A photograph of an elderly man with grey hair, wearing a cream jacket and an orange-patterned scarf, kneeling with palms pressed together in namaste. A seated figure in a rust-orange turban, rudraksha mala necklaces and an orange-and-yellow shawl places a hand on the man's forehead in blessing. Behind them, gold ornate carvings and a red curtain frame a golden chair, and a wooden tray of apples sits nearby. A standing person in white clothes is visible in the background. Whether the seated figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the identity is left unsure.
