The man receiving the blessing has closed eyes and a moustache.2012-08-21 +1 copiesPhotograph of a seated figure with a white vertical forehead mark and dark hair in a bun, wearing an orange-saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders, a rudraksha mala and gold chain, bending forward with palms raised toward a standing man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a lanyard badge, who raises his arm in greeting; the two smile.
