A photo of a blessing moment. A long-haired man with a beard, bare-chested apart from an orange-red saffron wrap and a rudraksha mala around his neck, places his right hand on the forehead of an older, grey-haired man in a white shirt with a red sash. The older man bows with eyes closed and palms pressed together in anjali. Behind them a red curtain and a gold pillar; a younger man in white with a rudraksha mala stands at left.2016-07-14July 06 20132013-07-06July 10 20132013-07-10Indoor photograph of a seated woman with long dark hair, wearing a rust-brown wrap and a red and gold flower garland, extending her right hand to touch the forehead of a grey-haired older man in a white shirt with an orange-red sash at his waist.

Behind them, a seated woman in a white and gold sari with a beaded necklace and a man in an orange turban watch, and an orange pillow sits on the cushion.2013-05-28A seated figure in orange and gold-trimmed robes, with long dark hair and a strand of rudraksha beads with gold accents, places a palm on the forehead of a young man in a maroon kurta with a visitor badge. The young man holds his hands out in a gesture of receiving.

A seated figure in a rust-orange and gold-bordered wrap with a red-and-gold turban and a rudraksha mala gives a blessing, pressing his fingers to the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta with an orange shawl, whose eyes are closed and hands are folded in reverence. Behind them a seated priest in white with a gold-bordered cloth and a rudraksha mala watches, and two people stand in the background. The seated figure's shaved head is covered by the turban, and a gold-accented cushion is at the left, so the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm an identity.2013-11-07A photograph of an initiation moment in a temple-like hall.
