A close photo of a man with closed eyes seated and receiving a blessing: a hand rests on his forehead from the right. He wears a white collared shirt, a rudraksha mala hangs at his neck, and he appears damp with water on his face. Behind him, out of focus, are strings of orange and red beads and an orange cloth. A second person is partly visible at the left edge. No a person candidate is visible; the scene is a devotee receiving a forehead blessing during a ritual.
