On the left, a figure with long dark hair swept back and a red hair tie, wearing a rust-red saffron-toned garment and a long golden-beaded necklace, stretches an arm forward to hold a palm near the forehead of a man on the right. The man has short grey hair, wears a white short-sleeved shirt and a red-and-black beaded mala, and raises his hands in a blessing-like gesture. Behind them, orange-clad devotees and a woman in a cream outfit are visible, along with an ornate gold-framed structure with orange fringed canopy at left. The gesture resembles a blessing or transmission of energy during satsang.2013-12-20October 25 20152015-10-25September 13 20142014-09-13May 01 20142014-05-01A photograph of a ritual blessing indoors.
