A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, a trimmed beard and white and red tilak on his forehead, wearing a rust-orange cloth over bare shoulders and a garland of white and pink flowers with red blooms. He sits on an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print seat cover, his eyes closed, placing his right hand on the head of a young boy who kneels before him in a light-coloured garment. Behind them stands a silver trident-like staff and a second attendant with white tilak and rudraksha beads. The setting is a stage with red drapery.

A second young person in orange stands at the left edge, and a child in orange is visible at the right edge. Stage lights and red backdrop lights frame the scene. The image shows an initiation blessing with a seated figure, with the seated man's identity held as unsure.2017-04-04April 04 20172017-04-04A seated man in an ornate golden throne with a red cushion places his right hand on the head of a young boy who stands before him. The seated figure wears a brown-orange saffron-toned shawl, layered garlands of red and white flowers, rudraksha beads on both wrists and a necklace, with a white tilak on his forehead and a long dark beard. The boy is bare-chested with a white cloth around his waist and a thin white cord across his back, his head bowed. Behind them stands a silver trident and a second figure partly visible at the left edge, with a dark background of foliage and red draped fabric. The seated figure appears to be the a person, given the saffron-toned robes, rudraksha beads and flower garlands, and the act of giving a blessing to the boy on a throne.2017-04-08April 04 20172017-04-04A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, a full beard and a tilak on his forehead, wearing a saffron-brown shawl and a multicoloured flower garland with a rudraksha mala, resting his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt.
