He has long swept-back hair, a sandalwood forehead mark with a red bindi, and a broad smile. Devotees in white shirts and dhotis, some with white vibhuti and orange lanyards, press palms together and bow forward to receive blessing. A golden throne-like seat stands at the back of the hall beside a stage with a tripod camera and dark curtain.

The overall scene suggests an ashram darshan or blessing moment.2013-06-30July 21 20142014-07-21A photograph of a man in a brown and gold ceremonial dhoti and shawl, with rudraksha mala and gold necklace, placing his hand on the head of a smiling devotee in a white shirt in a hall.

The figure wears gold bangles and has long swept-back dark hair and gold earrings, and gives a blessing. Behind them, a man in white with a red shawl and other devotees stand in a hall with a gold-and-red ornate display at the right edge. The appearance cues are distinctive, so this is a person presenting a blessing, with a devotee receiving it.2013-07-21
