Behind them, strings of coloured lights, scaffolding, and a few devotees in the background suggest a temple or ashram hall. a person is the garlanded man: he wears saffron clothing and a rudraksha-style necklace, and sits near the throne in a ceremonial setting.

A photograph of a ceremonial blessing inside a red-draped hall. A man in a red-orange cloth and a gold bead necklace with a white and red forehead mark touches the forehead of a young man with curly hair and a blue headband. The young man wears a white sleeveless top and raises both palms, while the blesser extends his right arm and holds a folded white paper in his left hand. A large gold cobra-hooded object and a silver staff entwined with a snake stand beside them, with a peacock-feather fan visible at the left edge and another partially visible person at the right edge. The blesser has a rudraksha bracelet on his wrist. The page names a person as present, but the blesser's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm his identity, so the role is described as the blesser.
