A long-haired man in an orange-brown saffron robe with a rudraksha mala extends his right arm and lays his hand on the head of a younger man in a white shirt with an orange-red shawl, who bows his head. The elder holds a folded white cloth in his other hand. Behind them stands a red velvet seat, a golden ornate vessel and red and white flowers. Several people in orange and white clothing stand in the background, including a woman in white.2012-12-28October 10 20152015-10-10A seated man in saffron-red robes, with a white vertical tilak on his forehead, a white and orange flower garland and a dark rudraksha mala with gold-toned beads, sits on a red zebra-patterned cushioned seat before an ornate gold throne backrest. He rests his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt who kneels before him holding a folded paper. A woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala and a white forehead mark sits to the right. Behind them are red wooden latticed screens and a wall-mounted fan.

Behind them a woman in a red blouse and blue-patterned sari, wearing gold bangles, stands near red curtains, while other people in a crowd watch. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with dark panelled walls.2012-07-22April 27 20142014-04-27July 03 20122012-07-03A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne with carved floral and scrolled silver panels and a carved lion-like figure at the right edge.
