A photograph of a temple-style blessing. A person with long hair pulled back, wearing a tiger-striped gold-and-black garment, a large rudraksha mala necklace and a dense rudraksha girdle, places one hand on the head of a young boy in a red-and-orange shawl, while raising another hand that holds a silver bell-ringing rod with hanging bells. Behind them a standing man in a white dhoti with gold border and a rudraksha mala watches. Red velvet drapes and colourful garlanded deity murti decorations fill the background. A devotee's head is visible in the lower foreground. Activity appears to be a blessing or padapuja-style ritual.
