The seated figure holds an ornate silver trident-like staff, and beside them a coiled dark rope-like staff and a large gold vessel rest against red drapes. The scene looks like a blessing or initiation moment with a trident staff.2014-07-26A seated man in an orange-red dhoti-style garment with a long rudraksha-style bead garland and a white horizontal forehead band touches the forehead of a young man in white kurta with an orange-red shawl and a lanyard. The seated man extends his right arm, palm down, over the young man's head, while holding a folded white paper in his other hand. Behind them a golden cobra sculpture coils over a golden base, a silver trident stands upright, a peacock-feather fan is at left, and red curtains hang in the background. The scene reads as a blessing or initiation moment at a ceremony.2014-07-26February 07 20142014-02-07A 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.

A man with long dark hair, an orange-red cloth draped over his shoulder, a gold garland, and a yellow-orange forehead mark extends his right hand in blessing toward the bowed head of a short-haired man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl. The blessed man wears a wristwatch and glasses and presses his palm forward. The first man holds a small white paper slip in his left hand. Gold-coloured ritual objects and a gold deity murti are visible in the foreground, with a gold and beige backdrop behind them. The blessing gesture matches a padapuja-style darshan blessing.2014-08-02
