A photograph of a long-haired man in a saffron-orange sleeveless garment placing his right hand on the forehead of a younger man in white kurta with eyes closed and a faint smile. The younger man wears a white beaded necklace and a blue event badge on his chest; a second man stands partly visible at the right edge and a blue-and-yellow patterned cloth hangs behind. The orange-clad figure, with his swept-back dark hair and distinctive saffron garment, shows probable Swamiji appearance cues; he is performing a blessing, a forehead touch on a devotee at what appears to be an indoor gathering.2010-07-05A photograph of a man with closed eyes and short dark hair, wearing a white shirt with a dark rudraksha mala, receiving a blessing as another man in an orange-trimmed garment presses a hand to his forehead while holding the back of his neck. Behind them, people in white robes and orange stoles stand in a crowded hall, with a bangle and bracelet visible on the blessing hand. The scene suggests a gathering with blessing or initiation, with the wider crowd in white and orange.2007-02-24A photograph of an initiation or blessing moment in an ashram hall. A figure in saffron-orange robes, with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a white forehead marking, reaches up to touch the forehead of a man in a white kurta with his eyes closed and hands raised. Behind them a second man in white with a forehead marking sits with eyes lowered, and other people in white clothing stand in the background. A red cloth is visible at the lower left.2013-07-07November 05 20062006-11-05December 29 20092009-12-29July 07 20102010-07-07A photograph of an indoor blessing moment. A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with long dark swept-back hair leans forward and holds the hands of a standing man in a light blue-white shirt and dark trousers, who bows his head. A bald man in white robes with an orange-red shawl stands behind and places his hand on the seated figure's head-blessing gesture area. A woman with a braid in a white top and beaded bangles sits at left, and a man in a yellow garment stands behind. Background shows fans and a draped cloth. Appearance is consistent with the a person description; the seated figure carries orange clothing and long hair cues, but the page states no a person presence, so identity is uncertain.2010-07-07July 30 20062006-07-30December 13 20092009-12-13December 15 20092009-12-15July 20 20102010-07-20Photograph of a blessing scene indoors under a white draped canopy. A man in an orange sleeveless top with a pink and white flower garland around his neck places his hands on the forehead of a young man in a white and brown striped shirt, who has closed eyes and a vertical mark on his brow. A woman in white stands at left with her head bowed, and a man in a yellow garment and a rudraksha mala is partly visible behind. Other people stand at the edges, and a brass vessel with flowers sits at lower right. The orange-clad figure's back is to the camera, so his face is not visible and his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.2009-11-21
