Indoor photograph of a darshan moment in a plain room with peach walls and a dark blue curtain at left. A man with long hair swept back in a bun, wearing a saffron-orange shawl over his shoulder and a long rudraksha mala, extends his right arm and touches the face of a second person. That person, in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and grey hair, raises both hands toward the man's face. The man wearing orange and rudraksha has long hair and distinctive saffron clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in the foreground in an active role, giving darshan to the devotee in white.2011-07-02October 08 20122012-10-08July 01 20132013-07-01October 11 20122012-10-11October 11 20122012-10-11December 16 20122012-12-16Photograph of a shaved-head... no: a man with hair tied in a topknot and a white vertical tilak on his forehead stands at left, wearing an orange-saffron shawl draped over one shoulder and a wrap around his waist, with multiple rudraksha malas with silver beads and a gold necklace. He places his right hand on the crown of the head of a seated-to-standing devotee at right, who wears a white kurta, rudraksha mala, and an orange-lanyard identity badge, with palms raised in a gesture of receiving blessing and eyes closed. Behind them, a bald man in saffron clothing sits, and a red curtain hangs on the right wall. The setting appears to be an indoor ashram hall with plain white walls.2012-10-11 +1 copiesA close side-profile photograph of a saffron-robed figure with hair tied in a bun and multiple rudraksha beads around the neck, holding both palms just above the forehead of a short-haired man in a white shirt who faces him with eyes closed and arms outstretched. The gesture appears to be a blessing or energy transmission. The background is blurred with a maroon curtain and pale walls. Appearance cues are limited to a bun, rudraksha and orange robe, so identity is uncertain.2011-11-20November 26 20112011-11-26A photograph of a ritual blessing indoors. On the right, a man with dark hair tied in a bun wears an orange saffron shawl with gold border and bare upper body; he holds a small white card or paper in one hand and places his other hand on the head of a man on the left. The man on the left wears a white kurta, a rudraksha mala, and raises his palm in a gesture of acceptance with eyes lowered. A blurred figure in orange robes stands in the background. A red curtain and a white cylindrical fixture appear behind them.2011-09-03 +1 copiesOctober 11 20122012-10-11A photograph of a ritual blessing.
