A photograph of a darshan moment in a golden-hued shrine setting. A long-haired man with a white forehead marking, wearing a rust-red garment, gold armlets, bangles and a pink lotus garland, reaches out to place his hand on the forehead of an elderly bald man in a white shirt who kneels with his palms raised. Golden ornate decor and warm orange light fill the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, ornate gold armlets and a pink lotus garland, and is giving blessing to a devotee, so he is identified as Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues alone. The elderly devotee in white is a devotee receiving blessing.2016-09-22October 09 20162016-10-09A seated bearded man in a rust-red robe with a long pink-and-white flower garland, rudraksha malas and a gold chain sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushioning. He smiles and extends his right arm to rest his hand on the head of a younger man in white clothes who stands at left with his hands folded. A person in white stands at right edge and another hand holds a small object at lower left. Stage lighting glows red behind the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears long swept-back hair, a crown-like gold throne setting, saffron-red robe, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event. The scene shows a blessing given from the throne.2017-04-05April 25 20172017-04-25April 25 20172017-04-25A bearded man with long dark hair and a white-and-red forehead marking smiles as he places his right hand on the head of a young man in a white shirt. The bearded man wears a rust-red robe, a dark rudraksha mala, a gold pendant necklace, and a double garland of pink lotus flowers with white beads. Warm red and gold stage backdrop behind them.2017-04-05May 11 20142014-05-11April 05 20172017-04-05A seated man in a maroon-red robe with a rudraksha mala and a garland of pale pink and white flowers sits on a large ornate gold throne with carved gold floral panels. He has long dark hair, a full beard and a red tilak mark on his forehead, and his eyes are half-closed in a smile. A younger man in a white dhoti with gold borders and bare upper body kneels in front with palms joined, while the seated man's right hand rests on his forehead in blessing. A tall gold trident stands to the left, and a red-orange LED backdrop glows behind the scene.2017-04-05April 25 20172017-04-25A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a pink and white flower garland, gold bangles and a dark garment, pressing his palm to the forehead of a smiling devotee in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl. Beside them a woman with dark hair in a white patterned top and red lanyard holds her head as a blessing is given. A gold-colored object is in the foreground and a woman in a white sari with red border stands in the background. The setting appears to be an indoor satsang or darshan with blessing, and the central figure's appearance is uncertain in relation to the page's reference to a person.2016-10-09April 05 20172017-04-05
