A photograph of a shaven-headed? no. A man with a topknot bun wearing an orange-red saffron robe and a rudraksha mala stands leaning forward, placing his right hand on the forehead of an older man in a white shirt. The older man has both arms raised high in an open-palmed gesture, eyes closed, head tilted back. Behind them a second man in white stands near a red curtain, and several people in white garments stand in the background. Green potted plants and a brass or golden ritual implement appear in the foreground.
