A photograph of a seated man in long, swept-back dark hair wearing orange saffron robes and a dark rudraksha mala, with a vertical red-orange mark on his forehead, sitting on a white-covered throne-like seat in front of maroon velvet drapes. He holds a folded white paper in one hand while his other hand rests on the head of an older bearded man in pale peach-orange robes who bows forward with his palms folded, receiving a blessing. A red cushion and white bolster sit beside the seat, and a tray with offerings lies nearby. A partially visible person in white stands at the right edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads, though appearance is uncertain. Two people appear, one seated and one bowing, with a third partially visible at the edge, so total is three.
