Indoor stage photo at an ashram-style event. A bare-chested man kneels on a red-cushioned platform with his back to the camera while a seated man in saffron-orange robes, rudraksha beads and a striped wrap-style head covering places his hand on the kneeling man's forehead, as in a blessing. A woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala kneels beside them and holds hands with a woman in a brown patterned sari and beaded necklace who stands nearby. To the right, a woman in a white sari and a woman in white salwar kameez stand near a curtain, and a golden statue is partly visible behind them. Red curtains hang behind the stage and a fan stands at the edge.
