A photograph of a man in a plain white t-shirt and a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, smiling and tying a thin orange sacred thread onto the wrist of a seated man. The seated man wears saffron-orange robes, a gold chain necklace, gold bangles and a red bindi, with white vibhuti marks on his face and shoulders, and has long dark hair. Behind them stands a deity murti decorated with colourful flower garlands in pink, green, white and yellow, and a red and gold canopy with a bird motif. The seated man is a probable Swamiji with long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, and the scene suggests a blessing exchange in a room setting.2006-05-21Photograph of a smiling man with long, swept-back black hair and a red bindi, wearing an orange saffron garment and a white cloth over his lap, seated and tying a white sacred thread over the shoulder of a young boy in a blue, green and yellow plaid shirt seen from behind. Behind them is an altar with gold-framed deity images, garlands, brass kalasha pots and a decorated arch.
