In the foreground, a seated figure in a rust-orange wrap, rudraksha mala and gold bangles extends a hand as an elderly man in a white shirt and grey trousers bows low to touch it. Behind them, a bald priest in a saffron-brown dhoti with a white-and-gold beaded necklace stands near a golden staff, while women in cream and green saris and headscarves look on. A pale-yellow sari wearer with a rudraksha mala raises a finger to her lips. Several other people stand in the background. The seated figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone; the scene is darshan with pada-puja-style respect.2015-10-26July 10 20162016-07-10June 18 20152015-06-18May 27 20152015-05-27May 16 20152015-05-16August 22 20152015-08-22June 28 20162016-06-28October 16 20152015-10-16Photograph of a darshan blessing indoors in a white-walled hall with a red curtain and standing fans. A seated figure in an orange-brown wrap and striped reddish-gold turban places his right hand on the forehead of an older man with white hair and beard, who wears a white shirt and a rudraksha mala and keeps his eyes closed with hands raised. Behind them a seated man in white with a rudraksha mala looks on, a man in white stands in the background, and a younger man in white with a rudraksha mala sits at the right edge. The seated blessing figure has long dark hair tied up and a bead necklace; he is a person by appearance, bearing a turban and ornate orange clothing, but this is uncertain.2013-11-06A seated figure in a rust-orange robe and matching orange turban sits on a red cushioned seat beside ornate gold lamps, extending a hand to rest on the head of a kneeling older man in an orange robe and orange turban with a rudraksha mala. The seated figure wears gold bangles and a beaded necklace, and holds a red fruit. A woman in a cream sari with a red border and a long rudraksha mala stands behind them, hands together. Another person's hand holding a red fruit is visible at the bottom edge. The scene suggests a blessing or padapuja-style honouring. a person candidate cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the seated figure is described by role only.2015-11-04
