A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with long hair tied back, white vibhuti on his forehead and a rudraksha mala around his neck, raising both hands to bless the forehead of a grey-haired man in a white shirt with an orange-red scarf and an event badge. Behind them stand a silver trident and a golden deity murti with ornate gold adornments, and bamboo and green leaves frame the scene. Whether the saffron-clad figure is a person cannot be established from appearance alone, so the role is given as a seated spiritual teacher blessing a devotee. Two people are visible.
