A photograph of a ritual exchange in front of a deep red drape and carved wooden pillar. A woman in a maroon sari with gold borders and a long braid stands at left, touching a bearded man's face with her fingers. The bearded man wears an orange-saffron robe draped over his head and shoulders, a gold pendant on a dark beaded necklace, a red tilak on his forehead, and holds a tall bamboo staff with an orange cloth tied to it. A man in a red polo shirt with dark stripes stands at right, watching. At the bottom edge, blurred fragments of a purple garment, a silver-embellished cloth, and a pink turban are in the foreground. The bearded man is shown with a red-orange robe and staff, consistent with a sannyasi role in a satsang setting; identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.

A bearded man in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an orange throne-like chair holding a staff, looking toward a white-robed elderly seated figure in a red-patterned shawl with a white marked forehead, who receives a garland. A woman in a rust-coloured sari and shawl touches the seated elder's head in blessing. Behind them men in saffron and orange dhotis, one with a rudraksha mala and one carrying a tray of flowers, stand by a wooden carved canopy.2014-10-12July 19 20152015-07-19May 27 20152015-05-27
