January 13 20152015-01-13Night-time photo of a blessing. A seated figure in an orange-red turban, orange and yellow shawl, and a long red and turquoise bead necklace places a hand on the crown of a grey-haired man in white kurta with a white head cloth. The man stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes lowered. A second man beside him wears a red-and-gold shawl, rudraksha mala and tilak, and rests a hand near his arm. Behind them, devotees in maroon and orange clothing stand near a striped white-and-red wall, with a gold figure and red cushions visible below. The seated figure's identity is not established by appearance, so the person is described by role as the officiant giving a blessing.2015-08-09April 29 20162016-04-29July 03 20142014-07-03April 29 20162016-04-29Night-time outdoor scene at a religious gathering.
