Photograph of a seated man with closed eyes, a moustache and a rudraksha mala, receiving a touch on the forehead from a younger man with long dark hair, wearing a yellow-gold shawl over white. The seated man wears white clothing and sits with his hands joined near his chest. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand with hands raised toward the seated man, some wearing rudraksha malas and identity badges. The setting appears to be an indoor hall during a blessing or initiation moment.
