A man on the right in saffron-orange robes with a white garland and rudraksha bands sits on an orange cushioned sofa, with a rudraksha mala and bangles, a person candidate; his face is not visible to be confident, so the label is unsure. Facing him, a woman in orange with glasses and rudraksha malas holds a small oil lamp flame and a flower-decorated item. A man in white with a grey beard and rudraksha mala sits with palms pressed together. Behind them, young attendants in orange wear jasmine garlands, one holding a silver trident, and a framed deity picture hangs on the wall with a wooden tray on a table.2014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07July 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copies
