Close-up photograph of a man with dark curly hair, a thin moustache and a rudraksha mala of reddish-brown beads around his neck, eyes closed and head tilted back. A hand with a red thread bracelet presses on his forehead in a blessing or initiation gesture, while his own hands are raised palm-outward beside his face. Pink-red stage lighting and blurred figures in white and orange clothing stand behind him. Appearance cues suggest a person receiving darshan, though identity is not certain from the image alone.2018-05-04December 01 20112011-12-01November 26 20112011-11-26November 26 20112011-11-26A kneeling devotee in an orange-peach shirt with a rudraksha mala and a green-and-beaded pendant has palms pressed together, eyes closed, and a red tilak mark on the forehead.

Behind them, several people in white and cream clothing stand, and a microphone is visible at left. A thin incense stick is held between the devotee's hands. The setting appears to be a ritual blessing during a puja.2016-12-18September 13 20132013-09-13 +1 copiesSeptember 06 20122012-09-06September 03 20112011-09-03 +1 copiesApril 24 20182018-04-24 +1 copiesClose photograph of a devotee with short curly dark hair and a white garment being blessed by a priest whose hand rests on the top of his head, while another person's palms are pressed together in namaskar at the right edge.
