A photograph of a seated sannyasi in orange robes and an orange turban placing his right palm on the forehead of a kneeling devotee in a white long-sleeved shirt with long dark hair. The seated man wears a rudraksha mala and a patterned waist cloth. The devotee's hands are pressed together in anjali. Behind them, a row of seated devotees in orange shawls and white clothes watch within a brick-walled hall with pillars and potted plants. The scene appears to be a blessing or pooja moment. The seated figure's identity is not established by visible cues alone, so he is described by role as a sannyasi, with the uncertain identity noted in the a person field.
