A bare-chested man with long dark hair tied in a bun, wearing gold hoop earrings, a rudraksha mala and an orange shawl draped over his shoulder, places his right hand on the forehead of a seated middle-aged man in a white garment and orange shawl. Behind them, other men in orange shawls stand watching, and a white cooling unit is at the right edge.2012-07-20March 24 20182018-03-24 +1 copiesJuly 17 20162016-07-17December 12 20162016-12-12A ritual scene in a temple hall with a red, blue and gold ornate canopy behind. A man in orange-red robes with long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead mark and a rudraksha mala, seated on the right, holds a small paper or cloth-wrapped object above the head of a shirtless devotee who is bent forward with hands on his head. Another orange-robed person sits at the left, and a woman in white sari and bangles supports the devotee's shoulders. A white cord runs from the devotee's head down toward the floor, and a tray with offerings sits nearby. The long-haired figure in orange with rudraksha beads presents a distinctive appearance matching the page's indication of Swamiji, though the identification is based on appearance cues alone.2017-12-31 +1 copies
