October 21 20152015-10-21 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man in a red-orange turban, rudraksha mala and gold-trimmed saffron cloth placing his right hand on the bald head of a bare-chested, bespectacled monk who kneels before him in saffron and gold-bordered cloth with a rudraksha mala. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the a person presentation cues (turban, rudraksha mala, ornate saffron clothing and gold necklace) but identity is uncertain. Behind them, seated devotees in white and saffron shawls, several wearing black blindfolds, sit on pink cushions in a hall with a patterned panel on the wall. A printed sign shows a list of lines in English and a small light-blue ornamental pattern appears at the upper left of the sign. The watermarked image is a ritual blessing or initiation scene.2015-10-21 +1 copiesOctober 21 20152015-10-21 +1 copiesOctober 21 20152015-10-21 +1 copiesJuly 13 20152015-07-13November 04 20132013-11-04A photograph of a bare-shouldered figure in a rust-orange turban with a silver emblem and orange-gold robes with a rudraksha mala draped over the chest, placing a hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl.

Behind them a woman in white with red sari border and beaded necklace gestures with her hand, and several men in white kurtas with orange-red shawls stand watching. A red cushioned throne-like seat is at the lower left and a red and gold setting frames the scene. The gesture appears to be a blessing or initiation touch.
