A bare-shouldered figure with a swept-back bun, white vibhuti stripe and red kumkum on the forehead, wearing a white-and-red flower garland and a dark red shawl, places a hand on the forehead of a seated man with short grey hair in a white shirt who has a red thread on his wrist. A gilded lion-headed seat or throne and a gold staff stand nearby, and a woman in a red garment is partly visible at the right edge. Appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role as the officiant.2014-05-13September 02 20132013-09-02A seated man in a rust-red saffron wrap, long hair tied back, white tripundra on his forehead and a white-and-gold flower garland over his shoulder, smiles as he places his right palm on the head of a man in a white t-shirt who kneels before him with hands joined.
