A long-haired ascetic with dreadlocks and a red thread on his wrist presses his palm to the man's forehead in blessing. Another man in a white dhoti with yellow borders stands behind them, and blurred figures appear in the background of a red-curtained hall.2017-07-30 +1 copiesJune 19 20172017-06-19March 03 20172017-03-03Photograph of a shaved-head... no: a man with hair tied in a topknot and a white vertical tilak on his forehead stands at left, wearing an orange-saffron shawl draped over one shoulder and a wrap around his waist, with multiple rudraksha malas with silver beads and a gold necklace. He places his right hand on the crown of the head of a seated-to-standing devotee at right, who wears a white kurta, rudraksha mala, and an orange-lanyard identity badge, with palms raised in a gesture of receiving blessing and eyes closed. Behind them, a bald man in saffron clothing sits, and a red curtain hangs on the right wall. The setting appears to be an indoor ashram hall with plain white walls.2012-10-11 +1 copiesPhotograph of a devotee in a white kurta with a red-and-white beaded mala and an orange-red shawl, having his forehead touched by the raised hand of a bare-chested figure with long dark hair wound up in a topknot adorned with rudraksha beads, a pink and white flower garland, and gold bangles and earrings. The bare-chested figure, who appears to be a sculpted or costumed figure rather than a clearly identifiable living person, is in front of a red drape backdrop; the devotee's expression is calm and smiling. No clear identification of a person is possible from appearance alone, so the figure is described by role and attire only.2017-03-14 +1 copiesJune 30 20172017-06-30July 14 20172017-07-14 +1 copies
