A photograph of a bare-chested figure with long dark hair in a bun, wearing an orange-saffron cloth and a rudraksha mala, placing both hands on the crown of a seated man's head in a blessing gesture. The seated man wears a white kurta, an orange-red shawl over the shoulders, and a wristwatch. Golden cobra-hood ornaments and a golden decorative stand surround them, with red fabric and a green foliage garland nearby. The image appears to show a blessing ritual, possibly padapuja or darshan, in a ceremonial hall.2014-05-12May 12 20142014-05-12A photograph of a satsang hall with a red carpet.
