A man in an orange robe, with long swept-back dark hair and a dark rudraksha mala necklace, raises his right hand over a line of devotees and holds a gold-tipped ceremonial staff. In front of him, a shaved-headed monk in orange robes holds a large silver bowl. Devotees along a metal railing, several with palms pressed together in namaskar, lean forward to receive blessing. Men in striped shirts and a woman in a blue sari stand among them. The image is a photograph.2010-10-30April 27 20162016-04-27A photograph of a seated woman in a red shawl with embroidered motifs placing her right hand on the forehead of a young man in an orange t-shirt with hands folded in prayer. Beside them a woman in a cream and red sari and a red-brown beaded mala holds a plate with fruit, and a tray of offerings is also visible. A bald man with a white and orange garment stands in the background, along with several seated people in orange clothing. A white pillar and a red banner stand behind them. No one in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person by the cues required here, so no candidate is marked.2012-07-21July 25 20092009-07-25July 01 20142014-07-01A photograph of a darshan line under a tent canopy with metal trusses. A long-haired man in an orange saffron garment and rudraksha mala, with a bare upper body, holds a gold-tipped ceremonial staff and places his right hand on the head of a man in a striped green shirt. Beside him, a shaved-headed attendant in orange robes holds a polished silver tray.

A bearded man in a white kurta and orange shawl stands behind them, and a woman in white looks on from the background. A low white-covered bench holds a bamboo tray of banknotes, a steel tumbler and a gold-tipped walking stick. The setting is an indoor hall with windows, a striped floor mat and a blue-framed table. The seated figure's distinctive long hair and saffron robes are visible cues, but the identity is uncertain from appearance.2006-12-10July 10 20142014-07-10
