A photograph of a ritual blessing. A man in a magenta-pink turban and matching pink shawl stands at right, holding a small folded paper in one hand and pressing his other palm to the forehead of a red-bearded man in white clothing, who wears a beaded rudraksha-style mala and has his eyes closed. Behind them, several men in white shirts stand with hands joined in prayer, and another man in a white shirt and dark-rimmed glasses holds his palms together at left. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with a yellow and orange cloth hanging in the background. The pink-clad figure's distinctive turban and shawl are visible, but his face is only partly shown, so identity is uncertain.
