A photograph of a seated man with long, dark, wavy hair and a red bindi, wearing a draped purple-grey shawl over a red garment, seated on a red velvet throne-like chair. Facing him, a man in a white shirt and white trousers raises both hands in a blessing gesture near the seated man's forehead, with a red thread bracelet on his wrist. Behind them stand a tall golden oil lamp (lamp), a golden bird-topped finial, and a colourful painted backdrop with mandala-like motifs. A red box with flower petals sits in the foreground. The seated man has distinctive long hair and a shawl, consistent with a person presence; the standing man appears to be a devotee giving a blessing.
