A photograph of a person in white clothing with a bare shoulder and a long gold necklace of ornate beads and a gold armlet, placing a raised right hand on the head of a shaved-headed man in a dark shirt with his back to the camera. Behind them stand an ornate gold throne backrest and a gold oil lamp with a small flame. The seated figure has long, swept-back dark hair and gold ear adornments, and is giving a blessing, which appears to be a head-touching blessing or darshan. The scene suggests a satsang or blessing setting in a temple-like room with gold and red decor.
