February 01 20152015-02-01February 01 20152015-02-01A seated figure in an orange-red sannyasi wrap and a multi-strand rudraksha mala with short upswept dark hair places a palm on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt and dark tie, who holds a blue and yellow booklet and a folded paper in his hands. Behind them is an ornate gold throne back, a red velvet seat, and yellow flowers with green foliage. The seated figure's long swept hair is not visible here; the appearance cues are insufficient for a confident identification, so the seated figure is described by role as a giver of blessing.2015-02-01February 25 20152015-02-25February 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesA photograph of a ritual blessing indoors. A long-haired man in a maroon and red-brown robe, with a rudraksha mala hanging at his chest, sits on the left and presses his right palm to the forehead of a seated young man in a white polo shirt and a red patterned shawl.

Behind them stand ornate gold-framed panels, gold garlands, potted green plants and a deep red drape. A standing person in white is partly visible at the right edge.
