A photograph of an indoor devotional gathering. A man with long dark hair swept back, wearing an orange saffron shawl and draped orange garment, multiple rudraksha malas and a rudraksha bracelet, smiles while placing his right hand on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt whose palms are pressed together in namaskar.
