A small gold deity murti stands in the foreground, and several people in white and cream ritual clothing are visible behind them. The setting appears to be a temple or ritual hall with a golden pillar. The long-haired man with rudraksha adornments and saffron clothing matches the appearance-based cues for a person, shown in person giving a blessing. Several bystanders stand behind, and a photographer is visible at the top left.2017-07-07Jun 25 2017July 07 20172017-07-07Photo 11714943A photograph of a bare-chested man with long dreadlocks and a white vertical tilak on his forehead placing his right hand on the head of a young boy. The man wears an orange-red cloth, layered gold-beaded necklaces, a bracelet and armband of coral-coloured beads, and gold earrings. The boy, with short dark hair, wears an orange shawl, a rudraksha-style bead mala, and a gold wristwatch, and is bowing his head forward. Behind them stands a golden deity murti with a crown, and a golden kalasha-style vessel is partly visible. Painted figures in orange and white robes appear on a backdrop behind them. The man appears to be a probable Swamiji based on long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces, orange clothing and rudraksha-style beads, shown in a blessing gesture to the boy.2017-07-07 +1 copiesA young man with short dark hair and a trimmed beard stands bare-chested, wearing an orange shawl printed with Sanskrit text, and smiles while a priest raises a hand to his head.
