A photograph of a devotee in a white shirt with yellow horizontal stripes having his forehead touched by a man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered shawl and a rudraksha mala. The robed man, with hair tied in a bun and a small red tilak on his forehead, extends his right arm to press his palm on the devotee's brow, while the devotee stands with eyes closed and a red thread on his wrist. Behind them, a shaved-headed monk in orange robes and other people are blurred in a bright interior. The scene appears to be a blessing given in a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam setting. a person identity is uncertain from appearance; the robed man is described by role only.
