A seated figure on an ornate gold throne wears a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap, a thick pink rose garland, and a rudraksha mala, with white sandal or vibhuti markings on the forehead and arms. Long dark hair falls past the shoulders. A man in a white short-sleeved shirt leans forward and pours or applies a white powder into the seated person's cupped hands. An orange and saffron flag hangs in the background, and a green leafy offering lies on the golden base. The scene suggests a ritual anointing with a pale substance.

May 14 20122012-05-14A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron garment with a large pink rose garland, white tilak markings on the forehead and arms, and a rudraksha mala around the neck. He sits on a red cushioned seat before golden ornate backrests, with an orange-and-white flag behind. A man in a white striped shirt with a beaded rudraksha-style mala kneels and pours or offers liquid from a small silver vessel into the seated figure's hands, while green leaves rest at the lower edge. The setting appears to be a temple or ashram hall. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page reference but not conclusively verifiable, so identity is uncertain.2012-05-14August 14 20172017-08-14May 14 20122012-05-14 +1 copiesA seated man with long swept-back black hair wears a saffron-orange robe, a thick magenta rose garland, and a rudraksha mala with a white tilak on his forehead.
