A seated man in an orange-red saffron robe and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace rests his right hand on the head of a man kneeling before him. The kneeling man wears a light blue collared shirt and has his hands pressed together in reverent greeting. Behind them stands a golden lion-headed throne armrest on red cushioned seating, with a garland of red, yellow and green flowers and gold-trimmed fabric in the background. The scene suggests a darshan blessing, with a gold-and-red ceremonial setting.2014-02-16February 15 20142014-02-15A seated figure in an orange and gold saffron-toned robe with a gold-and-beaded necklace and a dark braid rests a hand on the forehead of a bald man kneeling in front of him, who is wearing a light blue shirt, a blue cord with rudraksha beads, and has his palms pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes closed. The seated figure sits on a red cushioned chair beside a gold ornate carved panel, in a warm wood-paneled room.
