A bare-chested man in white dhoti with a red sash bends forward at the waist while another person's hand, wearing gold and beaded bangles, rests on his head in a blessing gesture. He wears a white cord and a gold pendant, and has white ash marks on his chest and forehead. Behind them, two men stand in white dhotis, one with a red-and-white cord around his neck and sandalwood or vibhuti marks on his forehead. The setting is a dim interior with greenery at the left edge.2016-09-09A night-time blessing scene on a raised platform. A man in a red-brown dhoti with a long beaded mala and gold ornaments stands with his palm on the head of a bare-chested devotee bowing forward, whose white sacred ash shows on his forehead. A silver-ornate chair with red cushion sits behind them. A figure in white with rudraksha beads and an orange-clad attendant stand at the left edge.
