A photograph of a bare-chested figure in saffron-orange cloth with long hair tied in a topknot and small gold hoop earrings, seated on a dark cushioned seat before a red draped backdrop. He holds a folded paper in one hand while placing his other palm on the forehead of a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl printed with the mantra Om Hreem. Behind them, other people in white and orange sit watching. The seated figure shows distinctive ornamental cues in a ceremonial setting, consistent with a person as the blessing giver, while the man in white is a devotee receiving blessing. Several onlookers in white and orange are visible in the background.
