Both wear white flower garlands and gold-tipped headgear with tilaka on their foreheads. The man on the left, with a shaved head and a rudraksha mala and gold pendant, raises one hand in a blessing gesture. The man on the right, wearing a heavy gold necklace and bangles, smiles with his hands joined at his waist. A white-clad attendant with a mala is partially visible at the left edge, beside a brass vessel and a deity murti in the background. Both men have bare chests or minimal clothing above their robes.2012-04-29A smiling man stands centrally in front of a painted backdrop of green leaves and pink blossoms with golden statues of figures behind him. He wears a deep red turban with a red bindi on the forehead, white vibhuti marks, a red saffron-coloured robe with gold-bordered edges, and a rudraksha mala draped across his chest. He also wears rudraksha bracelets on both wrists and armbands, and a long garland of pink and white flowers with gold-coloured floral sections hangs from his shoulders. Golden deity statues and greenery fill the background.2015-02-25January 30 20152015-01-30 +1 copiesA bronze-toned statue of a figure in a maroon turban with gold trim and maroon robes with gold-bordered shawl stands before a plain pale curtain.

He wears a long multicolour garland of pink, yellow and red flowers, gold bangles and a gold waist cord, and extends his right hand to touch the forehead of a golden statue of a bald sage wearing a white-and-red flower garland and maroon shawl. Behind him are more golden statues with white and red garlands, and a second man in a maroon garment stands at the right edge holding a ritual vessel.
