A photograph inside a large hall with white tiled floor and red curtains, where a robed figure in orange-brown saffron cloth with a gold waist band and a long rudraksha-style bead mala places his right hand on the head of a man in a white polo shirt. The figure has long dark hair tied up, gold earrings, bangles and a forearm band, and a ceremonial gold necklace. A man in a white shirt on the left stands with palms pressed together in namaste, and another man in a white shirt with a blue collar and a man in a checked shirt stand nearby in a line of devotees behind chrome stanchions. Several people in white clothes stand in the background near a stage with a deity image and a yellow arrangement.

Several men in white shirts and dhotis and a woman in white stand along the rope barrier. One man on the left wears a brown-and-white robe and rudraksha mala.

He has long swept-back hair, a sandalwood forehead mark with a red bindi, and a broad smile. Devotees in white shirts and dhotis, some with white vibhuti and orange lanyards, press palms together and bow forward to receive blessing.

A man on the right wears a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with a thick rudraksha-style bead mala, gold armlets and a red tilak; he places his hand on the forehead of a devotee. A younger man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard stands at left with hands folded, and another devotee in white bends forward in front of a metal barrier. Several more people in white kurtas and saris stand in the background, and a screen glows at the far right. Visible cues suggest a person for the man in orange, who appears to be giving blessing, so the candidate is in person but the identification is uncertain.2013-09-12September 04 20132013-09-04
