Behind him stands an ornate silver throne with carved swans and floral motifs against a red backdrop. In front, a bald man in white dhoti and shawl with a yellow border kneels and bows, wearing a rudraksha mala. To the left, an attendant in a yellow-trimmed garment and beaded mala holds a tray of offerings.

No: a figure with long dark hair wearing a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, a gold bangle and a maroon-and-gold draped garment places one raised hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl. The recipient stands with palms together at his waist while the officiant holds a folded paper in the other hand. Behind them stand women in white and orange clothing and gold-embroidered draperies, with a golden ornamental panel at left. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan ritual inside a temple setting.2015-10-24September 13 20132013-09-13A seated man with long dreadlock-style hair wound up on his head, a white tilak on his forehead, a red-and-white flower garland and a rudraksha mala, wearing a rust-orange wrap, places both hands on the head of an older man kneeling before him. The older man, with grey hair and a beard, wears a white shirt and a brown rudraksha mala, his palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them stands a golden ornate throne and a backdrop of colourful floral garlands, with a woman in a green top and a patterned shawl assisting at right. The gesture suggests blessing or initiation at a satsang setting. The appearance-based candidate is a person seated on the throne, identified by his distinctive hair, rudraksha mala, orange wrap and ornate throne; the kneeling man and assistant are devotees.2018-04-23April 25 20182018-04-25 +1 copies
