On the left, a bare-shouldered man in a rust-orange wrap with a golden sash and a rudraksha mala holds a sheaf of paper and extends his hand toward a man on the right. That man wears a white kurta and a rust-red shawl with a beaded mala, and raises his palms in a blessing gesture. Behind them a golden deity murti or ornate golden object is visible, along with a silver ceremonial staff and devotees in red and white. A woman in a red top watches at right.2014-09-04A photograph of a ritual blessing. A man with hair tied up and a rudraksha-style necklace, wearing a rust-red and orange wrap and seated beside an ornate gold-carved throne with an orange fringed canopy, places his right palm on the forehead of a man in a white shirt and red shawl. The recipient holds his other hand up with a beaded bracelet on the wrist, and a sheet of paper is held in the blessing hand. Behind them a woman in white with a dark bead mala watches, and other people in white and red stand out of focus.2013-12-20March 03 20152015-03-03A seated man in a rust-orange robe with a rudraksha mala around his neck extends his right arm to touch the forehead of a man in white kurta, whose palms are raised in reverence. The seated figure has a white vibhuti mark and hair tied back in a bun, and is shirtless beneath the orange wrap. Behind them a woman in white with a dark rudraksha mala and white forehead mark sits watching, with another woman in white on the right and devotees in white in the background, plus green foliage and a fan. The setting appears to be a satsang or blessing ritual. The orange-robed figure shows no distinctive a person cues strong enough to qualify, so his identity is uncertain.2015-02-19 +1 copiesOctober 06 20152015-10-06October 04 20132013-10-04November 06 20112011-11-06February 25 20152015-02-25A photograph of a guided yoga or kriya session in an indoor room with a pale peach wall.
