A photograph of a shaved-headed?no. A man with hair tied in a bun and a white forehead mark stands at right in a saffron-orange wrap, bare-shouldered, wearing a gold necklace and gold bracelet, smiling as he presses a folded white paper or cloth to the head of a seated person. Before a red draped backdrop, a woman with long wavy light-brown hair in a white top and orange-striped lanyard lifts her hands in anjali near her face. A seated figure in white clothing is partly visible in the center, and others are at the far left edge.
