July 13 20162016-07-13A photograph of a ritual blessing in warm red-orange light. A woman in an orange-red sari with a beaded necklace and gold earrings holds her hands on the head of a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a name badge on his chest. He has his eyes closed and hands raised near his head. Behind them, another man in white watches, and a red curtain hangs at right. No a person candidate is clearly visible; the figures are a priestess-like giver and a devotee receiving blessing.2012-07-20April 24 20172017-04-24February 21 20152015-02-21July 14 20162016-07-14July 06 20132013-07-06July 15 20132013-07-15A seated man in a rust-orange robe with a rudraksha mala around his neck extends his right arm to touch the forehead of a man in white kurta, whose palms are raised in reverence. The seated figure has a white vibhuti mark and hair tied back in a bun, and is shirtless beneath the orange wrap. Behind them a woman in white with a dark rudraksha mala and white forehead mark sits watching, with another woman in white on the right and devotees in white in the background, plus green foliage and a fan. The setting appears to be a satsang or blessing ritual. The orange-robed figure shows no distinctive a person cues strong enough to qualify, so his identity is uncertain.2015-02-19 +1 copiesA photograph of a long-haired figure in an orange-brown saffron wrap with a rudraksha mala placing a hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta. The seated figure, whose long swept-back hair and rudraksha beads are visible, is blessing the standing devotee, who has his palms pressed together and eyes lowered. Behind them are marigold and red garlands, a gold-draped table and a deity murti. Another seated man in white with a rudraksha mala and a bearded man at the right edge are visible. Appearance-based label: a person, giving blessing to a devotee during a darshan.2013-07-06July 21 20132013-07-21A seated figure in an orange-brown saffron wrap with a gold-edged border and a rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders and in the hair blesses a man in a white t-shirt with a red lanyard, placing a palm on his forehead while he stands with eyes closed and hands pressed together. Behind them, an older man in white dhoti and shawl with a gold border and rudraksha beads sits watching, and several people in white stand in the background near a window. Garlands of flowers and colourful decorations appear at the left edge. The seated figure has long hair and distinctive orange-saffron clothing with rudraksha adornments, a visible cue for the a person candidate in this blessing scene, though the appearance is only partially clear.2013-07-03April 24 20172017-04-24
