A photograph of a shaved-headed man with a bare chest and rudraksha beads, receiving a blessing from a bearded sadhu with long dreadlocks and no shirt. The blessing sadhu presses his right palm to the seated man's forehead, while a second person's hands hold a white card or paper near the man's shoulder. The seated man wears a red-orange shawl printed with script, and a silver ceremonial staff or kalasha stands at the right edge. A red-thread bracelet is visible on the blessing sadhu's wrist and a gold bangle on the assistant's wrist. Two people are visible.

A figure with long dark swept-back hair, an orange-yellow vibhuti or tilak mark on the forehead, an orange cloth wrap and a dense necklace of rudraksha beads and bells places one hand on the forehead of a bald man in a white kurta with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala. The bald man's eyes are closed and his palms are pressed together. The blessing figure's other hand holds a pink card. Other people stand softly out of focus at the edges, including a woman in pink and an orange-clad person at right.2012-07-21March 28 20182018-03-28 +1 copiesMarch 28 20182018-03-28 +1 copiesApril 30 20182018-04-30July 20 20122012-07-20March 31 20182018-03-31June 24 20172017-06-24April 30 20182018-04-30May 13 20182018-05-13 +1 copiesJuly 07 20162016-07-07May 09 20152015-05-09
