A photograph of a devotional greeting in an indoor hall with red curtains and framed pictures on the wall. A bare-chested man on the right wears a red-and-gold turban with white flower decorations, a red-and-gold dhoti, rudraksha bead necklaces and multiple beaded bracelets, with white sacred ash marks on his arms and face. He raises a hand to touch the forehead of a bearded man in a white shirt with a red shawl, who clasps the first man's other hand. Behind them stand a man in a white shirt with a lanyard, a younger man in white, and several other devotees, some in red shawls. The mood is a formal darshan-style blessing with ash applied to the devotee's forehead.
