Behind them stand several people in orange-red shawls and white garments, one with a red bindi-marked forehead, some wearing rudraksha beads on their wrists. The seated figure sits in a brown leather armchair with carved wooden armrest, and a water bottle and a small black device rest on an orange table nearby. This appears to be a blessing or initiation moment in an ashram hall.2016-02-10 +1 copiesA seated figure in an orange-red turban and orange-saffron robes with long rudraksha and gold-bead malas sits on a gilded throne, extending a fruit toward a woman in a cream sari with floral border who kneels and offers a reddish fruit in both hands. Beside him, a shaved-headed priest in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits with a sacred ash mark on his forehead, and two standing women in white saris, one holding a brown bag and papers, watch. Behind them stand a red curtain and brass oil lamps. Illuminated by stage lighting, the scene suggests a ritual offering. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), with turban, swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ornate gold-bead necklaces as distinguishing cues.2015-10-12July 23 20122012-07-23A photograph inside a bright, pale pink hall with tiled floor and hanging striped fabric decorations.

In front, a bald man in white with an orange-red shawl sits with closed eyes, and several other white-clad, shawled participants sit in rows, some with rudraksha malas.
