A photograph taken indoors at a convention hall. In the foreground, a man in a cream-white turban and white garment, with a yellow-trimmed cloth and a strand of blue and pink flower garland, reaches forward and presses his palm to the forehead of a man in a white collared shirt who has closed eyes and wears a rudraksha mala with a small gold-coloured pendant. Behind them, several men in white shirts stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, and a figure in an orange shawl stands at right beside a blue cooler unit. The setting appears to be a blessing moment during a gathering.
