A seated man in a rust-red dhoti and bare-chested, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a white vibhuti line on his forehead, places his right hand on the head of an older man in a white collared shirt who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair tied in a bun and sits near green potted plants, with a gold cloth visible beside him. In the background a woman in white and other people in white clothing watch. The scene resembles a blessing given during a satsang, with the seated man's distinctive mala and dress as the most notable cues.

A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a rudraksha mala of large beads and a reddish-orange garment, reaches one arm up to place his palm on the forehead of a short-haired, older Western man in a white sleeveless top with a name badge. Two other hands are raised near the recipient, and a few seated people in white and blurred figures are in the background.

The gesture resembles blessing or initiation.2015-02-25A seated man in a rust-orange robe with a rudraksha mala around his neck extends his right arm to touch the forehead of a man in white kurta, whose palms are raised in reverence. The seated figure has a white vibhuti mark and hair tied back in a bun, and is shirtless beneath the orange wrap. Behind them a woman in white with a dark rudraksha mala and white forehead mark sits watching, with another woman in white on the right and devotees in white in the background, plus green foliage and a fan.
