A photograph of a devotional home visit in a room with pale pink walls and a small wall-mounted flat screen. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt bends forward, his hands pressed together, as a robed figure seated on a red cushioned seat receives him. The seated figure has a shaved head with white markings, an orange-red garment, long rudraksha beads and gold jewellery, and is shown in the bottom right. Behind them, a standing figure in an orange-saffron robe with rudraksha malas and a bare-armed bangle holds a silver trident (trishul). Garlands of yellow and pink flowers decorate the walls. An older man in white clothes on the left and several other devotees, including a woman in white with a small child, watch the exchange.

A small flame burns on the floor near a white-flowered arrangement and a fan, in a purple-walled room with an arched doorway and a framed picture. The man in saffron is consistent with the page's description of a person, but this appearance-based identification is uncertain.2014-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 03 20142014-07-03A photograph of a blessing at an indoor event with red drapes and a floral backdrop. A bare-chested man in a saffron wrap and red top, seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, raises his hand to touch the forehead of a bowed older man in a white shirt. Nearby, a young man in an orange shawl and white kurta stands beside a priest in white, and a woman in green and a small child in a floral dress look on. Several others crowd behind. Page cues do not confirm the seated man's identity, so the appearance-based identity remains unsure. Garlands and flower arrangements decorate the stage.2009-02-21
