In the centre, a shaved-headed man in white ceremonial dhoti and shawl, wearing a thick gold necklace and a tilak on his forehead, sits on a carved wooden seat with eyes lowered. In the foreground, a blurred figure in orange-saffron garments and gold-toned ornaments gestures with raised hand over a low wooden platform with a bowl and offerings. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands at the left edge. A red-upholstered chair with gold trim appears at right, and a microphone stand is near the seated man. The seated man's appearance does not clearly match the a person cues, so his identity is left uncertain.2011-10-01February 08 20122012-02-08Photograph of an indoor ritual moment in front of a plain peach wall and a dark red curtain. A man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala around his neck raises both hands toward the head of a seated man in white dhoti and white shawl, with a red tilak on his forehead, silver armlets and bangles, and a silver staff with a finial held upright beside him. The seated man smiles and appears bare-chested above the shawl. A partially visible person in white sits at the left edge. The hands appear to be giving a blessing or touching the head in an act of honour. The seated figure's appearance shows a tilak, silver bracelets and armlets, and a silver staff, but these alone are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role only.2012-02-08December 31 20112011-12-31March 31 20122012-03-31
