A photograph of a seated man in a red shawl over bare shoulders, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a sandalwood-paste tilak with a red dot on his forehead, smiling as he places a hand on the head of a man with dark hair who bends forward. Behind him a lit brass oil lamp burns on a stand beside gold drapery and a red velvet cushion. Two other people are partly visible in the foreground, one with a shaved head and one in an orange-and-green striped shirt. The scene resembles a blessing or darshan moment in a temple-like room.
