A photograph of a ceremony on a stage in front of a large backdrop of a stone temple. A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a red-and-green flower garland and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne-like seat with a leopard-print cushion, his forehead marked with white and a dark hair knot. Two priests in white dhotis with gold borders and gold-and-white head cloths stand behind him, one bare-chested with a sacred thread, performing a ritual service. A silver trident stands at the left. The seated man's cues (saffron robes, rudraksha mala, ornate gold seat) are consistent with a person presentation, though the frame is partly obscured.

Two women in saffron-orange sarongs with bare shoulders and white body markings stand before him, one with her back turned holding a long silver trident-topped staff and a bowl, the other bending forward to attend to him. A silver lion figure sits beside the throne. The setting is an indoor stage with a red curtain and carved wooden panels.2017-11-17May 06 20182018-05-06April 10 20162016-04-10May 13 20182018-05-13 +1 copiesMay 13 20182018-05-13May 13 20182018-05-13March 06 20162016-03-06 +1 copiesA seated man in orange-red robes and a long rudraksha mala, with long hair and a white forehead band, places his right hand on the head of a bare-chested devotee in a white dhoti whose eyes are covered by a white cloth. Behind the throne is an ornate silver carved backrest, and two leopard-print cushions and carved lion-head armrests frame the seat. A second attendant with a red headband and white dhoti stands at left, supporting the devotee. A microphone stands at right. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, saffron-orange robes and rudraksha mala match the a person presentation cues, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role as the seated teacher giving blessing to a devotee.2018-05-06September 26 20172017-09-26September 10 20172017-09-10 +1 copiesOctober 10 20172017-10-10 +2 copies
