tripundra mark on his forehead and hair tied in a bun at the back. Opposite him, a young man in a white short-sleeved shirt with a rudraksha mala and an ID badge sits with palms pressed together in namaste, leaning in toward him in respectful greeting. Behind them, a few people in white and red-curtained background stand watching, and a small candle or lamp sits at the lower left. The setting appears to be an indoor satsang hall with a red drape and a wall-mounted air conditioner.2013-01-11A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron cloth with a long rudraksha mala and a gold hoop earring, his right hand resting on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt whose palms are pressed together in namaskar. The kneeling man's eyes are closed, and a faint white mark shows on his forehead. Behind them, other people in white and orange stand in a warmly lit hall with yellow walls. The standing man's distinctive long hair, saffron garments and rudraksha cues are consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, and he appears to be giving blessing during a puja or darshan.2012-06-21April 25 20142014-04-25A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, bare-chested with a long dark hair knot and gold earrings, placing his hand on the forehead of a devotee kneeling in front of him. The devotee, wearing a white shirt and an orange shawl, has hands pressed together in anjali and bows his head. Another devotee in an orange shawl and white clothes sits beside them, and a red curtain hangs in the background. The figure with the knot and orange dhoti matches the page's a person cues, so this is a person blessing a devotee in a satsang or darshan setting; the blessing gesture is a head touch. Three people are visible, with others partially behind them.2012-07-09A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a yellow edge and an orange rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders, extending a hand to bless the forehead of a man kneeling before him. The seated figure has long dark hair pulled back and a white forehead marking; the kneeling man wears white clothing, a rudraksha mala, and a knitted orange-brown cap, and a white name badge is visible on his chest. Standing figures in white clothes watch in the background beside a pale wall and a fan. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in saffron robes with long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala, giving blessing to the devotee in a satsang-style setting.2013-07-01A seated teacher in a rust-orange robe with a long dark braid and a red and white flower garland touches the forehead of a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala. The teacher's hand is raised to the man's brow in a blessing gesture while the man holds his palm up. Behind them women in white sarees with red shawls stand and sit in a room with white walls and an air conditioner, and a woman in an orange saree with gold border and beaded mala watches at right. The seated teacher's cues include long hair, orange robe, flower garland and beaded ornaments, consistent with the page's Swamiji (probable) mention, but this is an appearance-based label only.2013-05-28
