The seated man has long swept-back hair, a red tilak on his forehead and a draped orange shawl, and sits in front of ornate gold carved panels and a red velvet cushion. The devotee wears a white shirt and an orange shawl and holds his own right palm up near the seated man's arm. The setting suggests a blessing or darshan moment.2012-05-02A seated figure in a rust-orange saffron wrap, draped over one shoulder with bare arm visible, wears a long multi-strand rudraksha mala with gold-toned beads at the neck and a tripundra-like white mark on the forehead; the figure has long swept-back hair and is smiling. A man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl around his neck stands leaning in, both hands raised above his head, pressing his palm to the seated figure's forehead in a blessing gesture. Behind them are a golden deity murti, a gold lion-faced armrest or seat ornament at left, a silver staff-like ritual object, and a vertical white-slatted screen against red and orange draperies.2014-08-31May 14 20132013-05-14A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on a red cushioned throne with an ornate gold backrest, draped in red velvet curtains. He wears a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, with a small red bindi on his forehead, and smiles as he places both hands on the head of a young man in a white t-shirt who bows before him. The setting appears to be a stage or darshan hall. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated on the throne in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, giving blessings to the devotee in white.2012-05-02May 02 20122012-05-02A seated figure in a maroon-red sannyasi robe with an orange sash and rudraksha mala beads sits on a red cushioned seat, smiling broadly with a white vibhuti marking and red kumkum dot on the forehead, raising one palm toward a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala who stands with hands folded in namaskar. A gold-colored ornamental figure and yellow drape stand behind, with green potted plants and a fan nearby, and other white-clad attendees stand in the background. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person given the saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial setting, so this is treated as in person and an appearance-based identity claim. Two people are clearly visible plus additional partial figures in the background.2015-02-15
