A bespectacled elderly man with a shaved head, wearing saffron robes, a white-and-green flower garland and a red headband with a rudraksha mala, sits on the left with his hand extended. In the centre, a younger man in saffron robes with a red headband, a red tilak, a long gold-bead necklace and gold earrings sits and gestures toward a kneeling devotee in white clothes with hair in a bun, who holds both palms out in a reverent gesture. An air cooler and a standing man in white dhoti and pale shirt with a rudraksha mala are visible at the right. The scene suggests a respectful blessing or darshan exchange.2012-05-28November 06 20132013-11-06August 30 20152015-08-30A seated elderly man in orange saffron robes and a rudraksha mala is receiving a devotee at an ornate gilded throne with orange velvet cushions.

He holds a small brass vessel with a lid. A devotee in a white shirt with a black beaded necklace bows forward, and another person's hand is visible at the right edge.
