Hands from another person extend from the left and right, one raised palm facing outward. Blurred gold ritual vessels and a golden kalasha-like object and a brass lamp stand fill the background, with pink and orange garlands. The man has short dark hair and no visible crown or saffron robe, so no candidate is identified.2010-11-14A photograph of a bald, grey-bearded man in white clothing and a rudraksha mala seated with his head bowed, while a woman in white stands behind him with both palms pressed to the crown of his head in a blessing gesture. Behind them stand ornate gold lamps and stands, a deity murti decorated with white garlands and sparkling ornaments, and draped fabrics in pink and green. The bowed man's identity is not established by any visible cue beyond ordinary white ritual clothing and a rudraksha mala, so no a person candidate is asserted; he is described by role as a seated devotee receiving a blessing. The woman is in white with a purple hair ornament. Two physical people are visible.2010-11-14November 14 20102010-11-14
