A photograph in an indoor hall with cream walls and framed devotional pictures at the upper left. A man in a white and gold turban with a large gold fan-shaped ornament and a white and gold garment, wearing a heavy gold and rudraksha necklace and gold bangles, extends his hand to touch the forehead of a young man with folded palms. Other devotees in white and plain shirts stand with palms pressed together, and a monk in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala stands at right. Flower garlands with red and white blossoms are in the lower right foreground. The turbaned figure has long swept hair visible beneath the turban and several distinctive ceremonial cues, but the appearance is uncertain.
