A photograph of a blessing exchange indoors. A man with long dark hair in a bun, bare-shouldered in a rust-brown cloth with a gold ceremonial necklace of beads, presses his right palm to the forehead of a shorter, grey-haired man in a white kurta with a red and white beaded mala around his neck. A woman in white sits blurred in the lower right, and a pale curtain and dark wall form the background. The gesture resembles a padapuja-style blessing, with the standing figure giving the blessing and the other receiving it.
