A close portrait of a shaved-headed, bespectacled older man in an orange kurta with a white shawl draped over his shoulders and a dark rudraksha mala at his chest. He sits with palms pressed together in namaste while another person's hand rests on his forehead, a white sacred mark visible there. He wears gold rings, and orange-robed figures are blurred in the background against a red curtain. The man has no distinctive long hair, crown, or ceremonial gold necklace, so no a person identity is claimed; the figure is described by role only as a devotee receiving blessing.2010-09-20A bald, bespectacled man in a white kurta wears a long rudraksha mala with red-thread knots and a yellow cord over his shoulder, with a red-brown tilak on his forehead. He leans forward with eyes lowered, facing a person seen from behind with dark braided hair and a blue top, in a crowded hall with other people behind. The man has bald head and white ritual clothes but the rudraksha mala and yellow cord alone do not establish identity, so no a person identification is made; he is described as a man in white ritual dress.2016-12-18November 24 20112011-11-24April 06 20122012-04-06November 20 20092009-11-20December 17 20092009-12-17A photograph of a saffron-robed figure with long swept-back hair, tilak on the forehead, and multiple rudraksha malas, placing one hand on the head of an older bowing man in a white kurta with a golden embroidered collar and a lanyard badge.
