A night-time photograph of a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange turban and sleeveless saffron-orange garment, with a red tilak on the forehead, placing a hand on the crown of a bald, grey-bearded man in a blue-and-white striped shirt who bows with palms pressed together. Around them stand several onlookers in white and cream shirts, one wearing an orange shawl, with bright coloured lights glowing in the background. A tall, swept-back long hair and ceremonial orange attire are visible, but the person's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the presiding figure is described by role as a giver of blessing. Several more people are visible in the crowd behind them.
