The devotee is bare-chested with white sacred threads across his shoulder and a dark cloth at his waist. Behind him is a large painted deity murti with red and orange tones and a gold ornate ceremonial object on the left. The blessing hand wears a red thread bracelet. The person giving the blessing is not fully visible and cannot be identified.2018-03-24November 14 20102010-11-14Close side-profile photo of a short-haired, greying man with eyes closed, receiving a blessing as another person's hand rests on his forehead, with the palm of his other hand raised in front of his chest. He wears a white garment edged with yellow and a brown rudraksha mala around his neck; the background is a blurred warm-toned crowd. Appearance alone does not establish identity and no name is printed on the person, so a person is unsure.2017-09-21 +1 copiesMarch 24 20182018-03-24 +1 copiesMarch 25 20182018-03-25A photograph of a blessing scene. A man with long dreadlocks wearing a leopard-print headband, a crown-like ornament on top of his head, a pink and white flower garland, and a rust-orange cloth draped over his shoulder places his right hand on the forehead of a seated, bare-chested older man with grey hair and a gold chain, who bows his head with hands joined. Behind them, a golden deity murti and a red curtain are visible, and another bare-chested man in a white dhoti stands in the background. The blessing gesture suggests darshan. a person is the dreadlocked figure, identified by his long dreadlocks, leopard-print headband, crown-like ornament, floral garland and orange cloth, and he is performing the blessing. Three to four people are visible.2017-08-23A photograph of a ritual in which a person in an orange and gold-trimmed cloth is having ash or powder applied to the face.
