A seated man in a red turban, red shawl, orange dhoti and green-and-gold border sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, holding a tray and touching the forehead of a young man in white dhoti and shirt who has his palms pressed together in respect. Behind them a shaved-headed man with white tilak stands, and a woman in a teal-and-white striped sari with a rudraksha mala watches at left, with another elderly woman at the far left. A large portrait of a smiling woman and a floral garland on the throne frame the scene. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure: his red turban, long swept hair, ornate gold necklaces and orange-and-green silk attire mark him as the honoured guide, while the white-clad young man receives blessing.2011-10-05A photograph of a ceremonial exchange in a temple-style setting. A seated figure in a red turban with a gold ornament, green and orange silk garment, layered gold necklaces and gold bangles places a hand on the forehead of a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala, who stands with palms joined in respectful greeting. A gold-and-red throne with floral garlands is behind the seated figure. Behind them a shaved-headed attendant with white tilak and a sacred thread stands beside a large portrait backdrop.
