A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-brown robe placing his right palm on the forehead of a smiling man in a white kurta with an orange shawl and a black cord bracelet. Both are smiling with eyes closed in a blessing moment. Behind them stands a gilded deity murti with a crown, draped in yellow and green fabric and red-and-white flower garlands, with a white air conditioner unit and a backdrop of ocean wave photographs. A small white card is held in the lower hand area. The robed man appears to be a sannyasi and the white-clad man a devotee receiving blessing.
