Dark burgundy drapery forms the background.2011-12-11October 19 20082008-10-19December 26 20142014-12-26December 26 20142014-12-26Photo of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, placing a hand on the forehead of an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti-style trousers with a rudraksha-style mala.
