A man in an orange robe with a thick red and green flower garland, layered beaded necklaces, a gold pendant and a bangle reaches out and places his palm on the head of a devotee with short dark hair in a light blue shirt, who stands with palms pressed together. Several other devotees in white shirts and white dhotis hold their hands in anjali behind them, one wearing a dark rudraksha-style mala. The man in orange has a white tripundra mark on his forehead and smiles. Pink walls and a red-and-white painted pillar with a yellow motif frame the room, and another person with a white-marked forehead is at the right edge. The orange-robed figure is presented as a person by the page cues, though the appearance is only partly consistent with the description, so the identity is uncertain.2013-01-12August 09 20172017-08-09 +1 copiesSeptember 13 20132013-09-13
