A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne receiving a visitor in a temple-style hall. The seated man has long dark hair, a full beard, a white forehead marking, a rust-orange wrap draped over bare shoulders and a white flower garland around his neck; his eyes are closed and he appears to be speaking. a person by appearance cues: long hair, saffron-orange wrap, garland and throne presentation. Facing him, a curly-haired young man in a blue silk kurta with a red thread around his wrist reaches toward him, his hand near a small brass or silver vessel on a gold tray. Behind them, figures in white dhoti-style garments, one with a sacred ash marking on the forehead, stand in the background, along with a partially visible child at the lower left. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan exchange.

A man in a blue collared shirt leans in close from the left as if offering honour or blessing. The background shows gold carved panels and a white cooling unit. Appearance-based candidate: a person seated on the throne with long swept-back hair, orange clothing and ceremonial garlands.2016-05-03May 06 20162016-05-06December 21 20162016-12-21December 21 20162016-12-21December 12 20162016-12-12September 09 20162016-09-09December 12 20162016-12-12April 05 20172017-04-05A bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a rust-orange cloth and a white flower garland, places his raised right hand on the forehead of a younger person in a black headband and a red-orange rudraksha mala. The younger person has bare shoulders, earrings, and holds their left hand up in a palm-out gesture while smiling. Behind them, people in white dhotis with gold borders and beaded malas stand, and a metal pot and a ceremonial staff are visible. The setting appears to be a ritual or blessing moment, with the man's distinctive long hair, saffron-orange cloth, and ornate garland giving a probable match to the a person description, though the image alone leaves identity uncertain.2016-12-21
