A seated man in a yellow garment with a rudraksha mala and a red bindi on his forehead smiles while a man in a white shirt with a red collar stands with his back to the camera, both arms raised, placing a hand on the seated man's head. A golden throne backrest and a golden lamp stand appear in the background beside a green carved stone pillar. A striped white cloth wraps the seated man's forearm. The seated man has distinctive rudraksha beads and yellow clothing, but his appearance alone does not clearly establish the a person identity, so the candidate is marked unsure.2011-07-05November 24 20112011-11-24A seated man in a yellow dhoti-style wrap and a long rudraksha mala with a small red tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold and red velvet throne in front of a green and blue backdrop. He is bare-chested with a shawl draped across the body and has his hands raised, palms open, toward a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style cord who leans in and reaches toward him with both hands.

He smiles as his arms are raised toward a devotee in a green-and-white striped polo shirt with a purple cord, who holds both palms toward the seated man's forehead in a blessing gesture. Both sit before an ornate gold-framed throne with red and maroon cushions and draped dark red fabric in the background. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person, given the rudraksha malas, bun, and white wrap, seated on a throne in a blessing exchange. The devotee in green and white stands in front, receiving the blessing.2012-04-15A man in white ceremonial dress with a white-and-red bordered cloth draped over one shoulder and multiple rudraksha malas around his neck and arms stands beside a seated elderly man in white, placing his right hand on the older man's forehead in a blessing gesture.

Another bald person's head is visible at the bottom edge.2012-04-15A seated figure in saffron-red robes with a gold-toned ornate chain and rudraksha-style beads sits on a red velvet throne against a gold-carved backdrop. He wears a white tilak on his forehead and a bracelet on his wrist.

The seated figure wears a maroon garment with gold border, a long beaded necklace and a white vertical tilak on the forehead, with a red-and-blue wristband on the arm. A woman in white with a rudraksha mala kneels nearby, and a silver pole stands at right beside a gold-lattice panel. The seated figure wears distinctive long beaded gold necklaces and ceremonial red-and-gold attire consistent with the page's claim, so this is a person in person, while the photo shows a blessing ritual.2015-08-23November 24 20112011-11-24December 03 20132013-12-03April 15 20122012-04-15May 02 20122012-05-02
