A photograph of a man in a dark navy polo shirt over a white undershirt, with a double-strand rudraksha mala around his neck, standing with his eyes lowered and one hand raised to his forehead. A second person in the foreground, seen from behind with dark curly hair and wearing an orange sleeveless top, holds out a small printed card toward him. A printed card held in the foreground reads as an Ashram-style form. The man's face and posture suggest quiet reception of blessing, though no ritual object beyond the card and mala is visible.2009-12-13A photograph of a young man in a navy blue t-shirt with a rudraksha mala around his neck, kneeling with palms pressed together in namaskar and eyes closed.
