A photograph of a man in a white shirt on the left raising both hands toward a large painted or printed portrait of a face with dark eyes and a red tilak, draped in orange cloth against a red velvet backdrop. On the right, a smiling person with swept-back dark hair, a white forehead mark, an orange garment and a beaded rudraksha-style mala reaches toward the portrait. A golden ornate seat edge appears at the far right. The scene appears to be a devotional gesture before a painted image.

August 22 20122012-08-22July 07 20122012-07-07A photograph of a smiling man in an orange saffron dhoti-style wrap with a thick gold ceremonial necklace of bead-like pendants, his hair swept back into a bun and a red bindi on his forehead, placing both palms on the forehead of a shorter man in a white t-shirt. The recipient has his eyes closed and hands raised toward the blessing figure. Behind them are golden deity statues decorated with marigold garlands in orange and yellow, and a red cushion on the right. The orange-clad figure's appearance and attire are consistent with the described cues, but the page does not state he is present, so identity is uncertain; he is described by role as a blessing giver.2011-12-17September 08 20122012-09-08February 09 20122012-02-09July 11 20122012-07-11February 09 20122012-02-09July 06 20122012-07-06Photograph 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.
