A photograph of a blessing scene in an indoor hall with a wooden paneled wall and red-draped backdrop. A seated man in orange robes with long dark hair places his right palm on the forehead of an older grey-haired man in a white checked shirt with a red-bordered shawl, who bows his head. Behind them, a woman in white with a dark bun also bows, and other people in white and yellow stand in the background. Platters of flowers and offerings sit on a red cloth in the foreground, beside an ornate gold-edged frame.2010-02-09July 02 20122012-07-02A seated long-haired figure in an orange saffron robe with a gold-bordered sash touches the forehead of a young man in a white t-shirt who kneels with his palms pressed together, eyes closed. The figure holds a small folded paper in the other hand and wears a red bindi. Behind them, a partly visible person in a green-bordered cloth sits with a rudraksha mala, and a red velvet cushion and dark maroon curtain frame the room.
