A seated figure in a rust-red turban, rust-red and orange robes, a red and turquoise beaded mala and a gold necklace raises a hand to touch the forehead of a standing man in white dhoti and shirt with a white headband, a red shawl and a white flower in his hair. Behind them, devotees in maroon and orange cloth stand near a golden ornate chair and a small golden figure. The seated figure has long-established cues of a sannyasi with distinctive ornate adornments, so the appearance label is a person seated in a blessing gesture; the standing man receives blessing. Roughly six to eight people are visible.2015-08-09October 16 20122012-10-16Photo 82873642018-01-10 +2 copiesAugust 26 20172017-08-26 +1 copiesTwo men greet each other with palms pressed together on an ornate stage under a white tent canopy.
