September 13 20142014-09-13A seated man in a rust-brown dhoti-style garment with a gold border rests his right hand on the forehead of a shaven-headed boy in an orange sleeveless robe. The seated man, with long hair tied back, rudraksha mala beads and white vibhuti marks, smiles warmly. The boy wears a rudraksha mala, bangle and a white vibhuti mark, eyes closed, palms together in a respectful gesture. Gold ceremonial objects and a dark speaker stand in the background.
