A seated woman with long dark hair and a bare-shouldered orange garment, wearing a brown rudraksha-style mala, leans forward to hand a stick or offering to a young couple kneeling before her. The man, with short hair and a red tilak on his forehead, wears a white shirt and a rust-red shawl over a mala; the woman beside him has light hair in a bun and a red shawl over white clothing. Behind them a seated devotee in white with a brown mala gestures. Ornate gold and green garlands hang on a maroon-draped stand, with a silver trident beside it and a few other devotees in orange saris in the background. The setting appears to be a temple or ashram hall with a satsang-style ritual exchange.2014-12-26December 24 20142014-12-24December 26 20142014-12-26December 24 20142014-12-24Indoor photo of a seated long-haired man in a maroon and red garment with a rudraksha mala, gesturing with raised palm toward a standing man in a white shirt and orange-red shawl with a tilak.
