A photograph of a man with long dark swept-back hair wearing an orange sleeveless garment and a pink garland, leaning forward and touching a boy's forehead with his right hand. The boy wears a light blue checked shirt and holds a red apple. Around them stand a girl in a red blouse and purple skirt wearing a rudraksha mala, a woman in white with folded hands, and an older woman in a pink sari holding an apple. Other women in saris and a child are visible in the background. The man resembles the a person candidate with distinctive long hair and orange clothing, so this is a probable in-person presence. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan with apples, in a domestic-style room.
