Photograph of a long-haired man in a white embroidered kurta and a turquoise turban, wearing a red-and-orange garland, placing his palm on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt with a dark beaded necklace. The setting is a crowded hall with many standing and seated devotees in white and cream clothing, a red floor covering and a pedestal fan at left. The man in turquoise has long swept-back hair and a dense beard, and the cues are a turban, long hair and a garland; the appearance is a person giving blessing to a delegate, though the face is partly turned and the image is not conclusive.
