A man with long, loose dark hair wears a sleeveless bright orange top and an orange wrap, and sits in front of a man in a white t-shirt with an orange shawl and a blue cord necklace. The man in orange presses his palm to the forehead of the man in white, who tilts his head back with both arms raised and palms open, as if receiving a blessing. The man in orange holds a folded white cloth in his other hand. Part of an air conditioner and a seated observer are visible at the edges.
