A photograph of a sacred blessing under a pavilion with a gold-and-red throne at right. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair tied up, wearing a thick garland of pink and red flowers, leans forward to place hands on the shoulders of a young man in a white shirt and jeans, who bows his head. Beside him a woman in a pink dupatta and white kurta stands with clasped hands, while other devotees in green and cream saris, white shirts and yellow robes watch with eyes lowered. A wooden tray with flowers, sweets and small bottles sits in front of the throne.
