A close photo of a man with closed eyes seated and receiving a blessing: a hand rests on his forehead from the right. He wears a white collared shirt, a rudraksha mala hangs at his neck, and he appears damp with water on his face. Behind him, out of focus, are strings of orange and red beads and an orange cloth. A second person is partly visible at the left edge. No a person candidate is visible; the scene is a devotee receiving a forehead blessing during a ritual.2011-02-27December 22 20172017-12-22March 03 20172017-03-03December 21 20162016-12-21April 06 20122012-04-06June 27 20162016-06-27A photograph of a seated devotee in a white kurta with a red rudraksha mala and a red-and-white tilak on his forehead, looking down with a smile as he holds out cupped hands.

The blessing gesture suggests a darshan-style exchange; Swamiji (probable) cues: ornate gold and green beaded necklace, saffron cloth, and the swept-back hair style with gold earring, paired with the officiant role of the blessing figure. The man receiving the blessing has closed eyes and a moustache.2012-08-21 +1 copiesMarch 04 20132013-03-04Close photo of a man with short greying hair and a moustache, wearing a rudraksha mala and a saffron shawl printed with script, receiving a blessing as another man presses the palm of his hand to his forehead.
