A photograph of a bare-chested man in orange ochre cloth with a long rudraksha and silver bead mala and a gold pendant necklace, seated on a red cushion. He has hair tied in a bun, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, and is smiling as he places his right hand on the head of a boy. The boy, in a turquoise t-shirt with a rudraksha mala, has his palms pressed together in namaste and eyes lowered. Behind them a woman in an orange saree and another person in blue stand in a plain room. The man has distinctive long rudraksha and gold adornments and an orange wrap, consistent with the page reference to a person, so this is a probable identification of the seated man, who is blessing the boy.2012-10-11December 07 20132013-12-07March 14 20132013-03-14A seated man in saffron-red robes and a long orange beaded necklace with gold beads smiles as he raises his right hand to touch the forehead of a young man in a white t-shirt with an orange shawl.
