A photograph of a seated figure in a red-orange turban, orange-brown robe and a garland of white and orange flowers, receiving an offering from a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a red-brown bead necklace. The seated figure wears gold bangles and red-orange wrist bands and gestures with an outstretched hand toward a small orange cup or vessel held by the man. Behind them a bald attendant in orange-brown dhoti and cloth with rudraksha beads and a yellow forehead band sits near a standing woman in a white top and orange-brown shawl holding a small object. Gold ornate decorations are visible in the background. The setting appears to be a temple or ashram hall with red curtains.2015-05-14May 14 20152015-05-14May 14 20152015-05-14A seated figure in a saffron-orange turban, orange-and-gold robe and a long rudraksha mala with gold ornaments sits on a gold-carved throne, extending an apple toward a kneeling young man in a white shirt who holds his hands in anjali mudra. Standing behind them, a shaven-headed man with vibhuti on his forehead, glasses, an orange robe and rudraksha mala watches. In the background stand a brass oil lamp and a man in white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl. The seated figure's appearance (turban, ornate jewellery and ornate throne setting) is consistent with the a person candidate, presented as the giver of blessing prasad.2015-10-13A seated figure in a red-orange turban and bare-shouldered orange and gold garment wears a long white floral garland and a gold-beaded necklace, and rests his right hand on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt with palms pressed together in namaste.

A person in a maroon and gold turban, long dark-red sash with gold border, multiple flower garlands in orange and white, and gold bangles on the arm reaches forward to touch the forehead of a kneeling man in an orange shirt. Beside them a bald man with a yellow forehead mark and dark beads wears an orange-and-maroon wrap. A kneeling man in a white shirt with folded hands and glasses watches. In front, a tray holds oranges, bangles and folded cash. Behind, a gold deity murti stands in an ornate shrine area and a standing man in white and rudraksha beads is visible. Looks like a darshan blessing with abhishekam-style offerings.2015-05-14August 07th 20152015-08-07October 15 20152015-10-15A seated man in a rust-red turban with a gold brooch and a white and multicoloured flower garland is smiling as he hands a small gold object to a kneeling man in a white dhoti with an orange shawl and bare upper body. A woman in an orange sari and rudraksha mala stands behind them, and ornate red and gold cloth hangs in the background. The seated figure wears gold bangles and a rust-red sash, and the scene looks like a ritual exchange in a decorated hall. The seated man has long hair and distinctive ceremonial adornments, so this is a person in person, with the kneeling man as a devotee.2014-06-12
