A photo of a curly-haired man in a white loose shirt and a wooden rudraksha-style mala necklace, eyes closed and head tilted, with his right hand raised palm-out in front of him. Another person's bare arm reaches in from the right and presses a palm to his forehead in a blessing-like gesture against a dark red curtain backdrop. A white cabinet-like unit sits at the right edge. No clear a person cues of saffron clothing, long swept hair or crown are visible, so the identity is uncertain.

A young man with curly, shoulder-length brown hair and stubble stands in profile wearing a loose white shirt with full sleeves, a red-brown rudraksha mala around his neck, and gold bangles on his wrist. His eyes are closed and he raises one palm forward while another person's hand, with a scar on the forearm, rests on his forehead in a blessing gesture. A deep maroon curtain forms the background, with a white cabinet-like object at the right edge and a blurred head at the lower left. The visible man is a devotee receiving a blessing; his appearance does not clearly match the a person cues, so no a person identification is made.2011-12-02A photograph of a shaved-headed? no: a man with long dark curly hair and a beard, wearing a white kurta with a thin chain necklace and beaded bracelet, eyes closed and head bowed as another man in an orange saffron garment places his palm on his forehead.
