July 21 20152015-07-21A photograph of a blessing moment indoors in a dimly lit room with a warm wall lamp and a dark carved wall. A man in a saffron-orange shawl with a white vertical tilak and a white flower garland, wearing a gold crown-like headpiece and blue and red beaded bracelets, places his right palm on the forehead of an older bald man in a white kurta and a red-orange shawl with a black rudraksha mala. A smiling woman in a white sari and orange-beaded necklace watches from behind, and smoke or incense haze drifts in the background. The seated-to-standing blessing suggests darshan or padapuja, with the recipient bowing his head forward.

A man with swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a white-and-red flower garland and a saffron-and-gold wrap presses his hand to the forehead of an older bald man in a white shirt with an orange-red shawl, who bows forward. Behind them a woman in a red top and a standing attendant in white and lavender watch.
