A photograph of a close, intimate blessing moment. On the left, a bearded man in a cream kurta with gold-embroidered trim and a gold bracelet stands with his eyes lowered and hands raised near his head. On the right, a man with long dark hair tied in a bun and a rudraksha mala around his neck, wearing a red shawl with gold border, places both palms on the first man's head in a blessing gesture. Other blurred people in white stand in the background, and a red curtain is visible behind them.

The figure on the left, a bare-shouldered man with long dark hair in a low knot, wears a gold-and-orange wrap and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace, and presses his palm to the forehead of a second man. That second man wears a white kurta with a saffron-orange shawl bearing printed motifs and has his hand raised above his head. Behind them, seated devotees in light clothing watch, and a golden ceremonial object appears at the lower left. The scene appears to be a forehead blessing or initiation moment.2014-03-06July 13 20162016-07-13July 11 20132013-07-11August 22 20122012-08-22 +1 copiesSeptember 04 20112011-09-04 +1 copiesMarch 09 20142014-03-09July 14 20162016-07-14A photograph of an indoor event with warm lighting and blurred background.
