Warm-lit photograph of a ritual in a hall. In the foreground, a figure with a green and red turban, gold armbands and a green-and-white garland stands with his back to the camera, offering a bowl to a seated man in orange clothes with long braided dreadlocks and a shallow red bowl or leaf held at his lips. A second person in orange with braided hair holds a brass bowl of offerings. Green and white flower garlands hang on the right. Behind them a crowd of people in orange and red clothing raise their hands. A red digital clock is on the wall. The seated man's identity is not established by visible cues, so he is described by role only.

The blessing man presses a hand to the seated man's forehead while holding a white paper, and bowls of red fruit sit on a green cloth beside them. Other saffron-clad people stand in the background near a golden throne. The scene suggests a diksha or darshan blessing. The blessing man has distinctive long dreadlocks, rudraksha malas and ceremonial adornments, matching the page's description of an event with a person present, so he is a person candidate.2018-02-04September 24 20172017-09-24 +1 copiesSeptember 24 20172017-09-24 +2 copies
