A seated figure in a rust-red robe and a tall black swept-back hairstyle with a red bindi places both hands on the bald head of a man in a white shirt and orange shawl, who presses his palms together in devotion. The seated figure wears a multicoloured garland of red, blue and white beads, a rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, and sits on a leopard-print cushion before a gold throne with carved gilt panels. Behind them a standing person in white holds a microphone, and a garlanded deity murti with yellow and green flower garlands stands near ornate brass lamps. The page does not mention him at this event, so the presence is uncertain.2016-02-24March 01 20162016-03-01 +1 copiesA photograph of a bearded-free man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped in a leopard-print turban and a crescent-moon ornament, wearing an orange-saffron cloth and multiple rudraksha mala necklaces, seated on a red cushioned throne. He smiles while placing his right palm on the forehead of a shaved-headed devotee in a white kurta with an orange shawl. A red thread is tied on the devotee's wrist, a red tilak is on the seated man's forehead, and a brass vessel with an ornate silver item appears in the lower foreground against a dark, warmly lit stage backdrop.2017-08-10September 28 20142014-09-28A man with long dreadlocked hair, wearing a rust-brown draped garment and a thick red-and-white flower garland, sits on a leopard-print seat and presses his right palm to the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala. The dreadlocked figure is an appearance-based a person candidate: long dreadlocked hair, a flower garland and a rust-brown garment. Behind them a gold-and-silver deity murti and silver ceremonial stand are decorated with red, pink and purple garlands. A woman in orange with a rudraksha mala stands beside the blessing, and a few devotees are visible in the background, including a woman in blue and another in white.2018-04-23February 24 20162016-02-24A seated figure in a black turban, red-brown robe and a multicolour beaded garland of red, blue and white beads with a gold pendant places one hand on the forehead of a young man with short dark hair in a white shirt and orange shawl, who raises his palm. The seated figure sits on a leopard-print cushion in front of an ornate gold throne. Behind them, a brass oil lamp, a flower-garlanded backdrop, and an older woman with glasses and another woman in red garments stand near the altar. A man in an orange turban smiles at the right edge in a printed image. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation moment in an ashram setting.2016-02-24February 24 20162016-02-24A seated man in an ornate red and gold throne with a leopard-print turban and long dreadlocks wears rudraksha malas and an orange-brown dhoti-style garment, with a red tilak on his forehead and a crescent ornament on his head, smiling as he places both hands on the head of a kneeling devotee in a white shirt with curly hair. A woman in a brown garment with rudraksha beads stands at the right edge. The dark stage background has warm orange lighting behind the throne. The seated man has distinctive long dreadlocks, a crescent ornament, rudraksha malas and orange-saffron clothing, consistent with the page's reference to a person; this is an appearance-based candidate and the identification is probable. The kneeling devotee receives a blessing from him.2017-08-10April 08 20172017-04-08A photograph of a ceremony on a stage. A long-haired man with a white forehead marking and a red tilak, wearing a rust-red shawl over his bare shoulders and a beaded necklace, leans forward and presses his hand on the forehead of a kneeling devotee in a beige patterned shirt and rudraksha mala. The seated man holds a small card in his other hand near the devotee's head. Behind them stand a golden deity murti, a bare-chested attendant in red cloth, and a dark-haired person in red garlands. Leopard-print cushions and a floral garland backdrop frame the scene.2018-04-25 +1 copiesApril 20 20172017-04-20
