Seated on a golden throne before a red draped backdrop, a man in a rust-orange turban, saffron-orange robe and ornate orange-beaded necklaces extends his right hand over a kneeling devotee's head in blessing, while holding a fruit in his left hand. The kneeling devotee in a white shirt and yellow-orange shawl presses his palms together. Behind them, a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala stands with hands folded, a man in a white shirt and other attendees stand nearby, and a golden lamp stand and ornate golden carved pillars frame the scene. Marigold flowers lie on the floor, and fruit sits in the foreground.

A seated figure with a shaved head? No: a figure with long dark hair wearing a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, a gold bangle and a maroon-and-gold draped garment places one raised hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl. The recipient stands with palms together at his waist while the officiant holds a folded paper in the other hand. Behind them stand women in white and orange clothing and gold-embroidered draperies, with a golden ornamental panel at left. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan ritual inside a temple setting.2015-10-24October 22 20152015-10-22 +1 copiesOctober 25 20152015-10-25A seated figure in a red-orange turban and bare-shouldered orange and gold garment wears a long white floral garland and a gold-beaded necklace, and rests his right hand on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt with palms pressed together in namaste.
