Beside them a younger man with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a white and gold-bordered cloth sits in profile. Behind them stands a large gold-leaf throne with lion-head armrest and a silver staff, against a deep red curtain and gold carved panels.

No: a figure with long dark hair wearing a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, a gold bangle and a maroon-and-gold draped garment places one raised hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl. The recipient stands with palms together at his waist while the officiant holds a folded paper in the other hand. Behind them stand women in white and orange clothing and gold-embroidered draperies, with a golden ornamental panel at left. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan ritual inside a temple setting.2015-10-24October 15 20152015-10-15
