July 08 20132013-07-08May 01 20142014-05-01A photograph of a ceremonial moment in a red-draped hall. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing saffron-orange clothing, a heavy rudraksha mala-style beaded necklace and many beaded bracelets and armlets, sits and holds a tall silver staff hung with small bells, while extending his other hand in blessing toward a smiling man in white kurta with an orange shawl who raises his palms in reverence. Two women in white and orange sit in the background. Appearance-based a person cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate beadwork, in a seated blessing role.2012-07-08May 27 20132013-05-27May 01 20142014-05-01A photograph of an indoor satsang setting. A figure with long dark hair tied back, wearing a tiger-striped yellow and black garment and layered rudraksha malas, sits on a low seat and reaches toward a bell-hung pole. Across from them, a bald man in a white shirt with a red shawl and a rudraksha mala raises his palm toward the bell pole. Behind them, red and yellow marigold garlands and colourful drapery decorate the background.2013-07-08A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, a saffron-orange robe and a large rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders touches the head of a shaven-headed man in a white kurta who raises both arms overhead in a blessing gesture. A peacock-feather fan and gold ornate seat are at left, and a silver trident stands behind them against a red-and-white striped wall. The seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, and is shown blessing a devotee.2014-08-26July 06 20132013-07-06A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold ceremonial necklace and a bare upper torso, smiling as he places his right hand on the forehead of a short-haired young man in white kurta and orange shawl. Behind them stand a tall silver-capped staff, gold-coloured ornamental lion-head and throne elements, and golden draped curtains. A peacock-feather fan appears at the left edge. Two physical people are visible.2014-07-14A photograph of a seated man with short dark hair and a red headband with gold patterning, bare-chested with a red wrap and a beaded necklace, smiling as he places his hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt and gold wristwatch who bows forward. A gold figure in the left foreground, a silver ceremonial staff and a peacock-feather fan are behind them, with a red-and-gold cloth backdrop. Several other people are partly visible at the right edge.2014-05-05A seated man with long dark hair coiled into a dreadlocked crown topped by a silver crescent ornament, a red-and-white tilak on his forehead, a bare-shouldered saffron and gold garment, and a thick rudraksha-style mala of brown beads. He gestures with raised open hands toward an older man in a white kurta and a silver wristwatch, who holds a long silver staff and raises his palms in blessing. A golden ornamental figure stands behind them against a beige wall panel. Probable Swamiji (probable) with long hair, crescent crown and saffron-gold clothing seated in conversation with the white-clad attendant. The scene resembles a ceremonial exchange during a sacred event.2013-12-04May 01 20142014-05-01
