A seated man in saffron-red robes, with a white vertical tilak on his forehead, a white and orange flower garland and a dark rudraksha mala with gold-toned beads, sits on a red zebra-patterned cushioned seat before an ornate gold throne backrest. He rests his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt who kneels before him holding a folded paper. A woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala and a white forehead mark sits to the right. Behind them are red wooden latticed screens and a wall-mounted fan. The scene resembles a blessing or darshan. The seated man is an appearance-based a person, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha beads and ceremonial gold-toned adornments.2014-09-21April 23 20182018-04-23A seated man in an orange-red turban and saffron robes with a gold-embellished border sits on an ornate gold throne, wearing layered beaded necklaces and a large gold pendant. He reaches forward with his right hand, smiling, to accept a small object from a kneeling man in a white shirt who leans in with cupped hands. Beside the throne a bald man with vertical orange tilak on his forehead, wearing glasses and orange robes with a gold necklace, sits attentively. Behind them stand gold lamps, a gold pillar and a red backdrop; a person in white with a red-beaded mala is partly visible at the right edge.2015-08-07 +1 copiesOctober 12 20142014-10-12July 24 20142014-07-24Photo of a seated ritual blessing indoors.

She stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them are a gold throne with a carved lion or peacock-feather element, a cobra-shaped staff, a silver ceremonial staff, and red drapes.
