A bald man in a white kurta with a lanyard stands bowed, his head touched by the raised right palm of a seated figure in a rust-orange sari-style garment with a gold border and a long rudraksha-style mala of brown beads. The seated figure holds a printed sheet of paper in the left hand. Gold ornate decorations and a gold-coloured shrine or throne are visible in the foreground, with a warm wall and a blurred screen behind. Two people are visible, the seated figure and the standing devotee, with a partially visible third person at the right edge.2013-12-10A young man in a white striped shirt with raised hands receives a blessing as a figure in a rust-orange garment presses a palm to his forehead. The blessing-giver has long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and beaded bracelets, and holds a sheet of paper. Behind them, a seated man in white with a rudraksha mala and a bearded man in white stand near a floral garland and a red curtain, with a standing person in saffron-orange robes and a white-clad figure further back. A warm glow of lamps appears at the right edge. The blessing-giver may be a person based on long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-orange clothing, though the face is not visible.2013-07-10A seated man with long dark hair tied up, wearing a rust-orange robe with gold trim and a rudraksha mala, places his right hand on the forehead of a bald older man in a white robe with an orange shawl. The seated man holds a rolled white cloth in his other hand. Behind them, a framed portrait and a golden garland, with other people in white and orange clothing in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, orange robes, gold trim and rudraksha beads, matching the ceremonial presentation of the event page. The bald man kneels and receives the blessing.2014-03-23A photograph of a long-haired man in a saffron-and-gold wrap with a rudraksha mala touching the forehead of a bald man in white clothes and an orange shawl, both smiling with raised hands. Behind them, several people in white and orange sit on a red mat before red drapes and an ornate golden deity murti, with a bundle of sticks held near the frame. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation exchange. The long-haired man with ornate cues matches the in-person candidate on the page, though identity is uncertain from appearance.2015-07-19March 03 20152015-03-03May 04 20172017-05-04A photograph of an indoor gathering in a bright hall with ceiling lights and framed pictures on the wall. In the centre, a man in a cream turban and a maroon-red cloth, wearing layered rudraksha malas and gold ornaments, raises his right hand over the head of a bald man in a white dhoti and white shoulder cloth who bows with hands pressed together. Onlookers stand around, including a man in a striped grey shirt holding the bowing man's arm, a man in white with a yellow border at right, and a figure in an orange garment behind.2011-12-29A photograph of an indoor blessing moment. A person with hair in a bun and rudraksha mala beads, wearing a red-maroon wrap with gold trim, reaches to place one hand on the bald head of a man in a white shirt whose eyes are closed. The giver holds a folded white card in the other hand. Behind them are a brass lamp and dark curtains. The giver's appearance is consistent with a sannyasi role, but the face and presentation are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the a person field is unsure.2011-07-18July 17 20152015-07-17
