The seated figure sits on an ornate silver-and-gold throne in front of a decorated deity murti garlanded with orange flowers. Behind them, other devotees in red and orange shawls watch. A wooden tray or box sits nearby. The seated man is a person by appearance cues: swept-up hair, red ceremonial robe, and beaded mala, while the kneeling man is a devotee receiving blessing.2015-12-26A seated figure in a red-brown dhoti and shawl, wearing white-and-orange flower garlands and a white forehead mark, places his right hand on the crown of a kneeling man in a white shirt and red-orange shawl. The seated figure's eyes are closed and he appears to be giving a blessing. Beside him are gold lion-head armrests of a throne, a silver staff with a ornate finial, and a framed painting on a pale wall. A woman in a red top is partly visible at the right edge.2014-05-13September 21 20142014-09-21August 13 20172017-08-13 +1 copiesOutdoors at a ritual, a figure in a red-orange turban and red-orange dress with a white flower garland and gold bangles raises a hand toward the forehead of a bald, bearded man in white with a red-orange shawl, who has his eyes closed. Behind them a woman in red-orange holds a silver tray of sliced apples and other offerings. Crowds in white and red-orange clothing stand around, a cameraman films and a photographer uses a flash, and a lamp stand is visible. The setting appears to be a ceremony at a temple or ashram, with a probable Swamiji wearing a turban, saffron-coloured dress, a garland and gold bangles blessing a devotee.2014-12-17January 20 20142014-01-20 +1 copiesApril 30 20182018-04-30 +1 copies
