A seated figure in a maroon turban and maroon wrap, with a white and red flower garland and gold armlet, smiles while placing his right hand on the bald head of an older man kneeling in a white shirt and white dhoti with an orange shawl. The kneeling man has his palms joined and holds an orange in his hands. Nearby sit a potted green plant, rocks, and a row of yellow citrus fruits on the lower left. Behind them, a gold carved chair and a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala stand near red drapery. The scene reads as a blessing or honouring gesture, consistent with the satsang context. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a maroon turban, flower garland and gold armlet, matching the ceremonial cues.2015-04-25A seated figure in a maroon turban and maroon robe sits on an ornate golden throne, smiling and extending a hand toward a kneeling devotee. The seated figure wears a white and red flower garland, beaded necklaces, gold bangles and earrings, and holds a tall white ceremonial staff with a pointed tip. A man in a white shirt with an orange-brown shawl kneels with bowed head, hands cupped around an orange fruit. Oranges sit on the ground at lower left and rocks surround the scene. Green potted plants and a red draped background with garlanded deity-like decorations appear behind.2015-04-25April 26 20152015-04-26A seated man in a maroon-red turban and deep red-brown robe sits on a red velvet cushioned throne with ornate gold carved armrests. He wears a white and red flower garland, gold bangles on his upper arm and wrist, and a rudraksha-style red and gold necklace. He smiles while placing his right hand on the grey-haired head of an older man kneeling before him. The kneeling man wears a white shirt and a red beaded necklace and holds an orange fruit in his hand. Oranges sit on a tray in the foreground, with green potted plants and a red-draped background behind. The scene suggests a blessing given by the seated man to a devotee. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long-looking swept hair under a turban, ornate gold jewellery and a ceremonial garland on a throne, so he is labelled as a probable candidate.2015-04-25April 27 20152015-04-27June 12 20142014-06-12A photograph of a ritual blessing in a red-curtained hall. A figure in a rust-orange turban and orange-and-gold draped garment, with a white and yellow flower garland and rudraksha-style beads, places a hand on the head of a young man in a white shirt who kneels before him. Beside them a bald priest with yellow tilak on his forehead, wearing glasses, orange cloth and a brown rudraksha mala, sits attentively. Gold-coloured deity murti and a brass lamp are visible in the background, along with an orange fruit on a tray in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in the rust turban and flower garland with a shawl, receiving the devotee, is a candidate by appearance cues, shown here in person.2015-05-14 +1 copiesA seated figure in an orange-saffron turban and saffron robes, wearing a pink and white flower garland and gold bangles, rests one hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white polo shirt with blue collar, whose palms are pressed together in namaste.
