A photograph of a seated man in orange robes placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a rudraksha mala around his neck. The orange-robed man has long swept-back dark hair and wears a sleeveless orange garment. Behind them another man in orange stands, and a cameraman in white kurta with a rudraksha mala films the scene on a video camera. In front is a silver-coloured ritual vessel with embossed figures, and bronze and brass items sit on a wooden stand beside a carved stone pillar. The orange-robed figure's distinctive long hair and saffron garb suggest a probable match to the a person depicted, but this is not certain from appearance alone.
