A photograph of a man with long dark dreadlocks and a beard, wearing an orange-brown t-shirt and a pink-and-yellow flower garland, placing his right palm on the forehead of an elderly white-haired man in white clothes with a red-and-orange shawl. The elder keeps his eyes closed and head bowed. Behind them a younger man in white and yellow-trimmed cloth stands near a cream pillar and a deep red curtain. The man with dreadlocks has a dark wrist mala. The setting appears to be an indoor hall during a blessing or darshan moment.
