The blessing hand belongs to a person whose forearm enters from the left edge. The man's other hand is raised palm-outward near his chest.2011-12-02A close side-profile photograph of a man with short greying hair and a shaved crown, eyes closed and a slight smile, dressed in a plain white kurta with an open collar.
