He raises his right hand to his forehead as if touching the tilak. Beside him stands a young attendant in an orange turban and orange dhoti, shirtless, wearing silver and beaded necklaces, holding a small metal plate. A silver lion or similar figure sits in the foreground, with a stone pillar and railing behind. A DTX drum-machine style electronic device stands on a stand nearby. The man is an appearance-based a person candidate: long swept hair, gold ornaments, rudraksha-style beads and garlands, with ceremonial dress consistent with the page, though the face is not used for identity. Two people are visible.2017-10-05July 17 20162016-07-17A seated man with long dark hair, a white forehead mark, gold-toned hoop earrings, beaded bracelets and a rust-brown wrap reaches out to touch a sprig of green leaves held by a bare-chested attendant in a pink headcloth, gold necklaces, white body markings and a white dhoti with gold border. The attendant leans forward holding a mesh-covered vessel near a golden throne with ornate carved back, against a deep red draped curtain. A black microphone stand with DTX label sits in front. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears long swept-back hair, a rust-brown wrap and beaded bracelets, and sits on a throne during initiation, so this is a probable identification. Setting suggests a Shiva Deeksha initiation ritual.2017-04-26August 14 20162016-08-14April 26 20172017-04-26
