A photograph of a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a long beaded necklace seated on an ornate red and gold throne. The seated figure has a white marking on the forehead and hands raised to the head. A bald man in a white dhoti-style garment with a red border bows forward, pressing his head against the seated figure's arm. The setting is an indoor event with warm bokeh lights in the background. The seated figure matches the distinctive presentation cues of a person: long swept hair, saffron clothing and a beaded necklace, so the identity is an appearance-based label only. The bowing man in white is a devotee receiving a blessing.2010-10-15A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair, wearing a red-orange shawl over an orange-brown robe and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala with gold accents, with a small red bindi on the forehead, smiling as a man in a white t-shirt bends forward to drape a red shawl over his shoulders.

A second person in white stands partly behind them. An orange upholstered armchair sits empty at left, a microphone on a stand at right, and a small basket with pink flowers sits on a ledge.
