Photograph of two men in close indoor contact. The man on the left wears an orange saffron wrap draped over bare shoulders, has his hair tied back in a knot, a small red vermilion mark on his forehead, and a black cord around his neck; he extends his arm to rest his hand on the forehead of the second man. The man on the right wears a white ritual garment and a rudraksha mala around his neck, with his head bowed and eyes closed. Behind them are a dark curtain and a red-and-white backdrop with a green plant at the right. The left man's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference but is not conclusive, so his role is described as a person giving blessing and identity is left unsure.2011-09-03 +1 copiesApril 24 20172017-04-24March 27 20182018-03-27 +1 copiesA photograph of a ritual blessing.
