A bare-chested man in a saffron-orange shawl with a long swept-back hair bun, gold necklace and rudraksha mala stands at right, his palm pressed on the forehead of a curly-haired man in a white patterned kurta who keeps his eyes closed. A saffron-robed attendant with a rudraksha mala and orange cloth stands behind, watching.

A bare-chested figure with long dark hair and a rudraksha bracelet and arm band, wearing bells on a shoulder ornament and an orange-and-gold cloth, presses a palm to the forehead of an older man with closed eyes. The man wears an orange shawl over a navy jacket, with a rudraksha mala, a steel wristwatch and hands pressed together in namaste. Another person in a white shirt is partly visible behind them. The figure's ornamentation and hair are distinctive, but the appearance is not reliably identifiable as a person, so the role is given as a ritual blessing performer receiving a devotee.2012-07-19A photograph of an indoor satsang or darshan with red-draped walls and warm red lighting.
