A photograph of a shaved-headed devotee in a white shirt kneeling with his head bowed while a figure in a saffron-orange turban and sleeveless saffron-orange robe places a hand on his head. The blessing figure has long dark hair visible at the back and a bare arm. Behind them a man in white dhoti and kurta holds a camera, another man in yellow clothes stands at left with palms pressed together, and a few seated people in white appear in the background of a hall with white flooring and dark chairs. The blessing figure's head and build are the only cues; the turban and saffron robe are the distinctive ones, and the setting is a discourse hall.
