A photograph of a ritual blessing outdoors under a canopy. A bare-shouldered man in a maroon-red cloth wrap and gold-toned neck adornment places his right palm on the forehead of a man in a white kurta and red-and-white beaded necklace, who holds his own right hand up in a gesture of receiving. Behind them a seated woman in a white top and dark mala beads watches, with more people and an orange tassel visible in the background. The setting appears to be a satsang gathering.

A photograph of a blessing moment at an outdoor event. A man with long swept-back dark hair and a bare-shouldered maroon-red garment with a gold-toned shoulder cord places his raised palm on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala. Both are in profile, eyes closed. Behind them a woman in white with a dark bead necklace holds her hand out, and a gold-fringed orange canopy edge is visible at top left. Several people in red and maroon clothing stand in the background. The man giving the blessing has distinctive long hair and maroon-red attire with a gold shoulder cord, consistent with the page's a person reference, but his appearance is not certain enough to confirm identity.2013-12-20Outdoor satsang scene in Bali. A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a rust-red dhoti-style wrap and a thick gold-brown beaded necklace, extends his right arm to touch the forehead of an older man with short grey hair. The older man wears a white kurta with a red shawl and rudraksha mala, and holds his right hand raised with palm open. Behind them, a woman in white with a mala and another in red-orange sari-style clothing stand among attendees, and an orange and gold fringed canopy hangs at the left edge. The man in rust-red robes appears to be a person (long swept hair, ornate beaded necklace, saffron-toned robes) performing a blessing; uncertain in appearance, so flagged unsure.2013-12-20December 20 20132013-12-20December 20 20132013-12-20July 10 20132013-07-10December 20 20132013-12-20A photograph of an indoor ritual moment in a hall with cream walls and a gold-coloured fixture at left. A figure with long dark hair tied in a bun and a bare-chested upper body, wearing a rust-red and gold-bordered cloth and a rudraksha mala, places a palm on the forehead of a man in a white shirt with a red shawl and a beaded necklace. The recipient bows his head and holds his hands together in a folded gesture. The cues for a person are the bun and long hair, the rudraksha mala, the ceremonial red-and-gold cloth, and the act of blessing, with the figure being the blessing giver. The man receiving the blessing is a devotee.2013-12-16December 01 20132013-12-01February 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesDecember 16 20132013-12-16July 10 20132013-07-10July 17 20132013-07-17
