A photograph of a long-haired man in orange robes seated on an orange-cushioned throne-like seat, touching the forehead of a kneeling man in a white collared shirt who bows with hands clasped. The seated figure wears a rudraksha mala and a red-orange tilak on his forehead, and a golden staff rests across his lap. Behind them is a large gilded urn-shaped vessel and a white marble statue of a saint wearing an orange head cloth, with yellow and red marigold garlands hanging from the altar and orange drapery at the top. A small bell and a brass lamp sit on the altar ledge.2010-07-07A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a red undershirt rests one hand on the head of a kneeling older man in a white shirt and white trousers, wearing glasses and a gold bracelet. The seated figure has long dark hair and a red mark on the forehead, and sits on a red and gold throne with a gold-embossed backdrop depicting a deity murti, with garlands of pink flowers at the top. The scene suggests a blessing being given, and the seated figure has a distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron robe and gold-embossed throne cues consistent with the page's a person reference, though identity is uncertain from appearance. The kneeling man receives the blessing with his head bowed and a small object held in his hand.2008-10-11A photograph of a long-haired man in flowing saffron-orange robes with a red bindi, seated on a white-covered dais before an ornate gold throne-back decorated with floral relief and a circular emblem.
