Photograph of a close, intimate moment: a man with hair tied in a bun and a rudraksha mala draped over his bare shoulder, wearing a red-and-gold wrap, leans his forehead toward a boy in a red polo shirt who bows his head in front of him. A vermilion tilak marks the man's forehead, and a soft lamp glow appears in the background. The man's features are partly obscured by the close framing and the bowing gesture. Two physical people are visible.

A photograph of a man with hair tied in a bun, bare-shouldered and wearing a red wrap with a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder, bowing his head toward a boy in a red polo shirt who leans forward with his head touching the man's head. A flame of an oil lamp glows in the background, with blurred colourful pictures behind them. The man's appearance shows a rudraksha mala and red wrap but no clear crown, saffron robe or ceremonial gold necklace, so the identity of the man cannot be confirmed; he is a priest or devotee receiving blessing from the child.2011-07-04July 07 20112011-07-07November 27 20112011-11-27Photograph of two men in close indoor contact. A man with hair tied back in a bun, wearing a red-maroon cloth with gold border and a long rudraksha mala, smiles while placing his right hand on the forehead of a shaved-headed man in a white t-shirt with a rudraksha mala, whose hands are pressed together in anjali and eyes are closed. Plain peach wall background and a dark curtain at left. Appearance cues on the man in red-maroon with rudraksha mala are present, though not conclusive, so identity is uncertain and the role is described as a teacher giving blessing.2011-07-18November 27 20112011-11-27July 07 20112011-07-07September 04 20112011-09-04 +1 copiesJuly 08 20112011-07-08A photograph of a close, intimate blessing moment in dim warm light. A person in an orange-red garment and a dark rudraksha mala places one hand on the head of a younger boy in a light grey-blue button shirt, both with heads bowed close together. Behind them a blurred warm glow and a golden-tinted object suggest an altar or ritual setting. A bare-armed wrap in white is visible on the blessing hand. The scene reads as a personal blessing or darshan during a program.2011-07-08September 20 20152015-09-20February 10 20162016-02-10 +1 copiesA photograph of a standing man in a red and gold-bordered robe with a long rudraksha mala around his neck and dark hair tied in a bun, placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white polo shirt with blue stripes.
