A seated man in rust-red saffron robes with long dreadlocks and a gold-bead necklace presses his palms to the forehead of a bare-chested devotee in a white dhoti, who kneels before him. A second saffron-robed attendant with a rudraksha mala and white markings on his arms stands at left, holding the devotee's shoulder. Behind them are large floral garlands in yellow and red, a silver trident, a brass lamp, and a leopard-print cushioned seat. A white cord is draped over the devotee's shoulder. The scene appears to be a satsang initiation ritual on a stage.

A bare-chested, shaved-headed devotee kneels forward while a seated man in a rust-red dhoti-style wrap and rust shawl, with a long braided-looking dark hair, rudraksha-like beads and gold necklaces, places his right hand on the devotee's head. The seated figure sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne-like seat with silver railings. Behind them hang garlands of marigolds and roses in yellow, red, white and green, and a silver bowl stands on a small table. A younger attendant in saffron-orange cloth with rudraksha malas stands at the left edge, watching. The scene resembles a shakti initiation blessing.2018-04-19April 08 20182018-04-08 +1 copiesApril 04 20182018-04-04 +1 copiesNovember 19 20172017-11-19April 22 20182018-04-22November 19 20172017-11-19March 04 20182018-03-04
