Close photo of a man in a white kurta with long swept-back hair and a moustache placing his right hand on the forehead of an older, greyish-haired man in white clothing, a gesture of blessing during an initiation-style ritual. Behind them, other men in white and orange-trimmed clothing lean in with hands raised. A gold bangle is visible on the blessing hand. The long-haired man in white with a moustache and ornate embroidered collar is a probable candidate for a person by appearance, though the identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
